Waterloo Dental: Reviews
Negative experience: Honestly can't have a worse dental experience, absolutely traumatizing. Firstly, almost every appointment in the afternoon is 20mins - 1 hour wait. I have waited an hour before for an appointment that lasted 20 mins, this shows little respect for people's time. Secondly, there was no clear treatment plan or cost transparency. I started a root canal here, and after spending AUD1900+ one canal could not be located and Dr Mena decided I need to see a specialist - which is not uncommon. Afterwards, I consulted different dentist as well as endodontist whom all questioned whether such an invasive procedure as root canal is even needed. But that's fine, different dentist can have different opinions and take. The most frustrating part is how I was being treated there. All request for X-ray copies, invoices and referrals take at least 2 weeks+ and constant chasing on phone calls to get. During appointment, when i describe my pain, Dr Mena would use words like "don't overthink" , "you are getting ahead of yourself", "don't make assumptions", dismissive of patient's conditions and feelings. Constant sighing during procedure, indicating a clear lack of professionism. Not to mention I emailed to ask for my deposit back and still heard nothing from the clinic. This experience completely traumatized me and I hope no one else should have to go through that.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to a few different dentist now in my life times but Molly got to be one of the most friendly and caring dentist I ever met. She takes care of my concerns and care for my teeth well-being. I only seen her twice now.
Fantastic experience: The most amazing dentist! Best I have found! Great service and such a lovely team. I moved out of Waterloo but still return for my check ups and wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Dr Mena and his team are amazing. They put me at ease straight away. Cannot fault their service - highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: After 19 years with the same dentist who decide to suddenly retire, I was in need of a new one. I didn’t relish the search, but I decided to try Waterloo Dental. What a great decision this was. From the warm welcome of the reception staff to the professionalism, friendliness and exceptional dentistry of Dr Mena Shehata. I had 3 crowns fitted over a few weeks. The equipment used was of the very highest quality and the workmanship was first class. To add a cherry on the (sugar free) cake, the team at Waterloo Dental are the nicest bunch! I left there with a smile on my face each time and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. HIGHLY recommended.
Fantastic experience: Amazing dentist!
Fantastic experience: Probably sounds odd to say about a dentist visit, though it’s always a pleasure going to Waterloo dental. Mena is Extremely professional, personable, with state of the art equipment. The entire team are excellent and would highly recommend, as I do regularly to friends.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best dentist I have been to so far. Dr Mena is absolutely professional and great with patients that are anxious or scared of dentists (like myself). He’s calm and friendly while explaining everything and just makes sure you get the best treatment possible.
Fantastic experience: Finally I have found an excellent dentist after 10 years of bad dental service from Bupa Members First Ultimate dental. I highly recommend Dr Mena Shehata- thank you:)
Fantastic experience: I've been to many dentists in my life, and I found Waterloo Dental being the best place for me. I've been going there for years without leaving a review, but now I really have to leave one! Because it's always a good experience! The staff is always friendly and polite and Dr.Mena is an expert and dedicated dentist with great attention to details, able to give friendly and professional advice at every visit, helping maintaining my health and smile at their best. The studio is also always clean, well maintained and equipped with cuttings-edge tech to optimize every job. It wasn't easy for me to find a trustworthy dentist, until I found this place!
Fantastic experience: Excellent practice. Lovely, competent staff & Dr Mena is exceptional. Came here for a second opinion after years of neglecting my oral health due to a busy job. Dr Mena takes the time to explain things very clearly and I have the utmost confidence in his work.
Fantastic experience: Great and easy dentist to deal with. Fit me in at very short notice. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Mena, Alice, and the team were incredibly professional. Mina took the time to explain everything thoroughly and ensured I felt comfortable. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr Mena for 5+ years and I can’t believe I haven’t left a review yet. Dr Mena and his team go above and beyond in every way with utmost care and professionalism. Dr Mena has an incredible eye for detail and my teeth have never looked better. Thanks Dr Mena and team!!
