If I could give this place no stars then I would. Absoutely disgusted in there practice. I had a tooth taken out, and as soon as it came out he pushed me out the door. I went back 3 days later in agony & still bleeding, was told it's fine take panadol. 6 days later I had to go get stronger pain killers & antibiotics from the Drs because of Dr John Teserik's lack of care. I've had teeth out before & never had any issues until I go to this practice. I guess I paid for what I got. Cheaper isn't always better. Don't go to Humpty Doo Dental. They only want your money.

I have been coming to this amazing little Dental Surgery since it opened many years ago. Both John and Yvonne are amazing dentists! They are also BUPA preferred as well!
Yvonne is now the dentist to my whole family! She is amazing with the kids and spends the extra time to explain things. I can not recommend her and this surgery enough.
