Fantastic experience: Dentist a delight and reception staff great. A really positive experience !
Thank you, Jane, for your lovely feedback.
Fantastic experience: A big, big thank you to Annette Gareis today for caring for my husband. He came in to have his six monthly Check, Scale & Clean It was found he also required two fillings which had fallen out due to the age of the fillings . Annette explained what was needed & I went to the Reception Desk to organise an appointment for these fillings. Immediately Mel was able to tell me that a patient had cancelled their appointment. It followed my husband’s appointment. She asked if he would like to have the work done immediately. Annette felt he was fine to endure an hour in the chair for this work. He has turned 90 years of age. We were saved having to return to have the fillings done. My husband and I were very happy to be given the appointment. Then Mel made me a cup of tea while I waited for him. This demonstrated caring and concern to all parties concerned. Again thank you Annette, Mel and Natalie Les and Marie Semmens
Thank you Marie. Will pass your nice feedback on!

Fantastic experience: The staff and Dr Shannon were amazing. I hate going to the dentist but they were so quick, gentle and professional I think I might actually start going for regular checkups and cleans here instead of waiting until something goes wrong.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Dr Shannon twice now and both times she has been very gentle and thorough in her cleaning and checking of my teeth. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your feedback Alex
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr Shannon Sia. She is hands down one of the best dentists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She has an excellent bedside manner - she’s very attentive and gentle while being extremely skilled with a kind and understanding personality. I cannot recommend seeing her enough. She’s made it possible to enjoy seeing the dentist!
Thank you for your review. We will ensure Shannon receives this great feedback.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here a couple of years and every dentist I’ve seen has been great. I just had some wisdom teeth removed under local by Jungin Park and I have to say as someone who has never even had a filling, he and the staff made me feel really comfortable and I barely even felt the tooth get taken out! I highly recommend, and they always try to give you the best pricing options with private healthcare or not. jungin also organised for me to have an extra consult after my initial removal without charge just to answer a question I had and reassure me, you’re in great hands for you or your family here.
Thank you Darcy for your feedback. We are happy to hear this and will pass this on to Jungin.
Fantastic experience: I always dreaded seeing the dentist until I visited this practice. I have seen Dr Lorraine Lim Park for some time now and can't recommend her enough, especially if you're nervous about going to the dentist. She has resolved all my dental issues and her friendly nature always put me at ease. My partner now sees her regularly as well. Thanks always for a great service.
Thank you Jake for your great review. We appreciate it and will ensure Lorraine receives the positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: Myself and my 4 children (19, 17, 11, 8) have been attending Avenues Family Dental for 3yrs. We find the staff friendly and professional. My 8yr old daughter has special needs and alot of dentist would refer a child especially one with special needs to a specialist but Dr Vanessa was happy to see her and with the support of the staff we got the job done saving me alot of money. They accept the child medicare and also my healthfund rebate for afew things which also saves me money, cost is so important to my family. I have also seen Dr Annette for my jaw issues, her treatment really helped and her follow-up aftercare was really appreciated. Everything you need is there so no need to travel for X-rays and the lovely ladies at the front desk always have everything ready and organised for quick and easy payment process. If you are looking for a new friendly and affordable dentist I highly recommend The Avenue's Family Dental.
Thank you Stefanie. We will pass this feedback along. Appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Have been coming here for years, finally found a practice that all dentist and staff go above and beyond and are so helpful. Thanks Avenues.
Thanks Connor - appreciate your feedback!
Fantastic experience: The staff at Avenues family dental are incredible. Always so friendly and helpful!
Appreciate your comments Danica. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I was beautifully looked after by Dr Joanne Mattner, who along with the team at the Avenues Family Dental have been providing exceptional care for the past 10 years I've been visiting. Health insurance covers most things, but more important than price is that you really do feel cared for and confident after visiting!
Thank you for your kind words Rachael. Will pass your feedback on!
Fantastic experience: Thanks you ! Very much.
Thank you Yiver!