Fantastic experience: Today I visited for the first time , I’ve a a big fear all my life from a bad experience of root canal when I was young, well today was the best dentist experience of my life , they were so calm and comforting and helped me every step of the way through a root canal, Dr Mena is very caring and has a very calm nature , and guided me right through this process , I can’t thank him enough, I really look forward to visiting again . Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
Fantastic experience: I called Waterloo dental needing an urgent repair to my front tooth denture. I was seen quickly and the issue was resolved the next morning. I didn’t have to walk around with a front tooth missing for any significant amount of time and this meant so much to me. From the first time I met the team, I was treated politely and with dignity and respect. Dr Mena responded compassionately to my issue, he made me feel at ease and gave me endless amounts of reassurance. At the time, I really needed it. There is a shared passion for improving the smiles of their customers which is displayed through the technology that is at hand within the practice. I have since had a full smile makeover. I have gone from wearing dentures every day to wearing what feels to me, to be a very natural looking, million dollar smile. I had such a challenging case. Years of not caring for my teeth as an adolescent, plus multiple injuries, meant I had many missing teeth and a mouth full of fillings. Dr Mena and his team worked so hard to give me the smile I have always deserved. It’s impossible to put into words how grateful I am. Impossible to describe the feeling I get every morning when I look at my smile in the mirror. My life has been drastically changed for the better. I have spent a lot of time in that dentist chair over the past few months and every single time I was made to feel as comfortable as possible. I knew I was in safe hands and I trust Dr Mena implicitly. I write all this in the hope that it my genuine appreciation comes across and that anyone who is looking for the right dentist knows to look no further. This review could not entirely represent the skill and dedication I have witnessed in recent months. I’ve now got a better smile than I could have ever imagined and it’s all thanks to Dr Mena and the team at Waterloo Dental.
Fantastic experience: Very competent advice. The doctor took time to consult thoroughly. He is very knowledgable and patient. The clinic is very modern and clean. I can highly recommend it.
Negative experience: Disappointed by the lack of treatment plan or communication from the clinicians about the work required, the priorities/urgency, or the pricing related to the work.
Hi Rhett, we're disappointed to hear you are not totally satisfied with the care you've received from our clinicians. We pride ourselves on communication, transparency and clinical excellence. I can assure you, your care was of the highest quality. If you'd like to actually discuss these concerns please feel to reach out.
Fantastic experience: It's always a lovely, clean and caring environment. All the staff members are super friendly, kind and attentive. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for my regular check up for the past 5 years or more. It’s been seriously so long that I don’t remember exact. Dr Mena been so welcoming and knowledgeable every visit. Really enjoy the convenience and home like vibe.
Fantastic experience: The best dental practice I’ve been to in Sydney. Dr Mena is a warm and a patient man who explains my procedures in detail to me. Shows me photos etc and discuss what’s best for me. He does what’s need to be done and nothing extra. I’ve got really bad anxiety going to the dentist but with him, I feel at ease. He constantly checks if I’m doing alright. He has also been superb with my kids. Really good with easing them into the chair and gives them a fun experience at the dentist. Courtney has also been great! Services with a smile and is great with follow up calls, appointments. Also, the whole ambiance is just amazing. I get to relax on a massage chair before my appointments and to admire the beautiful fishes in the tanks! Highly recommended! My family loves going there!
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience, never thought I would I say I genuinely enjoyed my dentist appointment and want to go back! Thank you to the very friendly and professional team for providing excellent service. Courtney, Marli and Dr Mena! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
Fantastic experience: Thr doctor and his staff are very friendly and very professional in a way that made it easy for me to have a good feeling that ill will be in a good hands , Also I was impressed by the set up of the reception and the dintist room the whole Clinic has a very relaxing and elegant atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Mena and all the staff are amazing and always make you feel comfortable.
Negative experience: The dentist was extremely rude and arrogant. Staff was unprofessional. And they will have you wait 30 mins regardless of your appointment time. Just overall a terrible experience.
This is clearly a false review. Such online negativity can be so harmful. My staff and I treat all people with care and respect.
Fantastic experience: Mena takes great pride in his work and the results speak for themselves. He’s even got a nemo and dory in his fish tank in the waiting area!
Thank you Levi!
Fantastic experience: Waterloo dental is exceptional. Staff are absolutely lovely. You know you are in good hands with Dr Mena, he is a wonderful dentist and explains your procedure clearly. This is a practice that generally care and love what they do. Michelle from Collaroy
Thank you Michelle!
