5 /5 Frances Atkinson: There was a time I couldn’t even drive past a Dental clinic without experiencing something close to fear and panic.
I grew up in the era of dental vans, excessive pain and dental practitioners who instilled terror. Sadly, I carried these experiences into adulthood, but years of avoidance finally caught up with me and something had to be done.
Even though a friend recommended Choice Dental, I was super anxious and distrusting. I made my first appointment over the phone – in tears. The receptionist was kind, calm and reassuring – she listened patiently and said the Choice Dental practitioners are both skilled and caring. This proved to be 100% accurate.
For more than a year, I had many appointments with Dr Tim Chan, an incredibly empathetic, supportive professional who took a terrified patient with a significant number of dental issues and skillfully transformed my smile and quite,
frankly, resolved years of trauma.
I cannot recommend the team at Choice Dental enough. Many skills can be taught, but it’s only luck when people also possess empathy, patience and kindness.
