I am a nervous wreck when it comes to Dentists, usually because of horrible past experiences (not…read moreenough freezing to mention one) but Halifax Dental Centre is a breath of fresh air! The staff are so friendly, and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Stephen Creaser has a true passion/love for his job. He explains all of the steps he is taking and insured that I was completely comfortable (yay no pain!!). He also takes photos of your teeth! So at the end of your appointment you get to see (from his view) what he did, why and how! Its pretty (gross) cool! Dr. Creaser's prices are really reasonable too! Their staff are really helpful when it comes to insurance as well! I actually am looking forward to my next appointment, not really, but I definitely am more comfortable with the thought of going!!

I had my first Root Canal at this office. I was concerned about it due to the many "horror stories"…read morethat people give particularly about the pain. But I thought it's better than losing the tooth. The process was thorough and painless. I was placed in a 360° scanner after the procedure to check for anomalies. All was well. Kudos to Dr. Livingstone and the staff at HCCD. Thank you!

I really liked this clinic on my first couple of visits. The welcome room is lovely and I felt both…read morethe Hygienist and the Dentist were kind, professional, and knowledgeable. Over the past year, however, I have learned more about my dental health from other professionals. This made me realize how poorly Herring Cove Dental and Dr. Livingstone had assessed me. When I followed up to see what happened on my initial visit a year ago, Dr. Livingstone got defensive and said because she hadn't seen me throughout my life, she could only go by what she saw on her initial intake screen and assessment. Sounds fair enough, except that other professionals could only do the same, yet they asked more questions to make better assessments and talk with me about my dental history and current health. Very few professionals will be able to follow someone their whole lives- this should never be an excuse for not asking questions to make proper assessments. I'm just thankful I continued to do my own research and was able to self-refer to a specialist. The specialist identified some pretty obvious initial issues that had never been discussed with me by Dr. Livingstone. In fact, had it not been for my questions this past appointment, they still would not have been mentioned or addressed. Again initially, I really liked this location and had no complaints. I would have happily and confidently recommended them. But after what I have learned the past month, and in the disappointing response from Dr. Livingstone, I will be looking for a different dentist to support my care plan going forward.

I recently switched to this dental clinic after reading the reviews on Yelp and I was not…read moredisappointed! Everyone who works here it friendly and thoughtful. I got a check up with Dr. Lucy and then returned for a cleaning with the hygienist. When you enter through the double doors you'll find the waiting area and the reception desk with the three admins. There's a tv in one section of the waiting room and one in each of the rooms that I've been in for work. They took special care to find out if I was comfortable or had any anxiety about visiting the dentist. There is lots of free parking given that it's located in a large strip mall and it's across the street from the Dartmouth bus terminal for those taking transit. If you're looking for a new dental clinic, I definitely recommend this one. To note though, you'll need to go in for a special new patient appointment before they'll do any work on your teeth, so don't wait for a cavity!

I called their office long distance from Calgary in an effort to seek advise from a former dentist…read morethat had worked here about a year ago. It took me a long time to locate her. Anyway, I called the office and it was about 10AM here so about 1PM there I suppose; and the phone continued to ring and ring. I hung up, and later tried again. This time I let it ring for quite a while thinking perhaps an answering machine would kick in. Instead, the reception picked up the phone and without hearing a word from me, asked me to hold. No problem I said. So; I continued to wait for about 5 minutes, then suddenly the phone slammed down on my ear. I then called back and asked the receptionist why the phone was slammed down, and she said that she was busy. OKAY.....I said. I went on to mention the nature of my call, and she assured me that she would relay the message. I waited 3 days and no return of the message. I also sent emails. Still nothing. Sent them back an email in return stating that I"m glad I"m not a patient of theirs . That they can keep that type of practice is Dartmouth Nova Scotia where it belongs! Not nice people in my opinion.

I explained that I left work in the city as soon as I could to make my 5:30 pm appointment but with traffic I would be 10 minutes late. I was told that I could not be seen. Not only was this frustrating and a waste of time and gas, but it was also disappointing that the clinic has changed. It was family focused and served the needs of the community (I used to even go trick or treating here) but now they can't even understand and tolerate that sometimes life makes you run 10 minutes late. Next available appointment is in 6 months. Wow. No thanks.