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff. Professional and decorated clinic. Plus most importantly the dental care was of the highest standard. I recomend Waterloo Dental to any one who needs this type of care. Many thanks....
Thank you Sherif!
Negative experience: I’m standing outside for an 8:00 am appointment for my daughter and no one is here. I received a confirmation text etc. There’s seemingly no receptionist, dentist or hygienist on a Wednesday morning. Terrible experience. My 3 year old was so excited to go to the dentist…
Fantastic experience: Thank you for fitting us in & for the excellent service Dr meena
Thank you Tanya!
Fantastic experience: Excellence in every aspect...as a new 'not so brave dental patient' the professional skill given me.. totally admired...so grateful and appreciative of the professional and administrative staff..thank you
Thank you Elizabeth!
Fantastic experience: I've used Waterloo Dental for years! Mena is a great doctor; the service is wonderful. They look after you and always do the best for the patient.
Thanks Mike!
Fantastic experience: Went in for my 3yo son’s first dentist appointment and had a great service from everyone. Dr was very gentle and friendly with him which made every step run super easy and with no fuss. Very impressed!
Thank you Priscila!
Negative experience: Came here at 9:30am on a Wednesday, within their opening hours, but were shut. Called the number on the door & I rang out to answering machine. Not worth the trip here ♂️
Fantastic experience: This is a great practice! I've been coming here for a couple of years and satisfied with the experiences. Dr Mena explains things well and gives you all the details for the patient to make an informed decision. The clinic is modern and professional. The receptionist Courtney is also fantastic and patiently explains the invoice and health insurance items. If there's any delays to the appointment they text you ahead of time, usually there is very little waiting period upon arrival.
Thank you Mansoor! I hope your well!
Negative experience: The first time i came in they had me waited for more than 40 mins,i was really upset but i understand how hard it is to run a business so said it to myself maybe this is a accident. However this is the second time i came in,guess what,waited more than 40 mins. To be fair the receptionist is not welcoming at all,the the dentist Mr Mena seems to think there is no problem and the customers have all the time in the world and should wait forever. I hope he understands that everyone treats their work srsly not just him,and there should not be any excuses getting customer to wait for nearly one hour. My appointment was at 7 and i came in 6:50 btw. I always show up early because i value and respect other people's time.
Fantastic experience: Great Dentist - went there for a checkup nearly two years ago and I've been going back to Mena ever since. Super friendly - Highly recommend.
Thanks Hayden! Amazing human being!
Fantastic experience: I have never met a Dentist as good as Mena! He is professional, honest and upfront. Thank you so much Mena, I would not recommend a better dentist to anyone.
Thank you Paris.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this place. I booked an appointment for a check-up/ cleaning. Dr Thatiana Salomao and her staff were outstanding. Friendly, polite and efficient, definitely coming back again.
Fantastic experience: Dr Mena and his staff always go above and beyond. Great communication, caring, and professional. Prices are reasonable and are clearly communicated. They work with almost every major insurance company which really helps. Dr Mena is specifically great and patient with kids. Highly recommended.
Thank you Meead! Always a pleasure caring for you!
Fantastic experience: I am a reluctant visitor to the dentist. So when I came to the realisation one of my teeth was going to be pulled out. I was not feeling great. I Recommend Mena. He helped when I was nervous and did a great job. No pain and chewing sourdough in 10 days.
The Best!
Fantastic experience: Best dentist iv ever had. Great service !
Thanks Rhys!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Waterloo dental since it’s inception. Dr Mena has hand held my children and I throughout the years with everything from wonderful cleans, fillings and teeth whitening to root canal. Dr Mena and his staff are experienced and show real care for their clients - through their gentle approach and post appointment continued care. I highly recommend Waterloo Dentist for adults and even more so for kids.
Fantastic experience: I needed an emergency appointment to treat dry socket. I was so nervous due to the excruciating pain but Dr Mena was so gentle & lovely. His assistant & receptionist were also lovely. For anyone apprehensive about visiting a dentist, I highly recommend Dr Mena.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Dr Mena and Waterloo Dental.
Hope you're feeling better!
