I was in severe pain, caused by a rear tooth, coupled with facial swelling. Having endured the weekend, I queued in the "No Appointment", line at 08:15, and was entered into their process, by 08:45. The initial dentist quickly established, my wisdom tooth, caused my problem, and took me for an x-ray. 20 minutes later, I was back in the dentist area, looking at my x-ray, which showed a decaying tooth with very curved roots. He carefully explained what this curved root system meant, including the potential "risks", if the roots, snapped off. He asked the opinion of a dental surgeon, colleague, and she offered to take over. After being injected with a numbing series of injection. 20 minutes later, the tooth was in a bowl, and she gave me a briefing on care procedures, and a script for antibiotics. 10:15, I was strolling home, via a pharmacy, with antibiotics, In hand. By Wednesday afternoon, my face had returned to a more normal look. I , also, discovered, at check-in, that it's a 7 day operation, if only I'd known!!

I needed urgent specialist Oral/Maxillofacial surgery during these trying Covid times and due to living 4 hours drive from Melbourne, the Video Telehealth Service was a lifeline for me. I was treated with dignity and care. The Telehealth Consultant even remembered my name from last time. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€ I would highly recommend the Telehealth Service. Yasha was patient, kind, understanding and professional all at once.

This team are amazing!!! I have never before seen such an efficient and patient dedicated team. Right from my first point of call through to triage to the clinician I was not made to wait lengthy times and was treated with courtesy respect and empathy and even given advise in relation to a non emergency self detected by the dentist upon video telehealth presentation. As I was not in pain at that point in time an appointment was made within 7 days and I was advised what I should do if the problem became unmanageable prior to my face to face appointment. Strongly recommend anyone with dental emergencies to look no further than this service. 5 โญโญโญโญโญ

I was in extreme pain and had called a couple of hospitals nearby, but without any prevail, I was left unattended and ashamed. I then called the dental Hospital in Melbourne and was redirected to a telehealth live chat. With that in mind, not only were i cared for, my needs were met and they were able to assist me straight away. I highly recommend anyone needing emergency treatment, please call them. They are so worth your time and money. Extremely satisfied.
