Dr. Matthew Quinn, DMD
General Dentist
Dr. Matt Quinn was born in Chilliwack, BC. He completed his undergraduate degree in Biology as well as his Doctorate of Dental Medicine degree at the University of British Columbia. His interest in dentistry started while working in a veterinary office, helping a dental veterinarian attend to the oral needs of cats and dogs. Or perhaps, it started in Grade 4 when he helped to extract his classmates' teeth at recess?!
After graduation in 2008, he followed his wife to Nanaimo where she was completing her studies. Dr. Quinn has gained invaluable experience over time through various practice opportunities, learning from colleagues, assisting oral surgeons and ongoing involvement with study clubs. He is dedicated to providing full-service dentistry in a caring and friendly manner to his patients and their families.
In his spare time Dr. Quinn enjoys working on his hobby farm with his wife and 2 kids and has recently become a bee keeper. He also loves mountain biking, golfing, surfing, fishing and woodworking.

Dr. Zolotco practiced dentistry at a busy family practice in Ottawa. In 2017 he moved to Nanaimo and has been providing dental care in our community ever since.
Dr. Zolotco is comfortable providing a broad spectrum of dental services, thoroughly treatment planned for every single patient. Treating everyone with care, compassion and honesty are a few of the key features of his philosophy of dentistry. As an avid learner, Dr. Zolotco is always pursuing improvement of his knowledge of dentistry through continuing education. He is an active member of the SPEAR study club, VI surgical study club and many more.
Outside of dentistry, Ivan enjoys hiking, trail-running, yoga, playing bass guitar, travelling, and exploring various cultures and cuisines. But most of all, he enjoys spending time with his wife Ana and their little dog Ivy.
