Anyway, I love the staff so much I kept them as my dentist even when I moved to Calgary. Twice a year I would make the trip for my cleanings. Sometimes I had to make trips for fillings etc. Dr Pavlenko introduced me to fillings without freezing. I was super scared but was more scared of the freezing as my 1st cavity was filled just before he took over and I was frozen for almost 24 hours. He promised me if it hurt he would stop and freeze me how ever the "pain" was less painful than the pain I felt from the freezing. I have had all my subsequent filings freezing free. If I procreate I can't wait to bring my spawn here after they get their 1st fang too.

After much back and forth they agreed to redo it. Then Covid came and the office closed. I left messages that were not returned, and once they opened again, I repeatedly called only to have my messages again not returned. I could not wear the denture and had to resort to one that was 10 years old. I still have one more year beofore I qualify for new coverage, so needless to say I'm stuck and more than disappointed. I don't see the person who did these on the list of staff so hopefully new patients will have better luck.

She was able to do the first set of impressions the same day which saved making an extra appointment. I just received my new dentures and I can't believe how comfortable they are already. Was fully expecting some sore spots, etc. Christina expained everything she was going to do, if I had questions or concerns. I highly recommend Christina!!

He had to rebuild one of my teeth from bottom to top in order to save it. I thank him very much for caring and doing the best he could to help me save and keep my tooth.

A special thanks to Hermitage dental clinic for accepting and joining the federal seniors dental plan.

i I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding my recent visit to your…read moredental clinic on 09Apr2025 During my appointment, I experienced behavior that I believe was discriminatory and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I noticed I was treated differently compared to other patients in the waiting room and during my treatment, includin The way I was spoken to and treated gave me the impression that I was being judged or dismissed based on my [race/ethnicity/cultural background]. This experience left me feeling disrespected and hurt. I believe everyone deserves equal and respectful treatment in a medical setting, regardless of their background. I am raising this issue not only to express how this has affected me personally but in the hope that your clinic will take this matter seriously and ensure that no other patient has to feel this way in the future. I would appreciate a response and would like to know what steps, if any, will be taken to address this situation.

The excuse was to prevent fraud. But they gave me some hokey story about patients not paying what is due and that being fraud. Sorry lady but that isn't fraud. The fact that they couldn't provide me with a patient consent form to take my photo leads me to believe that their staff is not properly trained in patient information privacy. It's unfortunate as I loved this clinic but I don't want to go to a clinic that doesn't tell me exactly what personal information they keep and use and for what purposes. That is a total deal breaker.

Paid in full which was a mistake because felt once I did that the service and front desk treatment was very poor. I did not realize I would have extra work between emails and telephone calls to get my trays with several delays therefore I am behind by 2 weeks and still have to wear old trays because she could not be bothered to send them out even with 16 days notice. This is now the third time this Iady has done this. I have not completed my treatment yet and hopefully the rest will be done in a timely matter. If you can get Invisalign treatment from another office that won't be obstructive to your treatment.

The receptionist, Michelle, is extremely ill-suited to a job dealing with people. They don't do direct billing, so I had a bill of $4000 to be paid before leaving. I am a poor university student. She spoke to me like I was stupid when I was upset about having to pay such a huge bill, and made me cry. She was ridiculously rude while I was numbed up and still in pain, saying I didn't understand how the 'real world' worked and I needed to learn a lesson. I have good benefits which covered most of the bill, but for whatever reason they don't direct bill, so I had to max out my credit card. I got back to by car and sobbed because of the how badly I had been treated. They need to fire Michelle!! My father had a similar experience with her at his appointment, likening her to the ugly troll who doesn't let people pass her bridge without payment. Left an awful taste in my mouth and will tell everyone I know not to go there because of her.

His gentle, professional care and state-of-the art equipment ensure only the best treatment. The staff are very good at following up with reminders of appointments and calls to ensure that you're feeling okay after treatment. I also really appreciate that this office has gone digital - all of the forms can be completed online before your appointment and the staff regularly communicate via email. Finally, the great location just outside of the LRT means that I can hop a train home and avoid all of the downtown traffic. While I wouldn't hope for another root canal, if I had to have another, I'd certainly go back to Dr. Lahl!