Fantastic experience: Dr Mena is just amazing. He knows how to talk to a 3 year-old getting him to laugh & cooperate for the full dental check-up. He is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. Today was my son's very first dental appointment & Dr Mena made it so memorable. My son loves to meet him again soon haha. Thank you so much Dr Mena.
Thank you Sanaz! It was my absolute pleasure and a fun filled trip to the dentist!
Fantastic experience: Got a general cleam and x-ray. The process was smooth and Dr Mena explained things well. The massage waiting chair was a nice touch.
Fantastic experience: Mena is a gentleman of a bloke - knows his profession right down to the core and explains very well what he has carried out and takes very good pride in his work. Can’t have a bad thing to say about the place! Highly recommended
Mate I hope you and your loved ones are well!
Fantastic experience: I do not like going to the dentist for any reason. Generally going to the dentist is an anxiety inducing event that drains my wallet and leaves me emotionally wrecked. That being said, Dr Shehata is a proper master of his craft. He does an exceptional job at explaining your dental health and answering the questions that spring from that. Dr. Shehata replaced a filling for me today. The process was quick and painless. In showing me the after pictures, I would have never guessed that any work had been done to the tooth in question. The contours of the filling blended in seamlessly with the rest of the structure of the tooth. Additionally, the team that supports Dr. Shehata is top notch. They are friendly, professional and efficient. I am so relieved that I've found the group of professionals at Waterloo Dental to ensure my teeth last me the rest of my life.
Fantastic experience: Dr Mena is one of the most professional dentists I have come across. Being able to solve all my Dental issues. Would highly recommend Dr Mena and his team
Negative experience: Be carefull! I cannot recommend Doctor Mena, because he do jobs in your mouth without asking if you are agree and without inform you the cost of that treatment, I found that he do this, to try to take out more money from your insurance and in the end you will need to pay more out of pocket. I went there for an implant and I asked him how much was the total cost including everything becuase my insurance just cover around $500 and I need to pay a lot of money out of pocket so he knows that my priority was paying the implant, becuse I said it to him. One day he just told me "today we are going to do a clean" without informed me that It wasn't incluided in the total cost of the implant and in the end when I paid the total amount he charge me extra the cleaning around $350 more and he mentioned to me that I was calling and I asked for this treatment and it wasn't true....it is why I said be carefull.. he lies in your face. Also, after this disappointed moment I never get back there and I need to find another place to Finnish my implant and I went to 2 different places, and in both places they advised me that I need more bond around the implant becuase I will lost the implant easily and is why I have very big hold between implant and gum and every time that I eat many food get stock there. The anothers doctors advised that It has to be done from the beginning and Doctor Mina do my implant without advise me about this. This makes me very disappointed with this service. Now I need to find someone to do the bond for me to solve this issue and I have to pay more money.
Hi Tatiana. Unfortunately this is not quite the case. Your Dental Implant was NOT placed at Waterloo Dental or by Dr Mena. The implant restoration was completed to a very high standard using only quality Australian labs and materials. To ensure our uncompromising quality, a few appointments over a month or so were necessary. All costs were discussed and agreed to prior to the commencement of treatment.
You scheduled a hygiene appointment with us totally unrelated to your implant restoration in the midst of this. As you have been a patient of the practice for some time you are aware of the fees associated with our hygiene appointments.
Unfortunately when your implant restoration was completed and the balance of treatment was due, you raised these concerns and became quite distressed in the practice. Seeing this Dr Mena waived the remaining balance, and you left. It was always your choice wether to return or not.
This review thus comes as a bit of a surprise some months after your treatment has been completed.
You are welcome to call and discuss and see if we can assist you any further.
Fantastic experience: Dr Shehata and his team at Waterloo Dental are excellent. His knowledge, professionalism and overall care is probably the best I've had from any practitioner. The x-ray, screen and clean was thorough and done with no pain. The double wisdom teeth removal was exceptional (fast, very minimal discomfort, and each tooth removed in whole in a swoop without the yanking about). His deep understanding of dental science also allowed me as a patient to make informed decisions about my oral health and cosmetics. I recommend this practice if you're after a new dental clinic.
Negative experience: 30min wait. $320 to repair chipped tooth. Lasted two weeks.
