Colin Suzman, DDS

My family has been going to Dr. Suzman for about 5 years now. We’ve had such bad luck with our previous dentists that I cringed about looking for a new one when we first moved to Irvine. A coworker of mine suggested Dr. Suzman and I’m sorry to say he’s going to be stuck with us forever! Even if he moves we will follow him. That sounds a bit stalkerish, but he’s that good. His staff are fabulous also. His giveaway toothbrushes at so soft… Our favorites.

I had occasion to visit Dr. Suzman again yesterday for an emergency visit.
His office answered the phone on Saturday when I was panicked. They offered me a time slot that I couldn’t make on Monday and they were willing to fit me in a different space. They are so helpful, and so gracious. Dr. Suzman is by far the most professional and the kindest dentist you can find! He could see I was in distress and he fixed my problem quickly, with beautiful results. The tooth was right in the front, so I was very nervous. It looks brand new!
No one ever wants to go to the dentist, or find a new one, but you can have faith that this dentist is the real deal. It doesn’t get any better.

I don’t have a single problem with doctor’s care, but I had a problem with staff that handles the insurance aspect. Both girls that handles the insurance told me that my cleaning would be covered especially when it was confirmed prior to my appointment. Now O am stuck with 140.00 dollar bill. I was told I will be called to resolve this matter and after two weeks later no calls until I made the call myself. I informed her that I will be going to another office and she didn’t care. I hope the doctor will ready message: GET BETTER STAFF.

We are pretty new clients — my husband and I have both been once and today, I took my three and five year old children. Everyone in the office is super nice and the hygienist Stacy was fantastic with kids. She was patient with my five year old who had her hands in everything. If you’re looking for a dentist in Irvine, this is a great spot to check out.

Are you kidding me? This group is as good as it gets. Extremely nice, well rounded individuals that always stay professional. I’ve been a customer there for about 5 years and they always take great care of me. Dr. Suzman is a profectionist with his staff and never takes the easy way out. He has always taken the time to do my work right and make sure it’s to the best of his ability. My hygienist is a lovely as the day is long. You need good people in your life, Colin and his team are very good people. My favorite part would have to be seeing Yesenia and Josie. These women are knowledgable and extremely helpful, weather it’s a call or seeing their smiling faces, they make going to the dentist something you look forward to.

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

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 have been going here for almost two years now, and I definitely won’t be going anywhere else! Stacy is a fantastic hygienist; she is so kind and I request her every time now!

I have been going here for almost 10 years even though 4 years ago I moved to LA I still make the drive to Irvine for any dental work. Not only do you get exceptional care, high quality dental work (the best as far as I am concerned) but you will never be lied to as many dentists do claiming you need unnecessary dental work just to take your money. Dr. Suzman is honest and caring and would never mislead you. The facility is state of the art and immaculate. A long time ago I had veneer work done by a different dentist and ended up with recurring issues that Dr. Suzman has completely fixed! He is gentle and always very kind as his his staff. He also does an excellent job with cosmetic work… You are in good hands at this office!

I was looking for a new dentist and my bff has been going to Dr. Suzman for years. The front office staff is friendly and I had Stacy the hygienist, who is ultra-​sweet and makes sure you are comfortable and understand everything happening. I had to write a review though because I appreciate honesty and nice treatment, and I was really blown away by Dr. Suzman being so helpful in dealing with $/​insurance. It was the end of the year and since I need a few different things done, which cost $$, he made room in his schedule (missing his lunch break!) to split my work into two, more cost-​efficient visits. I feel like dentists, just like mechanics, can either earn your trust by offering genuine care, or they can steer you into costly extras. He and his staff are professional, friendly, helpful, gentle, and I am happy I am a patient :)

After a very unpleasant experience this morning, I feel compelled to write this review about Dr. Suzman and his staff. My son went to him for a second opinion, which, he was told would be at no charge. He had xrays taken at another dentist’s office and Dr. Suzman’s staff said they would order the xrays from the other dentist.
However, when my son arrived at his appointment, Dr. Suzman told him that he would have to take more xrays at a cost of $ 60, because the xrays from the other dentist were incompatable with his office’s equipment and couldn’t be read.
When I complained to the office staff, I was told that Dr. Suzman had agreed to waive the cost for additional xrays. However, my son was then told he could leave and no further xrays would be taken.
I then spoke to the office manager, who said that Dr. Suzman had refused to waive the $ 60 charge for the xrays. I asked her if he was willing to lose $ 1200 worth of business over $ 60 worth of xrays, and she had no comment. Not a great way to run a business.
It is clear to me that this office is all about the money. In addition to the false promise of a complementary second opinion, Dr. Suzman also tried to push his own brand of toothpaste to my son, which, conveniently, could be purchased at the front desk.
My family has been coming to this office for many years, but we are done. It is clear that making a few dollars is much more important to Dr. Suzman than retaining a patient. I would not recommend him to anyone.

