😠 Worst dentist I've ever been too. I told them over the phone what needed to be done, they told me it would be fine and I proceeded to go in. Once I was in I was told that nothing could be done unless I agreed to spend $1000 on a 'detailed check up', they didn't even look at my teeth. I was there for...

  • 5/5 Jacob G. 3 years ago on Google
    Very grateful to the team here. Struggled through a work day in a lot of pain, from what I suspected was a wisdom tooth infection. Tried booking into multiple GP’s to try to get a script of antibiotics, all booked out, so I called my dentist. They had me in the chair within an hour, turned out the infection was worse than anticipated so they numbed me up there and then and took out the tooth - Wisdom teeth removal was something I’d been putting off for a long time as the thought of it made me extremely anxious. All that anxiety went away quickly Thanks to the staff from front desk to surgery and considering the nature of the procedure it was a really positive experience and I’m now on a script to treat the infection. 10/10 would recommend.

    Fantastic clinic, helpful & patient staff that go above and beyond. Thank you Dr Ivy for your thorough explanation regarding my treatment and future visits with a detailed estimate so I can ‘budget’. Gentle dentist with perfect people skills which makes a trip to the dentist so much more bearable. As much as we loath dentist visits I do look forward to my future visits and getting my teeth back to their best.😁 Merry Christmas🎄and have a happy & safe New Year. 🎉 see you in 2022👍🏻

    Worst dentist I've ever been too. I told them over the phone what needed to be done, they told me it would be fine and I proceeded to go in. Once I was in I was told that nothing could be done unless I agreed to spend $1000 on a 'detailed check up', they didn't even look at my teeth. I was there for a total of 10 seconds, and then they proceeded to charge me $50. Spend your money elsewhere.

    Walked in with a tooth ache and they were able to get me in nearly straight away which was awesome..So professional and friendly all round.Thank you to you all, you should be very proud of your establishment. 😁.I'm not really a nervous patient at dentists, this tooth was a challenge but they made me feel very comfortable and relaxed.

    Ivy is a great dentist. I’m no longer worry about going. She is great with the kids and looks after our whole family. Receptionist is always friendly. Positive experience every time.

  • 5/5 Emma B. 10 months ago on Google
    Great service and the staff are always friendly. Dr Alex was great with my 3 year old who had never seen a dentist before.

  • 5/5 Bronte B. 1 year ago on Google
    I initially chose this dentist as it was supported by Medibank private health. The staff are all lovely and professional. I enjoy my visits to this dentist as Dr Chris is always positive and never makes me feel guilty about my teeth hygiene (as other dentists tend to).

  • 5/5 Lori C. 11 months ago on Google
    Receptionist made feel welcome, assisted me with my next appointments. Dr Jenny and the nurse were seamless. Dr Jenny was informative, factual, and professional. I greatly appreciate the team.

  • 5/5 Scott H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very welcoming and friendly from all staff. Dentist took time to explain things and make sure I understood all processes and options. Highly recommend the clinic

  • 5/5 Laura B. 1 year ago on Google
    I saw Jenny and considering I’m normally nervous at the dentist, she made me so comfortable. Was able to do my check up and clean and was also able to assist with a recommendation and quote for aligners etc. booked in to go back as my regular dentist

  • 5/5 Corrine N. 11 months ago on Google
    Very happy with the service received. Going to the dentist is never anyone’s favourite thing, but they very helpful and professional.

  • 5/5 Merve H. 8 months ago on Google
    Such a lovely crew from reception to the dentists themselves. Bernice is an amazing dentist who truly cares for her patients. Happy customer for several years now. Keep up the amazing work guys! 😊😊

  • 5/5 Brenda P. 9 months ago on Google
    I'm needing lots of dental work at the moment. Always efficient, polite, friendly and gentle. Jen is very caring and explains everything she's doing. The nurses are great, don't even drown you with their effective suctioning! I have recommended this clinic to friends and family.

  • 5/5 Cheryl S. 1 year ago on Google
    This clinic is friendly, professional and reasonably priced. The staff put you at ease and discuss every aspect of your visit. My husband and I visit regularly and are very happy.

  • 5/5 Robyn A. 9 months ago on Google
    Very caring, gentle & thorough with outstanding customer service. I asked for some quotes for further work which I got, and they even scanned my private health insurance so I knew exactly what my out-of-pocket costs would be for my upcoming appointments & quotes!