Thank you for your feedback Paddy. We will share this with the team.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to this dentist twice now and had really good experiences both times. Michael is fantastic and I would definitely recommend him.
Thank you for your feedback Jeri.
Fantastic experience: 5 stars! Michael and his team are amazing! They have looked after my mum and I for years at other practices and have just been great. Front desk are always lovely and have been very friendly and helpful to work with when enquiring about quotes and new procedures. I sent my partner in to get his Twisted tooth looked at and Dr Michael was able to help very quickly and help coming to the rescue with a solution. I appreciate the care that the team take with us all considering that the dentist can be a scary place so there’s no need to worry about having issue with Dr Michael or the team
Thank you for your kind words Mirabelle!
Negative experience: I had a very unpleasant experience, Michael was very rude, impatient and not understanding or gentle. The reception were nasty and snarky too, wouldn’t recommend
We take your feedback seriously. Unfortunately, there is no record of you attending our practice. We pride ourselves on our kind and considerate customer service. Please contact the practice so we can rectify this matter.
Negative experience: I deleted my first review because the staff had the amazing idea to put my personal procedure information in their response, I would just like to say how disrespectful, disgusting and violating that is. Like I have said, this is my personal experience and as professionals I would expect that you wouldn’t breach patient confidently like that. My review is not disrespectful, it’s my opinion, this is why google reviews exist. So please respect my thoughts and do not include my confidential information Every appointment that I made would be changed to a different day or time, the last time it happened it was a few hours before the appointment where I had taken study off to attend and of course they changed it! I had also received a filling, after knowing something was wrong with it I had gone back so they could double check and they said it was okay and it was normal I was in so much pain (I had a gut feeling they messed it up and I have never experienced this amount of pain after a filling) I changed dentist's and they confirmed there was still a hole where they had "filled" My gum was drilled during this filling, I have a photo of a bunch of drill marks in my gum and there was no reason for them to do that, my new dentist even agrees. Everything felt rushed and they didn't seem to have any care I have never been to a dentist like this before, it seems like theyre extremely overbooked and understaffed as someone receiving a treatment it has really turned me off dentists and every time I go to an appointment I'm scared my dentist is going to do what they did Honestly I'm just disappointed in the service and lack of care in my appointment Anyways this is my personal experience, it won't be the same for everyone but be careful I know the dental practice won't think they did anything wrong, but you did and please do better for other people

Fantastic experience: Had the best dental experience ever, had 2 fillings done last week by Dr Sia and she made me feel so comfortable. I didn't feel any pain even afterwards. She did such a great job numbing before the needle, mouth wedge so my jaw didn't hurt keeping my mouth open. Explained everything, had a few laughs. I'm taking my son to see her for his first filling.
Thank you for your feedback Jane!
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Dentist Joanne and Nurse Lucy or being so very personable and doing a technically excellent job. Looking at my teeth now, you would not know that I previously had obvious issues.

Fantastic experience: My dentist is Miriam and she is professional and friendly. She is confident in her scope of practice to refer me to an orthodontist when needed. The practice also claims maximum on my health fund making each visit very cost effective.
Thank you Jacinta
Fantastic experience: I was nervous about finding a new dentist after my former dentist of 25 years retired. I am very happy to have found The Avenues and have found both Jo and Michael to be very thorough, friendly and professional. The reception staff also go above and beyond to help find an appointment that suits, which is very much appreciated. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your feedback Hannah
Fantastic experience: If you HAVE to go to a dentist, then make it The Avenues Family Dental. Professional, modern, efficient, great reception staff and very good dental practitioners. Although I hope to never see Dr Michael Thorpe again, I'm so glad I was lucky enough to see him this time. I like my dentist to explain what's happening. I like my dentist to show a human, caring side. I like my dentist to do a bloody good job. And so he did. Thank you Dr Michael Thorpe (and assistant nurse). Even so, I hope to never see you again :) :) :)
