$90 just for a consultation with the dentist under ACC that is crazy and the worst part is you have to pay that yourself even though the accident happened at work, it wasn't my fault and is covered. I found Victoria Dentist they only charge $20 and their reviews are excellent, I don't understand why some places charge over 3 or more times for exactly the same consultation and X-Rays.

The staff here are so kind. I had lots of work done in a pretty short period of time and I am a very nervous patient. Legin & Taylor made me feel completely at ease and well looked after and the quality of care I received was excellent, I cannot recommend this place enough. Bonus shout out to lovely Monique who works on the desk and always managed to put me at ease before my appointments, a real life angel. Thank you all!

Always a pleasure encountering the team at Waikato Dental. They are always so professional and communicate every detail to you. As a patient, you couldn't ask for a better team. Dr Hyrum is also a one-of-a-kind dentist, it really shows within his work, and his team are always so accommodating and awesome to be around. 10/10 would recommend

I booked an appointment for my son over the phone. Noone mentioned cost of appointment over the phone so, I thought its free of cost for 12years old and on day of appointment receptionist mentioned its going to cost me $90 which I agreed to pay but when I came out to pay she said total is $220 for today. I questioned her that how come it turns from 90 to 220. She went to ask dentist he saud he did mention it during the teeth cleaning treatment but I didn't hear him saying it at anytime. I paid the full cost they put on me and left. On the way back home I asked my son if he heard him saying it and even he denied it. I felt like they are scaming people they are there just to make money not to serve the community in right way.

For most of us a visit to the dentist is not our favorite thing to do, but Waikato Dental has always been a pleasant experience, right from the happy welcome I receive from Monique at reception to the special care I enjoy from Joon my dentist and his amazing assistant. I happily recommend Waikato Dental to my friends and family, and to you out there looking for a dentist that supports your oral health.
