Hi

I took our 4.5 year old son to the Pediatric Dental Group (PDG) in Sunshine Hills to see Dr Leung. All the staff there were very understanding and accomodating and would never force anything on a child that they weren't ready for. We even managed to get a couple of xrays done and a full exam at his first visit.

Everyone there specializes in pediatric dentistry and have experience dealing with special needs children. There are lots of toys and tvs as well! I think there may even be several locations.

Good luck.

RE Dentists

It may be out of your way, but we had a fabulous experience with Dr. Patrick Gowdy at Rosemary Heights clinic in South Surrey. We called ahead and asked if we could bring our son along to our daughter's appointment and video the whole thing for our son's benefit (he was 3 1/2 at the time). They let him get comfortable with the place and in the end, he ended up sitting in the chair (on his dad's lap) while the dentist gave him an impromtu exam. It was a very positive experience for the whole family! Everyone at the clinic was very understanding and accommodating.

Re: Monarch Pediatric Dental

My son is 7 years old now and he literally freaks out and pees if he has to go to the dentist. We have extreme difficulty trying to clean his teeth since this incident.

Some of you may have better experience than us but I feel strong about this to post this so that you are aware. I know I would have wanted to know if there are any complaints about a business or clinic's practice.

AS I SAID BEFORE IN THE LAST POST…GO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

[Deleted User]

I am posting a msg to warn all of you of Monarch Pediatric clinic. DO NOT GO THERE.

My son who has autism spectrum disorder went there (Metrotown, Burnaby) after he accidently knocked his two front teeth off a chair.

The clinic was horrible. They refused to let us have any say in what kind of pain relief to give him. I asked if we could not put a needle in his mouth after the trauma of just falling of the chair. they said no.

they forced him into the dental chair, put straps on him and put the needle in while he screamed and pee was all over his pants.

afterwards one of the snarky dental assistants said that we could have had general anesthesia but the drugs would have cost us $500 a shot and besdies the anesthisiolgist was on vacation.

so they stole my chance of offering him help in any way. they took my rights away from me and him for choosing the best method of removal for his bent teeth.

I will NEVER recommend anyone and would strongly advise you go and take your own risk.

Not so yipee mom about monarch

Therapist available
Hello there,
I am a parent of an autistic child who has been in ABA program for
several years since he was 31/2. I am looking to do ABA program with a
family. I am currently enrolled in the ECE program for about a year.
Due to my schedule, I can only do morning weekday shifts (will arrange
to attend team meetings ).
I have experience working with autistic children as well as regular
preschool age children.
I only committ working with your child if your availability matches
mine so I will be committed once I join your team.
I can be contacted via laiching4@yahoo.com
I prefer working in Vancouver area since I depend on public transit.
Thank you,

Trinh
