This comment is about the customer service, rather than the actual dental treatment itself (which I can't testify to because we didn't get that far). My wife had an appointment this morning at 8:30am. My wife rang at 8:25am as a courtesy to advise that she was running 5 minutes late due to underestimating the journey time (she broke her foot last week and is still coming to terms with the timeframes for travelling on crutches from Central train station to her place of work and other local services). She included this information in her courtesy call, and was advised in an infriendly tone that due to her being late, her session would need to be rescheduled. The dental clinic was quite quick to point out that they are very, very busy, and are unable to facilitate little hiccups in their timeframes. We appreciate that prompt arrivals are preferred (being business owners ourselves), but surely exceptions can be made in these sorts of circumstances, particularly given the effort and time it took my wife to get close by in the first place? Indeed, my wife did the right thing in ringing ahead. Anyway, just thought this information deserved to be published in case anybody else was considering using a CBD dental clinic with some customer service and compassion.

Response from the owner 11 years agoWe are sorry to hear you feel that way about your experience with us. Understanding that sometimes things happen that we have no control over such as traffic jams and public transport delays, we give a leniency when it comes to being exactly on time. Our policy is that we call patients if they are more than 5 minutes late to an appointment, simply to see if they are on their way and still attending their appointment. If the patient is nearly at the practice we are more than happy to facilitate the little hiccup in time, but if a patient is running very late (will arrive 15 minutes late or more for a 30 minute appointment) it is best to reschedule the appointment so we have enough time to give the proper care and attention that patient needs. We appreciate patients calling us themselves to tell us that they will be late to their appointment but it is also very unfair to all the patients with appointments booked in after a patient who is running late. All new patients are politely reminded to come at least 10 minutes before their appointment to fill out a medical history form so we have all the information to comprehensively treat the patient and we endeavour to ring patients if for some unforeseen reason we are running over time ourselves. As can be understood, there are some exceptional circumstances such as a patient with a dental emergency like a severe toothache that needs immediate treatment that may cause small disruptions in appointment times.

A massive shout of to my Dentist VINCENT, the dental assistant KAYLA and the lovely, helpful and professional receptionist, ASH. There was space outside for me to park my LARGE mobility scooter, ASH said I could park it where they could keep their eyes on it ~ which I VERY much appreciated. VINCENT is a wonderful combination of professional, thorough and sensitive and if you have any mental, psychical or sensory needs VINCENT will talk you through EVERYTHING that is happening, before it happens, and put you right at the ease. The office is accessible (to the front door) with a small ramp, clean, with adequate seating, quiet and the decor is AWESOME, it is covered in lovely pictures of VINCENT and his family, toys and if you love Star Wars, I highly recommend attending this dentist! Thank-you for ALL your efforts! They is also on GROUPON for an BEYOND excellent price for the services you receive and they continue to offer a substantial discount for returning clients. At the end of the appointment, VINCENT will send you off with a FULL dental goody bag and go through everything he has found and his recommendations, clear and under no pressure to do anything you are not comfortable with. It was the best experience at a dental appointment I have ever had and, I WILL be back! An office full of legends, go and give them a visit! ☺️

This was the worst dental examination that I have experienced so far in my life. From the beginning there was a pattern of incompetence and lack of professionalism. The front desk staff had given the incorrect address which led to me arriving 30 minutes late as I had already arrived at the incorrect address that was provided in the email. Upon arrival I was greeted with subtle insinuations that I was being untruthful until I showed the emails. The dentist herself then mentioned that due to being late I would have to come back another day to complete the other half of the treatment. No apologies were made which speaks to the character of these two staff members. The dentist then proceeded to do a rushed and genuinely subpar cleaning and scaling of my teeth and due to her haphazard approach I was left with severe damage to my gums and tooth enamel which I am still dealing with these effects over a week later. She also did not provide the full treatment that I had already paid for prior to arrival. It was only a clean, scale and polish with fluoride application which is very basic. The dentist even insisted that I had received prior fillings to two of my teeth which I assured her could not be true as I have never had a cavity and have only ever had clean, scale and polish treatments in my life. This behaviour is not normal and I have never been met with such an unprofessional approach from a healthcare provider. The treatment room itself was so disheveled and ill equipped that I genuinely do not believe that they are operating to meet the industry standards. I have never seen such a dilapidated treatment room and I should have trusted my instincts and not continued with the treatment. The overall experience was reminiscent of something that you would expect to occur in a third world country. I must say that I take no pleasure in writing this as it is the only time I have left a review but I strongly feel that the general public should be aware of this experience. Please think twice before making an appointment with these people, it is not worth the risk to your oral health.

