I was surprised how nice the staff are. They’re very professional and very organised. I went for a tooth replacment and Dr Suresh made me feel so comfortable. He talks you through it like you’re a child to makes you comfortable and trusting.

The staff was very attentive and accommodating. I originally went in for a whitening, but Dr. Navatha suggested that my bite needed to be addressed before anything else. She took her time explaining why and I agreed. It turned out to be the best decision ever. Thank you Dr Navatha
