Meet The Doctors

Dr. Shane Francis

Dr. Danielle Wiese

Dr. Courtney Cleaver





Dr. Shane Francis founded Royal Bay Dental Co. in 2023 with a simple but powerful goal — to create a dental experience that feels different: warm, welcoming, and truly focused on the patient.
With over 13 years of clinical experience, Dr. Francis has trained at the prestigious Kois Center, a world leader in advanced dental education. His passion for dentistry goes hand in hand with his love for building strong, supportive teams.
Today, Dr. Francis no longer sees patients directly. Instead, he devotes his time to leading and mentoring the practice’s talented associate dentists, Dr. Wiese and Dr. Vejdani. By sharing his experience and providing ongoing guidance, he ensures that every patient at Royal Bay Dental Co. receives exceptional care, the latest in modern dentistry, and the thoughtful, personal attention they deserve.
Dr. Wiese strives for her patients to feel their dental home at Royal Bay Dental Co. is comfortable, safe and enjoyable. She deeply values getting to know people of all ages and from all walks of life, meeting them where they’re at and improving their oral health along the way.
She received both her Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees at the University of Alberta. She graduated with awards for having the highest ability in operative dentistry and fixed prosthodontics, the most superior demonstrated achievement in periodontics, and leadership. Dr. Wiese is a self-described ‘sponge’ for continuing education on the evolving field of dentistry. She has pursued additional training in areas such as direct restorations, root canal procedures, esthetics and neuromodulators (“cosmetic injections”). Volunteering with Access for All Dentistry and SHINE Dentistry for many years, she’s provided free dental care to create meaningful health improvements for underserved populations. In April 2024, Dr. Wiese moved to Vancouver Island and is eager to get involved with similar local initiatives (if you’re reading this, she’d love to connect!). Growing up in rural southern Alberta has given Dr. Wiese a strong connection to outdoor activity and nature. She currently spends her free time regularly paddleboarding, gardening and exploring new trails. Outside of work, she’s happiest atop a ski hill or doing watersports.
Dr. Wiese’s commitment to her patients means you will always be met with warmth, and your questions or concerns are heard, answered and addressed. She looks forward to seeing you soon.
Born and raised in the Westshore area, Dr. Courtenay Cleaver has always felt deeply connected to the local community and is thrilled to be caring for patients close to home. She is passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate dental care and takes pride in helping her patients feel comfortable, understood, and confident in their smiles.
Dr. Courtenay Cleaver completed her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the University of British Columbia after earning her undergraduate degree from the University of Victoria. During her time at UBC, Courtenay received several academic awards and enjoyed mentoring junior dental students through the university’s mentorship program. She is a proud member of the British Columbia College of Oral Health Professionals and the Canadian Dental Association.
Courtenay loves getting to know her patients and believes that great dentistry starts with genuine connection and trust. Whether she’s restoring a smile, relieving discomfort, or helping a patient overcome dental anxiety, her goal is always to improve her patients’ health and overall well-being through personalized care.
Outside of the clinic, Courtenay enjoys spending time with her family and their dog, soaking up the natural beauty of Vancouver Island, and traveling to experience new cultures. She looks forward to meeting you and being part of your journey to achieve a healthy, happy smile!