Fantastic experience: Just had a new patient cleaning/checkup, great experience. All of the staff were friendly and professional. The practice looked spotless. Dr. Mena answered all of my questions thuroughly and took the time to get to know what was important to me. He seemed very knowledgeable and skilled. I'll be switching my whole family to his practice. It's nice to know that I have my oral health sorted and in good hands. -Had another cleaning done, as well as a splint made for night grinding. All great experiences. Still highly recomend this dentist. I won't go anywhere else.
Negative experience: My review clearly does not represent the standards this clinic offers based on the reviews left here, however I need to share my experience, particularly for Dr Mena so there is no repeat of what I experienced. I’m relatively new to the Waterloo area, and after considerable research online I decided to visit Waterloo dental to be my future go to dental clinic. My appointment was at 8:15am. I waited in the waiting area for 30mins, with no communication. I was taken in to be seen by Dr Mena at 8:45am. No apology received regarding the 30min delay. I would have appreciated to be notified early, or during the time I was waiting so that I can do other things in the meantime. I was there for a checkup and clean, the entire process felt rushed, with the assistant having to leave halfway to answer phone calls. I don’t doubt the quality of Dr Mena’s work, however i would have thought more effort would be invested in the initial visit given I was a new patient. I then sat down with Dr Mena to sort out the invoice at which I expressed my negative experience. I appreciated the fact Dr Mena listened and acknowledged what happened, which was due to them being short staffed. At that point, I had decided I would make an appointment for a second visit and understood this may have been an odd case. I asked Dr Mena how much the service was (check-up, clean & X-ray) and he said $250, the same amount I was quoted at the time I booked the appointment, which was ok by me. I then checked my health fund account while sitting down and noticed $425 was claimed and $396 paid by my Heath fund. I then queried this with Dr Mena before leaving and his response was it is a different price if you claim through a health fund compared to someone that doesn’t have cover. This makes no sense to me. I challenged this and he suggested he refunds the health fund and I make a personal payment if I want the $250 price. I understand you over claim to make it a gap free payment for your clients, which is ok. However I told you that my health fund covers 90%. You cannot charge a 90% funded health fund the same amount as what you charge a 60% funded health fund. You needed to claim $278 (not $425) in order to get the $250 fee. You should have a fixed amount you charge for the service regardless of where the payment is coming from, there is no need for my health fund to pay $396 for the service I received. It seemed very shady and dishonest. You need to improve communication with your clients, and be open and honest. I won’t be back!
Hi Anwar. Thank you for taking the time to leave this very detailed review. As I mentioned to you this morning, our check up, cleaning, X-rays, polish and fluoride is $250 for patients without health insurance or often gap free for those who do have health insurance. As each insurance cover is very different we cannot determine what benefit we'll receive before the claim. We certainly do not over-claim and we do not modify our service fees as you are suggesting based on a patient's level of cover. We simply waive the gap to make preventative dental care more affordable and accessible to all people. I'm sorry you couldn't understand this. As you're health fund covered higher than the $250 and you were quite concerned with this, I offered you the option of not using it and just paying that amount, which you opted for.
It's disappointing our service didn't meet your expectations and I wish you the best in the Waterloo community.
Mena.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and great service
Fantastic experience: Dr Mena is an amazing specialist. Fantastic job! Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Dr Mena is a kind and considerate dentist who takes care of his patients. The facility is modern, clean and professional with large rooms and high ceilings. I always expect the worst from dentists but Dr Mena gave me some sensible options and steered me away from unnecessary dental work. I have recommended several friends and I look forward to being a long term patient.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for taking care of my dental problem Dr Mena. You have been very professional and the care you have given is exemplary. Thank you to the team giving me an outstanding care that made my experience to be more comfortable. Finally i can find a dentist I can trust.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending Waterloo Dental for the past few years. I have the utmost confidence in Dr Mena Shehata and have always been very impressed with the service that Waterloo Dental provide (from their enthusiasm & professionalism, to the up-to-date technology they utilise). Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I was happy to visit this clinic and use the service of Dr Cuong. The whole treatment was high quality and with paying attention to details.
