Very professional but warm at the same time. Dr Cooper and Dr Davies were both easy to talk to and the nurses were lively and excellent. I was really well looked after.

I can’t recommend doctor Cooper and the team of Canberra Surgicentre highly enough! I contacted Surgicentre for the removal of an impacted wisdom tooth. I was able to get in quickly and the care and professionalism from the initial consult all the way to the after care is exceptional. On the day of the surgery everything went really smoothly and everything was explained very well. My concerns were taken seriously and dealt with accordingly. Again I highly recommend doctor Cooper and the team of Canberra Surgicentre!

My experience at the Canberra surgicenter with Dr Micheal cooper, and anaesthesiologist Dr Grant Devine was by far the most comforting medical/ dental experience I’ve had. I have an extremely needle phobia, and the whole team treated with me such respect and understanding. I was crying as I walked into my appointment out of fear, but the staff did everything they could to reassure me and make the experience as painless as possible. They gave me two Elma numbing patches as soon as I walked in the door, one on my hand and one on my elbow. The consultation with the nurses, Dr Cooper and Dr Devine were detailed and comforting, with all parties ensuring me that I was in safe hands. All the pre- op and past medical information was triple checked to ensure everything was set for the surgery. As I went into the theatre, I was shaking and crying. Dr Devine assured me that with in 1 minute of walking into the room I’d be asleep and it would be over, and he was right. From the numbing patch to his demeanour and technique of distracting me, the IV insertion was absolutely painless, I honestly had no idea he had even put in the IV, as the nurses and Dr’s continued talking to me until I fell peacefully asleep. Even with my very small mouth, Dr cooper was able to perform this procedure perfectly, and so far my recovery has been extremely smooth. I’ve had essentially no pain at all in my recovery and only some slight discomfort, which is to be expected. The post care instructions are clear and have helped so much with making me comfortable after the surgery. I cannot recommend the Canberra surgicenter highly enough and I’m so grateful to the entire team for how they treated me during my time there. They turned what for me is usually an extremely terrifying and traumatic experience, into something that will help me into the future with facing my fears and helped me to get the treatment I needed in a way that made me feel seen and comfortable.

My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed by Dr Cooper. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and very thorough. All details were triple checked and the post-surgery support and care instructions were awesome. Thank you to the team at Surgicentre

I had all four wisdom teeth extracted a week ago by Dr Cooper, it was a fantastic pre and post op experience with very little pain during recovery period due to meticulous work done during surgery. The level of care shown by Dr Cooper and his team to ensure my comfort before and after surgery (including the day after) was phenomenal and I am very grateful to have had the procedure done and no longer experiencing pain or discomfort. Big thank you to Dr Cooper and all the staff at Canberra Surgicentre, I would absolutely recommend this practice to anyone in need of maxillofacial procedures in Canberra.

EXPENSIVE! The whole cost is way too much for removing one wisdom tooth, $2270 in total($790 Surgeon+ $1280 hospital+ $200 Anaesthetist), while I go to another doctor dentist Integrated Dental in Canberra city which only costs me $600. And I only did local anaesthesia in Integrated Dental with a Chinese doctor and she finished operation in 30mins, while CanberraSurgicentre only gave a bigger and expensive plan of full general anaesthesia, which is a bigger job and not good for body and recovery. Integrated Dental doesn’t charge Hospital Accommodation Fee as well, while Canberra Surgicentre charges $1280 or $500 if you are lucky with 12 months Bupa. Canberra Surgicentre is making a lucrative and greedy business without so much skill. This is a very simple operation(removing tooth). In Shanghai it only costs $200 AUD, and a fair price should be less than $800 AUD in Australia in any case.

Really nice surgeons. But big on the money and not cheap If you don't have health insurance. The wisdom teeth surgery went really well. Hardly any swelling or pain.

I contacted the center a few days after my referral, and they informed me of a technical issue, promising to call me back. I ended up getting my tooth removed elsewhere, yet they still kept calling me afterward. It was an awful experience—definitely recommend looking for better options elsewhere.
Clinic response ():
Response from the owner a year agoDear Ramyar. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the service you received from Canberra Surgicentre. I would like to clarify that when you called this Monday, we had undergone a major computer upgrade over the weekend, and unfortunately on the Monday, this was not a simple technical error, but a major fault with the system, not allowing access to our Practice Management Software and Emails. I am aware that one of our staff took your call on Monday, and indicated that they would call you back, but as we were unable to open the system until Tuesday morning, attempts were made to call to you on the Tuesday, which were unanswered. We apologise for any inconvenience, but unfortunately the circumstances were beyond our control.

I had my wisdom teeth removed under the care of Dr Michael Cooper and his team yesterday. Every interaction I had was amazing. The staff were so caring and did everything in the power to make me feel comfortable and at ease with the situation. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly. Dr Michael Cooper and his team were amazing.
