Stonecreek Dentistry
Colin Suzman, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to write a review. Long and short of it, like all the other reviews, Dr. Suzman and his staff are great! I’ve recommended him and his office to several of my friends and anyone who’s ever looking to change dentists. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Suzman’s for about 10 years. He and his staff have the utmost professionalism and are caring, personable, accommodating and honest in their work. I used to dread going to the dentist because all of my prior dental experiences have been painful and just overall unpleasant. That ended when I started coming here. Dr. Suzman and staff are extremely thorough in their work (I see Stacy as my hygienist) and never recommend work that is not necessary. I know this from personal experience.  I don’t have dental insurance, so when my prior employer offered dental HMO, I seized the opportunity to save some money. I went for a check up with this HMO dentist, who then said I needed about $2k worth of work. WHAT?! I’ve never had any problems or required anything major needed with my teeth, other than the occasional cavity. I was shocked. Not trusting this dentist, I sought a second opinion from Dr. Suzman, who said all that work was bogus and unnecessary. Since then, I’ve opted just to pay out of pocket to see Dr. Suzman and staff because I trust them.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Suzman for around 4 years.  I love everything about this place.  Dr. Suzman is friendly, skilled, and a pleasure to work with.  He is upfront on treatment options and is conservative in his treatment (rather than other dentists that may push unneeded costly procedures to make extra money). Roxanne, my hygienist, is an amazing person.  Warm, welcoming, friendly, and does a great job.  The biggest compliment I can deliver is the fact that I now look forward to seeing the dentist

I became acquainted with this office through my husband years ago; Dr. Suzman was wonderful to my husband as he dealt with aging dental issues.  Dr. Suzman was diligent about saving his smile and his front teeth, even though it was more old-school than his traditional high tech abilities.  I have started to go there now and I have found the same wonderful experience. The staff is warm and sympathetic and comforting in an atmosphere that one doesn’t always enjoy.  Dr. Suzman is very talented, extremely professional and I feel fortunate to have found this office.   Today I had a crown done for the first time and I would like to also mention the level of professionalism and kindness of his assistant, Sarah.   All together, they are the real deal.    As an aside, it’s a beautiful office with very high tech digital equipment, everything is streamlined and they’ll even give you headphones so you can listen to your own music during the procedure

My family of three have been with Dr Suzman for 6yrs through regular cleanings, wisdom teeth removal, crowns and fillings.  We’ve never had to fix a treatment and they were always upfront on what to expect in terms on pain.  My son started going when he was 6 since the kiddie dentists just did not make him feel comfortable with their ‘facades’.  He has been going to Priscilla for his cleanings 3yrs straight.  She is naturally nurturing, calm, gentle and most of all not fake. I can’t say enough about the staff from the front desk to Dr Suzman.  One note- Dr Suzman seems to be more busy than usual lately, so he has a backup dentist sometimes.  However, when scheduling they always ask me if that’s ok or if I would like a date when Dr Suzman is available. Net- I really enjoy the personal attention they show!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Dr.Suzman  this past year. After suffering a traumatic dental injury (think face planting face first into concrete) I immediately called Dr.Suzman (on a Sunday) and he told me to come in the next day and would have the oral surgeon and gum specialist at the appt. Fast forward 1 year, and many appointments later, I have my old smile back and finally feel comfortable and confident talking to others and smiling. In addition to Dr.Suzman’s attention to detail, focused, knowledge, and perfectionist ways, his staff, both the hygienists in the back and the front desk, are professional and really work together, whether booking appointments or going over the details of your dental procedures. They are organized, efficient and professional. The dental trauma I experienced not only resulted in numerous dental procedures, such as surgery to pull down and realign the 4 front teeth that were damaged; 2 root canals; temporary bonding, and finally, porcelain veneers.  While the oral surgeon and lab technician, who created the veneers, both collaborated with Dr.Suzman throughout the past year, I truly believe that Dr.Suzman’s patience; superior knowledge of both general and cosmetic dentistry; motivation to provide top-notch, outstanding quality dentistry, and the desire to make his patients look and feel their best made all the difference. In addition to the cosmetic aspect,  Dr. Suzman was just as focused on the health and well-being of my teeth. If you are looking for top quality dentistry go see Dr.Suzman.

I just love this office! From the moment I walked in the very first time, I knew I would be happy with this place. The office has a lovely interior. None of that cold, old school medical feeling at all. The decor is hip, which puts me at ease. Dr. Suzman is a wonderful dentist. He’s very friendly and skilled at what he does. I really appreciate that he has personally called to check in with me after having a procedure. The rest of the staff is great too. The technology at Dr. Suzman’s office is also worth praising. Each dental station is equipped with the latest technology. You can also confirm appointments on their website, in addition to filling out (type-enabled) pdf forms when you first become a client. Who in their right mind still wants to fill out a clipboard of old boring questions when they get to the office? Not at this place! Just make sure you go to their website first before you walk in.

I was first treated by Dr. Suzman in Los Angeles in 1991, and he is so good that I followed him when he moved to Irvine. I actually drive from San Diego for treatment. When I arrive at Stonecreek Dentistry, the receptionist greets me by my name, the dental assistants greet me by my name and introduce themselves. The offices are very well equipped with the latest ultra-modern equipped, and sparkling clean. The dental assistants are well presented and really efficient. Dental assistant Sarah made a temporary crown for me, which fit and felt better than temporary crowns made by other Dentists. Dr. Suzman is really polite, very efficient, treatment is almost painless, and I can go there with absolute confidence that I am receiving the best treatment possible. I also have confidence that Dr. Suzman would never do any unnecessary treatments.