  • 5/5 Melissa M. 7 months ago on Google
    Jenny Lei is amazing she has made me feel comfortable from the get go. Considering I am afraid of dentists she put me at ease almost instantly. When we started the consult she was extremely thorough and her confidence and professionalism made me confident I’d picked the right person and my fear subsided. I have returned and seen her again and the options she has given me to repair my teeth that have not been very well looked after was amazing. Again thorough, informative and confident. This is the third dentist my husband and I have visited and she is the one we will be using for all of our dentistry Thank you

  • 5/5 Xyrx Q. 7 months ago on Google
    HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Not a huge fan of dentists would do anything to avoid them. But the people that work here are absolutely amazing, they are professional, friendly and straight to the point. They are very clear when providing you with your options along with their professional opinion on the outcomes of your options. The establishment itself is very clean and easy to get to. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

  • 5/5 Leanne G. 5 months ago on Google
    Highly recommended: Dr Ivy Nguyen is the most competent and gentle dentist I have met. I have a combination of issues which make dental treatment difficult; Dr Ivy has come up with workarounds for all of them in the years I have been her patient and I trust her fully.

  • 5/5 Jackiie K. 5 months ago on Google
    After having THE WORST experiences with dentists, I avoid going at all costs. That is until I was in excruciating pain and I needed help. I had so much work that needed to be done. From the moment I made the appointment to the check ups years on, I have found their dentistry second to none! I now drive over an hour to attend this clinic. Dr Alex, the dental nurses and reception staff are beyond amazing! My whole family attend this practice and we would recommend them until we’re blue in the face😁

  • 5/5 Liam M. 7 months ago on Google
    All the staff are always friendly, helpful and professional. Special mention to Dr Ivy who is a great dentist and explains everything she’s doing and how you can improve what you need to at home.

  • 5/5 Brenton J. 4 months ago on Google
    Great practice, very thorough and easy going. Not as expensive as some other places I have been to as well. Will definitely be back 😊

  • 5/5 Elisha W. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend this dental clinic! The dentist ( Dr.Ivy ) did a fantastic job at pulling my tooth out. I was extremely nervous prior to my appointment. Dr. Ivy was very professional and gentle and guided me through the whole procedure, reassuring me and making sure I was ok. I will definitely be coming back to this dentist next time! The staff there are all lovely as well. Thanks again Carrum Downs family dental 😊

    Just want to say these guys are the best and the nicest people you can meet a big 👍

  • 5/5 Jarrod B. 3 years ago on Google
    What a wonderful dentist for children! Our son needed a filling and cap on a molar. Required grinding the tooth to fit the cap. Steph (the dentist) was lovely, a perfect disposition and demeanor for children who might be nervous or anxious. Could not recommend highly enough. My son has zero stress now about the dentist. He is now on a good footing for future visits to the dentist (something not many adults have).

  • 4/5 Jenni D. 4 years ago on Google
    Great family dentist's who are caring and helpful, understanding and very friendly and accomodating. Gave 4 stars when they are really 5 stars only because everyone has room to better their business. The staff make this business as they are all excellent at what they do and explain everything along the way. My kids love the dentist all because the staff are so caring. Costs are on par with any dentist but also very reasonable. We are a family of 6 and all go here. If your looking for a great dentistry experience please try them, they won't disappoint.

  • 5/5 Jayne S. 3 years ago on Google
    I can honestly say that they are the kindest most caring dentists I have ever visited. Dr Shreyas Suryanarayana and Dr Ankur Kothari are lovely. They both made me feel at ease. The dental nurses and receptionist are also very friendly. I can highly recommend this dental practice 👍👍👍

  • 5/5 Chitrani P. 4 years ago on Google
    I am an extremely nervous patient but the dentists at Carrum Downs Family Dental have been wonderful and made me feel at ease. I really appreciate that they take the time to fully consult with you and also let you know what is happening during the procedure! The dentistry is top class too.

  • 5/5 chelsea p. 1 year ago on Google
    These guys are the kindest, most understanding and highly skilled dentist. They take such good care of me and especially patient with kiddies needing a little more support. 10/10 would recommend 👌

  • 5/5 Jodie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Everyone there is lovely and after going here for a second opinion (another quote) they were much more affordable than other local places. Also took my almost 4 year old there and they were amazing with her for her check up

    I have had nothing but positive experiences when attending Carrum Downs Family Dental. Everybody that works there is so warm, welcoming and professional. They are non-judgemental and are understanding that life sometimes can get in the way of maintaining optimal oral health. Treatments are also affordable. Highly recommend Carrum Downs Family Dental 🙂

😐 After visiting Dr. Lisa, I realized how unpleasant my previous experience with Dr. Thomas Qin was. He was significantly late and rushed through the appointment, treating my oral and dental issues in a very rough manner, causing me a lot of discomfort. I won't be seeing Dr. Thomas Qin again.
