Darren Gardiner 4 months ago

Negative experience: I was requiring a very small, basic filling which the Higgins practice facilitated through an opening available on the day I rang .....for which I was thankful. I did have a discrepancy with the pricing regimen applied to my situation which I bought to the owner/ manager of the business (Chris). His manner was quite condescending, referring to myconcern as essentially ignorant, saying that my issue may lay in that I have not in my 59 yrs of experience had this level of dental care. The reality is, his application of a fee for an oral examination was unnecessary as I provided the information having had a full comprehensive investigation only weeks earlier....I reiterated this to the dentist saying there was nothing of sensitivity. They took a X ray of tooth which I had no objection to , so as to verify depth and extent of problem. My issue was with a fee charged that had no basis nor cause. Be aware of disproportionate pricing within the context of your teeth work if you choose to go there. This will most certainly be my last

Leesa Brown 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First time attending this dentist surgery and it was a fantastic experience - as far as fantastic goes for a trip to the dentist. I was acknowledged as soon as I entered. I was treated kindly. After my teeth were examined I was provided with options and was even offered a second opinion by the Senior Dentist. They were empathetic and non judgemental. Following my tooth extraction, the next day I was given a check up phone call and when I had to go back I was given a prompt appointment the following day. Great service all round

Fantastic experience: Can not vouch for this practice enough ! Patient care exceeds expectations every visit.

Thank you for caring for my family especially in our desperate times of dental needs.

Fantastic experience: I visited Higgins Dental yesterday and was treated by Dr. Chris. I came in with severe tooth pain, and Dr. Chris quickly discovered my tooth needed to come out. It was honestly the most pleasant, painfree dentist experience I've had. Dr. Chris was professional, kind, fast working & highly experienced. I felt at ease and complete trust in him immediately. I highly recommend Higgins Dental. Thank you so much for taking away my pain.

Jane Nurmi 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went for a 2nd opinion on an expensive dental procedure that had been quoted to me elsewhere and so glad I did because Dr.Chris walked me through other options and discussed the option best suited to me, and it was certainly preferable to the other quoted procedure that I felt was being pushed on me. And, so good with children, my family are impressed with how well he interacts with the young ones, even to putting cartoons on the screen for their amusement. I am very happy with the care and consideration at Higgins Dental.

Hameed Afridi 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Higgins Dental team, are professional, calm and capable. I had been putting off necessary dental work for years, until it couldn't be avoided any longer. A broken wisdom tooth that needed immediate extraction and still the process was fast, painless and left me wondering why I'd even been worried about it for so long!

sarah hanily 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Both Erin and Chris are so friendly and personable. They make the daunting process of dental work much more pleasant. I had a lot of dental work required, but it's been broken down into sizeable chunks, which is much less overwhelming. When you walk into the surgery, you are met with Maddy's welcoming smile and friendly demeanour. I often recommend this surgery to family and friends. Thanks to the team for everything they do.

Fantastic experience: The professionalism and friendliness of Dr Erin and the team at Higgins Dental is outstanding. I have recently had composite veneers done at Higgins dental and I couldn’t be happier with the service and results. The procedure and after care from Dr Erin was first class. Our whole family will now be regulars at Higgins Dental!

Johnny Needham 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I badly cracked and shattered a tooth travelling from New Zealand to Australia and thought the wedding I was to attend and holiday would be ruined. I was amazed and incredibly grateful Higgins could squeeze me in and sort the emergency. I doubt I would have been treated as quickly back home . Erin was professional friendly and capable and did an excellent job. She emailed me a detailed report and photos to show my dentist back home exactly as she said she would. She saved my holiday in Noosaville . 5 stars all round . Many thanks.

Belinda Myles 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great experience for my sons first trip to the dentist. Dr Christopher explained everything very well to my son and my son was giggling through the whole thing. Thank you!

Beth Connor 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Higgins Dental by a good friend and they were amazing to say the least. I saw Dr Erin for a consult regarding a very tedious treatment especially because I can be a bit picky. She was so understanding and extremely patient with me throughout the entire process and I could not be any happier with the outcome. Can’t recommend Higgins Dental more if I tried. Thank you so much!

Luke Whitford 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Chris is a Mastermind with those dental tools with the delicate touch of an angel. I’ve never been more comfortable seeing a dentist, he’s a very kind and compassionate guy, truly thankful I know him and have access to his services. (He reconstructed my 4 front teeth and you wouldn’t know how bad they were when I broke them skateboarding)