Negative experience: Let me first start by saying i'm not one for leaving bad reviews but such as the expense that comes with dental work i feel obliged to have my input and try to give you guys an idea on which dentist to choose . The dental work i had was Porcelain Crowns on the front 4 teeth, they have been on around 6 months now and i've had, lets say a few problems from chips, roughness and imbalance. I can't speak highly enough of the owner and staff for their welcoming attitude and the personal treatment received, they really go above and beyond. This is why i've been holding off writing this review. Overall i'm disappointed with the work that has been done, especially after spending a large sum of money.
Negative experience: From a treatment pov Damian has been great! However, there is a gap in fee structure transparency. Just finished 2 out of 3 stage treatment (c.1500$ so far), to be told that to sit the 3rd stage i would be required to pay a $200 deposit that would be offset against the next treatment. This was never communicated; first stage or second, so i as initially taken back. When questioned about whether or not this should be something that is communicated from the offset, the Dentist has a clear view that this is not something that a customer needs to be aware of. I disagree. I have paid the deposit, as i want to get the treatment over and done with. Luckily i am in a position to do so, there is a lot of people out there that don't have disposable income and a live week by week. So Just be mindful. If it wasn't for the lack of transparency, it would be a five star review !
Fantastic experience: Dr Mena and his staff are simply amazing! They are the nicest people ever with such amazing skills and always make me so comfortable. I feel really grateful to have found Dr Mena and his staff :)
Fantastic experience: Im super picky when it’s comes to my dentist, hygiene, service and most importantly knowledge and skills because my smile is on my head and I can’t imagine anything worse then bad breath or teeth. Insert Mena and the team, seriously wow. Some dentists nowadays are just about cash and others you find lack the care. Mena’ attention to detail in his clinic but also having the latest gadgets and smoothest equipment has made me look forward to my regular cleans. He also solved a mouth ulcer problem that I’ve had for over 15 years. Not just a dentist but a doctor who gives a damn. Highly recommend him and his knowledgable team.
Fantastic experience: I had Waterloo Dental repair a large filling that was done by another dentist years ago. I was putting it off for a while. I must say a big thank you for the fantastic work Dr Mena Shehata & his assistant did. It was painless & effortless. So much so I’ve booked in again to repair some other work done by my previous dentist. I highly recommend Waterloo Dental for their outstanding service & workmanship.
Fantastic experience: Had a clean & check up done. The most amazing service. Will definitely recommend to everyone. Dr Mena & his staff were caring, gentle & professional. Love the new premises, looks state of the art. Thank you once again.
Fantastic experience: If i could more put more than 5 starts I do it. I was very lucky to find Dr Mena who detected some cavities that were missed by another dentist I saw this week. So, this second dentist advice from Dr Mena was very helpful : not only the cavities, he also detected another disease which could result in losing my teeth if I didn’t see Dr Mena. Dr Mena is very professional : very good eye, good into details and check every single side of each tooth and he’s very honest in terms of treatment options
Fantastic experience: Thank you!
Thank you Alex! A lovely way for my team and I to start the morning!
Mena.

Fantastic experience: I started to go because my brother and his family recommended it to my daughter, I was looking for a good dentist and to be nice with the children and I found him. Aparate to be an excellent dentist is a good people. The place is very clean and has very good equipment. Sincerely, I highly recommend Dr. Meana.
Your family is a pleasure to see always Mafe! Growing up too fast!
Mena.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I (as well as my kids now) are regulars here! Dr Mena and the team are outstanding and deliver exceptional dental service. I took my 2 boys today for their first official check up (3.5 and 2 years old) and Dr Mena was fantastic with them! My eldest was a bit nervous but Dr Mena took the time and effort to make him comfortable and ensure a proper check up. Highly recommend Dr Mena for both kids as well as adults!
Thank you Tatijana. Small world right!? Send my love to the fam.
Mena.
Fantastic experience: I'm surprised that a clinic which charges $150 for late cancellations doesn't even notify you when they cancel :D simultaneously hilarious and upsetting UPDATE: I'm upgrading my review to 5 stars After the incident, Dr Mena reached out to me, apologized for the event and offered a compensation, so I decided to give it a second chance In a nutshell, my experience was highly positive: * The place is super fresh and clean * The equipment is super modern * Dr Mena did a excellent job explaining my situation and allaying my concerns 5 stars!
