Michael Sretavan, MD

Dr. Stretevan is a very good dentist and a resolute generalist. For a root canal or other specializations, patients need to take his referrals to others he recommends in other offices. Unlike so many bored and overpaid dental hygenists, he does a very thorough teeth cleaning. Remember when dentists here used to do those themselves? Two years ago I was given his name by a friend who is his patient when I developed a mysterious pain in my jaw. I was in a rush to see a dentist and took a bus out to his other office which is in Port Moody. Yes, pack a lunch and a change of clothes for that trip. Telling his staff there that I lived in Yaletown elicited a reaction as if I had announced in Moose Jaw that I lived in Miami. He works at least one day a week at a Maple RIdge clinic he took over when the dentist there retired. He is a proponent of lasers in dentistry and managed to erase my pain before I went to the root canal specialist to whom he referred me. He took the time to discuss at length the long term treatment he recommended for me, which was in the form of a night guard to stop me from clenching my teeth. I was impressed.
