Ducci K (Ducci) 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I underwent several procedures, including a root canal and cleanings, at Frenchs Forest Dental. I must say, Dr. Ali and the clinic staff are incredibly professional. Dr. Ali himself is not only friendly but also attentive to every concern, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. He meticulously checks in to guarantee satisfaction, demonstrating a true dedication to perfection. What sets this experience apart is the personalised care—it's a far cry from the typical dentist appointment that feels transactional. I highly recommend Frenchs Forest Dental for all your dental needs. The clinic's convenient location provides ample parking, and with a shopping centre nearby, you can easily enjoy a meal or coffee before your appointment.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at Frenchs Forest Dental and could not recommend Dr Ali more. He is a wonderful dentist and has completely transformed my teeth, I can now smile with confidence for the first time in many years. I am an extremely nervous patient, but he was incredibly kind and patient and made sure I felt comfortable, safe and pain free during all of my procedures. And all of the lovely staff at the surgery are so caring, friendly and professional too. Thank you so so much, you have changed my life and I could not be happier!

Bec Smith 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: My family have been coming to this practive for over 50 years. Through both Dr Malcom Ritchie and Dr Ali, i have had half of my wisdom teeth currently removed, with the other half scheduled to be removed shortly, and it was the least painful and traumatic experience anyone in my family has had with our wisdom teeth. I had both out within an hour and was back at work on Monday after a late Saturday afternoon surgery. Dr Ali and his team are exceptionally warm, professional and trusting, and i will continue to reccommend this practice to everyone i know. --> Image immediately after surgery...

Negative experience: Dr Ritchie said I needed 6 fillings he did 3. Then I went to another dentist for a 2nd opinion, he could not find a problem.

Frenchs Forest Dental
Frenchs Forest Dental

Dear Cam cam, thank you for taking the time to comment. We encourage all patient feedback, be it good or bad, as we are always looking to improve the experience for our patients. If there is an unhappy patient, we kindly ask them to call our practice on 02 9452 5408. Dr Ritchie is only too happy to talk and find a happy solution.

With that said Cam Cam, how you describe your experience with Dr Ritchie, contradicts the very protocols in which he practices. Dr Ritchie has been running Frenchs Forest Dental practice since 1977. He has not, and would never suggest a treatment, only to leave the job half done.

Since your Google account has been created anonymously, and your identify cannot be verified or checked on our records, we have good reason to question the validity and authenticity of this review.