Sergio thank you for this review and the kindness of your update! It was my absolute pleasure meeting you (eventually) and thank you again for placing your trust in us. I appreciate this immensely and look forward to seeing you again.
Mena.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending this practice for a few years now and have always had a very professional and knowledgeable experience and the last few times I feel like they have even stepped it up, the practice is up to date with the latest technology and the staff are very knowledgeable and know how to get to the point fast and effectively, I live in the Sutherland shire and travel all the way to the practice when needed they have worked around my schedule even though they’re always booked, I recommend them and thank the team for such a swift and enjoyable experience.
Fantastic experience: I really recommend Dr. Meana and his team for many reasons. He is really good with kids. My kids’ first dental app were with him where they were 2 YO. I have recommend him to different mums and all have thanked me and have continued taking the children with him. My husband and I also have had good experiences there with the works done - cleaning, fillings and tooth removal. He takes time to explain procedures or things you need. All his team is very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Waterloo Dental and specially Dr. Mena has cared my family and friends for over 3 years. We have always received the best care even in times of urgency. I really recommend Waterloo Dental for its good attention and modern equipment. Miguel
Thank you Miguel! Your kind referrals and continued trust and support mean so much to me! Send my love to your beautiful family!
Mena.
Fantastic experience: Very good service and friendly staff! I always have an excellent customer experience here.
Thank you Min!
Fantastic experience: Recently attended Waterloo Dental and was seen by Dr Mena. First impressions of the surgery included friendly staff and a very hygienic environment. Dr Mena was prompt, friendly and nurturing throughout my root canal treatment. His bedside manner was impeccable, his calm and kind nature was reassuring throughout the surgery. I returned again with my young children for a general check up and he was absolutely amazing with them. I would highly recommend Waterloo Dental to our family and friends and the wider community.
Thank you Leah!
Fantastic experience: Dr Mena was very pleasant, explained everything to me thoroughly and is well priced. Highly recommend and i will definitely be going back.
Thank you Katie!

Mena.
Fantastic experience: I recently went to Waterloo Dental and i was very impressed. I was greeted by friendly staff and was seen by Dr Mena. Mena was amazing. His extensive knowledge and friendly approach gave me the confidence i was in the right hands. The practice was lovely, modern and most importantly clean. I have already referred friends to so him and will continue to do so.
Thank you James! Your beautiful family is always welcome.
Negative experience: I went in to see Dr Mena Shehata and he was very rude to me.
Sadly, this is a fake account with a history of fake reviews. Waterloo Dental and Dr Shehata have never met a Benny Paul. We'll take this opportunity to thank the amazing community of Waterloo for their incredible, continuing support.
Negative experience: Don’t go to this place coz the doc just want money. He tell me I need to spend over 5000 dollar just on my one tooth… and I only spend $1000 in another place

Fantastic experience: Having been a been a patient at for three years, I have been extremely satisfied with the team at Waterloo Dental. Dr Mena has a calm approach and a passion for delivering the best results and cosmetic finish when fixing a chipped tooth.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Waterloo Dental and sorted out my pain with high technology equipments.
Fantastic experience: What a great experience! Very rare to find such friendly and professional bedside manner. They went above and beyond. My partner's porcelain veneer had come off at a very inconvenient time(when does it not :)) and needed to be fixed promptly as she needed to be on set at the early hours the following morning. They made a time available for her that evening and on arrival we were made to feel completely at home. The staff were caring and the dentist did everything to make my partner feel completely comfortable. He even stayed past closing time(as we were the last patients of the evening) to answer my questions and satiate my curiosity about certain procedures. What a champion! I cannot recommend them more highly. They even called us the next morning to see how everything was. Thank you so much guys
Fantastic experience: I saw Dr Mena a few weeks ago based on the good reviews here. I have had a couple of filling since and my wisdom teeth out. Amazing staff and practice couldn’t be happier and I have recommended him to family and friends.
Negative experience: My colleague went for a filling replacement and ended up with 1.5 hrs treatment. All those times she opened her jaw and causing her sore and pain, unable to work for couple of days. Unbelievable!! Never trust google review again.
