The dentist said now you need to have a surgery to pull out the root. Since then I frequently have teeth pain and inflammation problems.

After quite a break from using dental services (3 years due to trauma and medical issues) I went…read morelooking for a dental office in our neighbourhood and checked out Southside Dental Centre. There were a number of conditions that needed to be present at the practice due to certain medical issues; ; good parking (to compensate for mobility issues), clean professional offices, supportive staff in all positions, competent professional service and patience. I am glad to say this practice met all those conditions. They were attentive to my wife's particular needs, they never made us wait for a long time, we were never rushed and were always the centre of their professional attention.

Was a client for almost a decade. Never really needed anything other than showing up to a…read moresemi-annual appointment (one cavity and over a dozen checkups since 2011). My tooth broke last week (or maybe a cavity fell out I'm not sure) so I called my dentist. His receptionist apologized and stated that he's booked four weeks in advance. Disappointed at wasting so much time thinking I am cultivating a relationship with a professional who's familiar with my specific dental needs when being unable to get his attention when I require actual dental work. I other words, I spent a decade going to a mechanic for remedial oil changes and the fella is too busy to see me the moment the check engine light goes on. I trust Avenue Dental (at 2027 Portage Avenue in Winnipeg) will view my comments as a training opportunity.

Saw the bad review and thought I had to respond. Last year, 2018, I was referred by my dentist to…read moreDr. Andrej Brasko for a dental implant. Found him to be pleasant and professional. The procedure included extraction of roots and while I had never seen him before and was unlikely to return, I was treated as if I were a long standing client. It has been several months since the implant has been in and I have had absolutely no problems with it and cannot tell that the implant in place, it feels perfectly natural. I had referred a co-worker to him with a complicated implant procedure that a well known dental office would have done with an older method requiring a second long visit, but Brasko was able to do in one. Turned out very successful as well. We are both pleased with his work and recommend him.

A terrible experience from start to finish. Poor communication, lies about their call attempts…read more(They just say your number is disconnected/not in service) and the communication between the Dentist and Reception is non-existent. I booked an appointment for oral sedation for a severe tooth extraction, was told to be there an hour before my appointment to allow the sedation to kick in, only to learn that the dentist does not offer oral sedation. The reception "had no idea" that my dentist didn't offer this. So my only option was to take numbing, or do the exam that day and then take more time off work to come back 2 days later when another dentist that does oral sedation would "likely be in" Then after the appointment, while switching out the gauze, the gauze caught on the stitches he put in, and just to get it out of my mouth, i ripped out the stitches, causing another whole bout of pain. Its a simple recommendation from me, Numb out your mouth with some Anbesol, go find a homeless individual in a back alley, give them $50 and tell them which teeth you need out. It will hurt less in the long run! An update: July 2, 2025, I spoke with the manager of the clinic and she said that her receptionists don't know which dentists do or don't work with oral sedation so its really not their fault. I was clear that they need to properly address the issue and get back to me with a solution and then I gave them the day to look into it properly. I have not heard back from the manager, whom I believe her name was Christina. And after seeing the level of professionalism on their 1 and 2 star reviews, I can honestly say that I do not expect them to accept responsibility for their errors. I am grateful for the dentist who did the best he could to alleviate my pain, and it is unfortunate that the issue with the stitches happened, but it could honestly happen to anyone. It is even more unfortunate that this dentist has to work with administrators who can not adequately support him while he is trying to help people. Update 2: July 2. There was no further communication from the clinic. They refused to accept responsibility for their errors. I have reported the experience to MDA for mediation, and will be reaching out to a lawyer in the coming days. It is highly recommended that this clinic be avoided until such a time that they can take responsibility for their actions. If they can not even go as far as to give an apology, they can't be trusted with medical procedures that can impact a person's health and well being. Update 3: July 3 2025. Today something incredible happened. I have become the latest victim in the Greenwoods Dental Clinic's particular brand of review replies. It was every bit as great as I had hoped it would be. First things first, the satire about a homeless man doing dentistry was taken seriously and that brings so much joy you don't even know. Second, apparently I emailed asking for compensation. I would love to see that email. I absolutely told them I wanted a resolution which could have simply been just an apology, which to date I still have not received. Third, my appointment was on Monday June 30, not Sunday. There are plenty of dentists that I could have went to, but I mistakenly went here because they openly offered oral sedation, which was the main draw to me selecting this mess of unprofessionalism. Next, apparently this is a fake review. I openly encourage ANYONE who wants to see the documentation to message me anytime. I will happily share every piece of documentation I have if it helps even one person avoid the kind of experience I had. Every email, all the insurance claim info which due to what they put me through has been reversed, literally anything and everything I have will be made available to all of you. Lastly, the complaint has already been filed with MDA. A lawyer has been contacted and we are waiting for details from the MDA before proceeding. I absolutely love the threats, profanity and unprofessionalism publicly posted in the reply! I will be updating this review regularly

They were able to squeeze us in on the very next day for the surgery. Front desk was very professional, polite, knowledgeable and pleasant. Surgery was done by Doc. Jay Guay. I feel sorry for people who put negative reviews about him. We had nothing but positive experience only. We had Doc. Hildebrandt as anesthesiologist who was also great. We had consult and surgery on the same day which I was very appreciative about considering we live over an hour away from the city. Doc Guay explained in details of the surgery. Surgery itself took 30 min max. He did an excellent job at removing all 4 teeth at the same time. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone. He was very upbeat and very pleasant.

As well as the ladies at the front desk who made her feel safe and reassured her about the surgery! I have gone with my daughter for a few follow-up appointments and each time Dr.Guan and his assistant in the room were personable and more than willing to answer any questions we had. Particularly about the topic of becoming an oral surgeon or orthodontist. (Which my daughter wants to go to school for in the future.) The most recent time we went, he spent about 20 minutes answering questions my daughter had about how he became an oral surgeon/the path he took to get where he is today and the question, "Is it worth it? Do you enjoy what you do?" To which he responded without hesitation that yes, he loves what he does - and it shows from the passion he displays when talking about his career. I would recommend the Oral Surgery Group of Winnipeg to anyone of all ages. Thank you, Dr.Guan!

They told me I had Four "Soon to be cavities", that I have perfect teeth but they'll be even better once they fill the "soon to be holes". I got the fillings done and a week went by... NOW my teeth hurt. I had to go back 4 times for them to finally figure out what was wrong!!! A crack in my tooth! They cracked my tooth! and now they want me to pay for the Crown!?!? You're kidding? Horrible experience. Dr. Lau is a nasty, nasty con artist of a dental professional, he's not even professional at that. Maybe if he wasn't watching the TVs in his office, talking about his weekend plans or what the best shows and movies are with his dental assistants this wouldn't be happening. They said my teeth were perfect when I first went there. Dr. Laurence Lau is a con artist, And through all of 4 visits he never once mentioned I would have to pay for the crown or root canal, Until I finally needed it. He's a terrible, terrible dentist and even worse of a human being. I feel very unsafe going to dentists in general now, but even if I do I can guarantee you it will never be to Polo Park Dental Centre to see Dr. Laurence Lau. My recommendation is no matter how many good reviews there may be for the man, my experience was so terrible, please take it into account and save yourself the hassle, pain and inconvenience. Find someone, anyone else. Stay far away from Dr. Laurence Lau.
