I am a chicken when it comes to the dentists. I've has some bad experiences before. I had to make an urgent appointment for a toothache, so they made me one for the same day. Dr Pham is now my new dentist. It's taken years to find one that I feel comfortable with, and for that, I am truly thankful. Lovely caring staff.

I am dental phobic and it has easily been 15 years or more since I have been. Terrified, I made an appointment to see to a tooth that was giving me grief. What an absolute joy dare I say to have a completely pain free experience ...a filling and a complete teeth clean which was extensive.....with no judgement or condemnation, just compassion and a very gentle touch. Both Dr Amy and Dr Hatami were great and i am so pleased to finally find a dentist who is so lovely in Dr Amy. Also a big thank you to Carmen who was so gentle and so encouraging through my big clean and Emily who help me through the filling (didnt feel a thing). I was so comfortable I have made an appointment in 6 months to have my teeth cleaned and checked again. Look at me being an adult!!!!Thanks guys - from the reception staff to the tooth fairies, you are all so friendly and thoughtful..it was so appreciated.Sue 🙂
