Very poor experience…read more The receptionist tasha called me back. She was rude and unhelpful. Instead of offering any guidance or concern, I was told that "it says on their website" that I should have gone to urgent care if I was experiencing pain and discomfort after the treatment. There was no empathy, no willingness to listen. I expected basic professionalism and patient care, especially when someone is in pain after treatment. Unfortunately, this was completely lacking. I would not recommend this clinic based on my experience.

Chang and I cannot tell you how amazing my experience was...I did not have any freezing or numbing for my appointment, it was to repair a chipped back molar and build up bonding that was wearing away and discoloring on 2 of my front teeth. I was so relaxed during my session that I dozed off at least 2 times!! My experience was more of a spa session experience. I would definitely recommend him as your go to dentist especially for any nervous individuals at the dentist. Happy happy Patient! Joyce (Etobicoke)

The clinic itself is modern, immaculate, and only made better by the great service from every member of the staff I interacted with, including Dr. Matiu. She was keenly aware of my sensitivity to pain and constantly checked in on me to make sure I was comfortable. If you are anywhere in Toronto, this is where to go if you are looking for top-notch service. The clinic is two minutes away from Jane station so it is very easy to get to with the TTC.

Here........I found very compassionate people, who were experts in their field, nothing but kind and totally willing to work with me and help me take care of my dental needs. They gave me advice that actually no one else in my long history of dental experiences had done for me previously. Everyone was so very kind, attentive and good at what they do. I was sooo afraid of dentists when I went in and the level of their expertise and their compassion together quieted all my fears and made me realize - some people really DO care in regards to what they do! I've been to alot of dentists over the course of my life but these guys very much deserve FIVE stars in my book!

He makes the time to ensure everything you want to accomplish can be attained. I have full trust in his opinions, his work and his expertise. I would recommend anyone looking for a new general dentist or for a dentist who specializes in cosmetic work to visit this location first. You'll be amazed at what he can do for you.

When you first enter the office, their reception area makes you feel like you're sitting in your very own living room - its exudes an air of warmth and comfort! While upstairs, their equipment is advanced, and overall facilities are safe and very clean. I also love the motivational quotes that Dr. Nisha has etched throughout the offices - these truly embody the type of dental care you can expect to receive when visiting Dr. Nisha and her team. Everyone on the team - from the receptionists, to the hygienists, and Dr. Nisha herself... each makes you feel special in how they take time to get to know you and understand your individual dental needs - including everyday dental care, billing requirements, as well as new & innovative ways to improve and enhance your dental health. I also love that appointments are on time - this shows that the team values my time. The office is also conveniently located right across from the Bloor/Jane subway station - making it easy to get to! There is also Green P Parking right across the street as well! I would highly recommend Bloor West Dental - both for adults and children!

I've been a patient of Dr. Joe's for nearly two years now; and as Lan T. states, they do conduct…read morequite a few tests when you first sign up. They do these tests to get the FULL picture of your oral care; and with these results they can determine the health of not only your teeth and gum but of other factors attributed to certain heart diseases and cancers. My insurance covered about 80% of the costs of these tests; so I guess it's to each their own insurer. As quite a few people do, I have a well founded fear of dentistry. Growing up I had to go, because my mom made me do it; but when that dentist had passed on (really nice guy, just didn't like the sharp pointy objects he poked me with), I didn't go searching for another doctor for nearly five years. In comes that fact that although I fear dentists, the idea of losing my teeth scares me quite a bit more! My mother would gladly tell me at every moment she got that I had her "new car" in my mouth. I got braces when I was in junior school, and the end result was about thirteen grand; so I cheerfully developed a fear of destroying this "brand new car". I live close to Bloor West, so my husband and I decided to try out Dr. Joe (the hubby had never went to a dentist before, but had decided it was time to start!) Anyway, believe it or not, I don't fear dentists anymore thanks to Dr. Joe specifically. He has a way with keeping his clients calm without the use of drugs (until needed); he has talked me through numerous checkups/consults and even a root canal. Mind you the sharp pointy objects are still poking, but the surprise factor is gone; you're not left guessing and stressing about whether his next move is going to hurt. And surprisingly enough, just knowing "You're about to feel a pinch, is that okay?" removes so much pain from lack of anxiety. These days, when they say, "Let me know if you feel any pain" I usually think, "Pfft! Bring it on!" And I've been going to his office now every three months for checkups. They also have a great method of distraction too; every checkup/cleaning room is installed with a flat panel monitor in the ceiling, so you can catch up with the news or HGTV while they're cleaning your teeth. X-Raying your teeth doesn't cost as much as at some other locations either, because they use digital photography to get an inside look at your teeth and gum. The price for costly film is now redundant, since the pictures are computer generated. Just The Other Day... My last visit was a few days ago and I almost nearly didn't make it! We have construction going on our house, and my timing just got all bungled up. I doubt this could have happened every time, but they were willing to push back my appointment *twice* that day until our "house guests" finally left. I even got a little goody bag too, which kinda made me laugh and feel all of eight years old again. It came with a toothbrush, dental floss, toothpaste and *lip balm*. I usually come home with the toothbrush and floss, but the added paste and balm was a nice treat! Let's Talk Money Dr. Joe's office is a little more pricey than what our insurance wants to pay; by the time we get a check back, we're about $15 out of pocket on average for these check-ups. Which on a side note, their receptionist does all the insurance work for you, so you don't have to worry about filling out the forms properly. We normally get our money back within five days of the check-up.

This review has been a long-time coming and I want to be thorough so it will be lengthy. Grab a…read moresnack and settle in. I was a patient a Royal York Dental for over 7 years, maybe closer to 10, and I left because I finally had enough. I have a clear memory at my initial appointment of being told that if my insurance situation ever changed, to let them know, as they would do what they could to manage cost. At some point I went freelance and let them know I no longer had insurance. Unfortunately, by the time this happened the business had already changed ownership and my dental visits only seemed to get more expensive from there on out until I finally decided enough was enough. In recent years, every visit at Royal York Dental I was told - strongly - that I didn't take care of my teeth. I was told I didn't floss enough and as a result my gums were recessing and in the near future I would probably need a gum graft. A GUM GRAFT. I also should buy an expensive Sonicare toothbrush - which they just happen to sell there. I got so many units of scaling I could have opened a rock-climbing gym. Nothing was ever optional, everything was "necessary". Not to mention, my cleanings were always painful no matter how well I took care of my teeth (so. much. scaling). There was even a time between visits where I flossed every single day. I made it my mission. I went in and was told I need to floss more and I was headed towards a larger issue. They made me feel like I lost the dental genetic lottery no matter what I did. I started to ask around among my friends and I realized - none of them were *this* unhappy with their dentist visits. I was convinced I must have bad teeth but I'd give a new place a shot because the cost at RYD was just getting to be too much. WELL - I just had an incredibly thorough (and oddly enough, not painful) cleaning, exam and x-rays elsewhere and both the dentist and hygienist said my teeth were actually in great shape. My recessing gums? Turns out they aren't changing and in fact, they are what they would expect from someone who had braces. Nothing to worry about. Especially not with how well I take care of my teeth. HUH. They also charge the provincially recommended amounts for dental services. And the front desk staff were wonderful. I came home in shock. Do not go to Royal York Dental. After years of being lied to I feel obligated to share and warn others. Going to the dentist doesn't need to be expensive or worrisome. Lastly, if you're a current patient reading this and you feel like maybe there's some dental gaslighting going on - it's worth it to start over elsewhere.
