We've been twice and the service here is impeccable. Warm, friendly dentists and reception staff make your little one feel relaxed and welcome. Our last visit was with a male dentist (sorry I don't know his name) and he was energetic, gentle, patient and knew exactly how to put my daughter at ease. The service was so good, I can't stop thinking about it! Rare, in my experience with dentists.

Shame on you and here I was thinking what an awesome dentist. Hope you realise how many lives will never be the same again because of these supposed vaccines. How dare you support coercion, manipulation,life threatening reactions. Just another company worries about their dollar and definitely not their people. People like yourselves are too busy to research their demands before demanding. I would like to say I wish you the best but as you don't unto others, same to you.

Sad to leave the only dentist my child has ever been to but I don't agree with their vaccine mandate.

I can not believe any evolved and decent person would demand that another person and particular a 12 year old child, have a dangerous experimental so called vaccine. My children are clients and WILL NOT return. I will be contacting you tomorrow to obtain their records to take our business elsewhere. For one my kids are not lab rats and even if I was willing to experiment on them, I teach them to have respect for others and to not discriminate.

They are absolutely amazing with kids. I've been taking my 9yr old son to them since he was 6 and needed to get some fillings and extractions. They were superb with him. Made him feel at ease and comfortable. He loves going to them. Every time we have to take him to the dentist, his first question is "Is it my favourite dentists?"
I even took my little one to them after he had an accident at preschool last year and lost a bit of his top front tooth. Was really worried as to how he would react to getting the tooth out, but he dint feel a thing and it was all done in a snap! They are also registered

Thank you so much for making my sons experience comfortable. We attempted to go to the local dentist last week and it was a horrific experience. My son was terrified. But today at the little happy tooth even had an xray done! I highly recommend this place if your children are sensitive and nervous like mine. Thank you again.

This is the most wonderful childrens dentist, we have been bringing our children here for a couple of years. We had an appointment with Jules, the hygienist, with our 6 year old. She was incredible, such a wonderful and kind manner with my son and was able to then switch into professional mode to discuss with me the issue with my sons tooth and how we were to mange it. I could not have asked for a better experience at the dentist!