Response from the owner a year agoThank you for sharing your feedback, Cade. We sincerely apologise for the negative experience you’ve described. Your concerns about the front desk error, the treatment, and the overall care provided are deeply concerning to us, and we take them very seriously so we've taken the time to thoroughly investigate. We understand the frustration of being misinformed about the address due to a typo in our receptionist's email to you, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience this caused. However, the email was also signed off with the correct address. The Groupon which you used for the appointment also clearly shows the practice address and has a map of our location.  Upon your arrival, which was 30 minutes late to a 1 hour appointment, we informed you that we may only be able to complete the examination and x-rays, with the rest of the treatment possibly needing to be rescheduled to ensure we could give you the thorough care you deserve without rushing. All new patients are politely reminded to arrive at least 10 minutes before their appointment to fill out a new patient form so we have all the necessary information to treat them comprehensively. Despite these time constraints and your claim otherwise, we still managed to provide every treatment included in the Groupon (a full examination, x-rays, cleaning, prophylaxis, and fluoride treatment) at the same appointment by using up our lunchtime for you. Regarding your dental history, we attempted to clarify that the areas we discussed were “fissure sealants,” not fillings. We also tried to show these areas to you in the mirror to ensure you understood. We apologise if there was any confusion during this exchange, as we strive to make sure our patients are well-informed about their oral condition. We also discussed that, due to the poor condition of your oral health, the cleaning might cause some discomfort, which is why we provided post-operative instructions explaining that tenderness and tooth sensitivity could occur. We hope you’ve been following those instructions to minimise any discomfort, and we’re sorry to hear that you’ve experienced ongoing sensitivity.  However, it had only been 4 days after your appointment at the time of your review not more than 1 week as you claim, and teeth and gums need more time to heal, generally 2 weeks. While we acknowledge your concerns about the appearance of our practice, it is located in an old heritage-listed building with little we can do with the appearance. We want to assure you that we adhere strictly to Australian Dental Association standards. All of our equipment and facilities are regularly checked and maintained to ensure we meet or exceed regulatory guidelines. We would appreciate the opportunity to address your experience more personally rather than through a review platform. Please feel free to reach out to us to discuss further or to arrange a follow-up appointment.

I just left, and they treated me terribly. I booked through Groupon for a cleaning and a filling three weeks in advance. I spoke to the receptionist three times before the appointment. Today, I arrived, and she told me I couldn’t use Groupon more than once (I used it last year), that I should contact Groupon for a refund, and that if I wanted the appointment, I’d have to pay $99. She was very rude, snatched the form out of my hand, and was sitting on a chair with no willingness to help at all, saying there was nothing she could do. I’ve been told this has happened to many other customers as well. I told them that if it’s not the first time, they should find a solution to avoid wasting people’s time and money. Terrible reception management. ANSWER: If you are insinuating that I provided false information, please withdraw that accusation, as it says a lot about your organization. If you lack the ability to properly take down a phone number—considering I believe I did not invent my name and surname, which should appear in your system—that is not my problem. The receptionist lacks professionalism, and at no point was I offered cleaning, X-rays, and a filling for $99—only cleaning at that price. Another receptionist mentioned that this issue tends to happen often. I encourage you to find a solution and stop wasting people’s time and money. Kind regards.

Response from the owner a year agoHi Sofia, we are sorry you feel this way. However, you were told at your first appointment that you could only use this Groupon once as it is for new patients. We verbally told you the cost of returning for a checkup and teeth cleaning and fillings and provided you with a printed treatment plan with quoted prices. The Groupon terms and conditions also state clearly it is for new patients only. You were obviously happy with us because you wanted to come back. You booked this appointment under different contact details. When you came in and filled out our new patient form, our system detected you had been to see us before. Our receptionist explained again you are not eligible for the Groupon, but offered you the discounted $99 deal instead (normally $234). This does not happen often, but there are always people who try to cheat the system, waste our time and prevent others getting looked after in that appointment time.
