Current orthodontist has left. No replacement. Staff dont seem to care that son is in the middle of braces treatment. No explanation or help. A subsidised treatment should not be an excuse for poor patient care.

Staff at the front desk are horrendous. Look up unhelpful in the dictionary and you will find a photo of the staff sitting behind the front desk at Oral Health Centre. They be better off having a machine that you could check into your appointment with when you get there as well as a automated system that leaves messages for the appropriate dental student if you need to get hold of them by phone. Shame really as the dental student looking after us is actually really good and helpful.

I wrote the following 4 years ago but I have modify my view in that they are not well organised. They keep sending me Statements saying I have to pay in 14 days but I have already paid according to the schedule and when I ring and enquire about it they say I don't have to pay. I just ignore there paper statements apparently the computer spits out meaninless rubbish. Also they have settled on one dentist who has been doing a good job One of our sons has significant problems with his teeth. So we have been to the oral health centre many times. They are generally quite well organised parking is not too difficult and we don't usually have to wait too long for our appointment. My only criticism would be that they seem to change dentist frequently so each time you go you see a different person. I guess this is due to the way in which they are stuffed

Went here to have my braces, very unhappy with end result. Had TADs put in, was told I wonโ€™t feel a thing and they didnโ€™t even stop when I was screaming out in pain. Never got told anything about what was happening at my appts, can never get through to reception even though when Iโ€™m there, thereโ€™s like 5 people working. Once my braces were taken off, she smoothed my teeth down and then proceeded to put blobs of glue back on my teeth. Just pay the $6000, itโ€™s not worth going here just for discount
