Known for many years as Dr. Colleen Clancy, she recently returned to her maiden name, Greiner. For simplicity, at Crown Isle Dental we now refer to her as Dr. Colleen or Colleen.
With a wealth of experience, Dr. Colleen continues to be passionate about ongoing learning, particularly with regard to patient comfort, quality long-term outcomes, cosmetics, occlusion (the bite), as it relates to the TMJ (the jaw joints), and in making treatment plans easily understandable to patients.
Outside the clinic, Colleen loves the outdoor beauty of the Comox Valley and the small community feel. Her hobbies include skiing, sea kayaking, and gardening.

She is passionate about her position as front desk administrator and brings her wealth of knowledge to treatment coordinating and the financial aspects of a patient’s dental treatment and insurance. One of her favourite things about working in reception are the great relationships made with our patients an being able to assist them with achieving their dental treatment scheduling goals in the sometimes-confusing world of dental terminology and insurance.