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.

Starting going to Dr. Suzman last year. He is great and is staff is so nice. I hate the dentist but feel really comfortable with everyone there.

Found this dentist through my insurance (Delta Dental) and am pleased to say I’m glad I did. The office is very spacious, up to date and complimented with a very friendly staff. The dentist I frequent causes pain and bleeding when I get my teeth cleaned (that asian brute force) but at this office, there was minimal bleeding and no discomfort at all! All this time, I thought I was just unfortunate to have weak gums that were prone to bleeding.
Dr. Collins also mentioned that he noticed some erosion in the lining of my mouth and explained it may be caused by the toothpaste I used (Colgate). He recommended his own toothpaste and said that patients have experienced great results. Whether or not he’s trying to sell me a product, for 10 bucks (one restoration and one whitening) I was willing to give it a shot. I googled the toothpaste when I went home and found out this is sold at walgreens and amazon as well. Pretty impressive.
All in all, I would recommend this office. At times I do feel like they’re trying to sell me on whitening and I’ve never had a dentist recommend their own line of toothpaste, but I never feel forced into buying anything. What I love most is that the dentist explains everything they’re doing so there are no surprises. My receipt had a charge for $ 195 for a dental cleaning as a first patient visit (included x-​ray exam as well), for those who care or don’t have insurance. I’m surprised there are such negative reviews for this place because my experience was awesome.

Just to start off i don’t know how ppl can give this office just one star. Ive been to plenty of dental offices in orange county and all i can say is that this one is the best by far. Starting off with front office as soon as i walk in the door I am happily greeted by this wonderful young lady i believe her name is Yesenia (hopefully spelled it right) then I was seated and was offered to help myself to refreshments. I literally waited for 1 min and was taken to the back by my new hygienist Priscilla (hopefully spelled it right) she was super nice! she asked me how my day was going and had a bit of small talk before we started made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. then started with my cleaning. Throughout the cleaning she would explain what she was doing every time she changed scary pointy and spinning tools so it would calm me down (i hate that noise) finished with the cleaning and asked me if i was ok and if i had any questions. Then she walked me to the front and handed me back over to Yesenia payed my bill and set up my next visit. This office is very high tech super clean and luxurious. Will definitely recommend =) For all you scary cats and kids will recommend Priscilla very gentle and friendly.
cleanliness:5/5
staff:5/5
technology:5/5
experience:5/5

I went there because all of the great reviews i saw on Unilocal.
The office is very nice and taken care of. All the equipment is top of the line. When you walk in they make you sit in a room and watch videos about tooth whitening and other fixes intended to make you feel insecure about your teeth.
He was a decent dentist, but I didn’t have a good experience. He kind of treated the staff bad and just acted irritated with them. He made a mistake when putting my crown on and the size wasn’t right and left a small gap in my teeth. I understand that this happens, and who knows, maybe i bit the mold wrong or something. However, he was very frustrated and borderline angry when it didn’t fit right. It was extremely uncomfortable to have an angry dentist working in your mouth… so much so that I really contemplated to stop and leave before it was done. He was very apologetic and offered to fix it, but I honestly didn’t want him to ever work on me and I still have never got it fixed.
I know, probably just my bad luck… but I didn’t think it was nearly as great as everybody else stated. And the whole «NICE» thing is a little overblown.

I tried this dentist a couple of years ago and «left with a bad taste in my mouth.» I made the mistake of giving him another shot 10−4−12. I wont go back. Dr. Suzman is one of those Dr. s that is extremely arrogant and lacks compassion. His treatment costs are 3 times the competition!

I have never ever had SUCH a pleasant experience with ANY dentists office, including my own family members who are dentists!!!
The whole staff is super friendly, and beyond helpful.
My husband and I would recommend this office to anyone who has been searching and wants to find the dentist you will stay with! I would drive 2 hours if I had to, I’m serious!
All thumbs up… Sherry.

Something strange is going on here. The doctor use to be super friendly and cool… But I recently went in for my 6 month and it was SO uncomfortable, I won’t be going back.
He was fine with me, but super rude to the dental assistant. So much so I actually mentioned something to her when he left the room and she said it was her fault bc she was being forgetful lately. Whatever the reason he should’ve maintained his professionalism in front of a patient.

Best there is!!!
There is a certain level of trust and belief that u need in someone taking care of your dentistry. True professionalism, latest
Equipment and techniques!!! Best of all the whole team makes you comfortable… one less worry in my life. Call me of I want… they ate that hood! Go dr collin!!!
