Cannot rate Island Dental highly enough I saw Dr Claudia Lim she could not have been nicer and more professional, she was so gentle and caring and understanding. I don’t like going to the dentist and I am on holidays and the lovely girls at the front desk got me in no dramas. I would love this to be my regular dentist Dr Lim is amazing and so so kind. She kept checking I was ok the whole time and did an amazing job. 10/10.

Honestly had such a good experience at Island Dental in Hobart! The staff are all so lovely and actually take the time to listen to you, which I feel like is kinda rare now. The reception girls were so sweet and welcoming, they made me feel comfortable straight away. You can tell they actually care, not just rushing you in and out. Dr Vismita Shrivastava (Dr Vis for short) was amazing super gentle, explained everything really well, and just made the whole experience so much easier. Definitely a 10/10. I’d 100% recommend Island Dental (Dr Vis), and everyone there is just so so nice professional and clean!!!!
