Aylah Judd 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at st albans Lumino. I was nervous coming in to the dentist, but the receptionist was so kind and friendly it put me at ease. The dentist took his time with me and explained everything very clearly. I will definitely be back.

Lumino St Albans | Lumino The Dentists

Thank you for your lovely review Aylah! We are so happy that the team was able to help you feel at ease throughout your visit. Thanks again for the review, and we look forward to seeing you again.

Fantastic experience: Catherine Jack is one of the best (if not the best) dentist I have encountered in Christchurch. Explains options clearly, injections are nearly painless, and fillings are perfect. A perfectionist in the best way, she wants you to feel comfortable and do her best job with your teeth. I’ve recommended her to friends who are very nervous about the dentist, and they’ve said she puts them at ease which is a great quality for those who have had bad experiences. Lovely receptionists too. Would recommend.

Lumino St Albans | Lumino The Dentists

Thanks for the lovely feedback and referrals Jenn. Make sure your friends tell us you recommended us.

Cheree Cummings 1 year ago

Negative experience: If I could give zero stars I would. Booked me for a 9.30am appointment, I arrive 5mins early, wait for 30mins before someone else is seeing the dentist I am meant to be seeing, meaning I wouldnt be seeing the dentist until at least 10.30am. Deeming my time of waiting as unimportant. I'll take my business elsewhere

Lumino St Albans | Lumino The Dentists

Hi Cheree, thanks for the feedback. We’re very sorry that we were running late today, we try to run on time however sometimes we can get held up with other patients, particularly if treatment ends up being more complex than initially anticipated which can lead our dentists to take longer to complete treatment. We appreciate your time is valuable too, we do apologise you were impacted today.

Nicki Jacobs 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Feeling very thankful for Kristine's experience and intuition today after a recent xray failed to show decay due to it being obscured by another filling. She suggested investigating and I'm glad I trusted her as there was a lot of decay hiding away! Kristine has definitely saved me from a future root canal procedure! I highly trust, value and recommend Kristine. Thank you. :-)

Lumino St Albans | Lumino The Dentists

Glad we could help, Nicki! Thanks for the lovely feedback!

Kris Willis 2 years ago

Negative experience: OMG. just had a call from them. bill unpaid for 6 weeks due to unforeseen bills and trying just to survive and its going to a debt collector.......and this is why a lot of people don't go to dentists or doctors...Its sounds like they only care about money not not people

Fantastic experience: I have been using these dentists for a few years after they were recommended to me. Always prompt attention, caring staff and efficient service. I recently damaged a crown and they arranged for an appointment the next day. Narelle and her assistant who I, had never met before were excellent, kind, caring and gentle service. I have made a follow up appointment for check over etc. Thank you.

Lumino St Albans | Lumino The Dentists

Thanks for your positive feedback Dick. Will pass your review on to Narelle and Yvette.

MC aeries 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: As someone who tried 3 dentists in Chch before here, I can honestly say my experience with Kristine was A+. My 3 fillings feel and look great and I felt very secure with her communication through every step and her empathy for patient comfort. Staff are lovely too. Thank you guys!

Lumino St Albans | Lumino The Dentists

So glad to hear. Thanks for the great feedback, MC.

Stevie Kara-turn 3 years ago

Negative experience: Receptionist very rude , dentist lady very good with help in certain area , where I wasn't informed when I booked my appointment there was a payment of $50 dollars for a quote , Wouldn't recommend at all

Lumino St Albans | Lumino The Dentists

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with our front office team, we will be in touch to get some more details on what happened, we appreciate the feedback so we can improve

Aurora Passchier 3 years ago

Positive experience: Price ended up double what I expected because they changed the appointment to double appointment without communicating with me first ( I was happy with a standard appointment and what could be done in that time, and said so) The hygienist also disregarded my request for a lecturefree appointment which I found stressful, disrespectful and rude. Even though it was a good and painless clean I will be going elsewhere from now on.

David and Rachel Ford 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Stunning service from Front desk to the chair. Painless procedure and the dentist (Jessica) was thorough with her diagnosis, explanation and detail on aftercare. For a dentist visit.....it was outstanding.

Lance Aydon 4 years ago

Negative experience: Great service by Jessica to have a crown re cemented but the cost for 20 minutes work was $250!!!!! Essentially tantamount to exploitation as this is my regular dentist and needed it fixed promptly. This charge is impossible to justify and I can just imagine the greedy grin the owners of this business have when they are charging in excess of $10 pet minute for their service. I feel ripped off.

Lumino St Albans | Lumino The Dentists

Hi Lance. Sorry to hear you didn't feel like you got value from our service. The cost of dental care is a constant stugle in New Zealand and we are well aware that cost can be prohibitive, we never want anyone to feel exploited. We will be in touch to see if we can work something out. Thanks for the feedback though, if we aren't told it's hard for us to try and make things better. We will review this case and use it going forward with our services.

Rooter tomato 4 years ago

Negative experience: IF i can choose 0 star, my review would be more appropriate. i had the worst dental experience in my life. i have visited here to fix all of my upper teeth (4 fillings). 3 out of 4 new filling had broken within a week time, ( one of them broke within a day). they told me, i have strong bite....so i had to visit again to refill for free (off course), and again one of them that had been REFIILED, broke again.... it had took them forever to get it right. no proper appologies have ever made by any stuff. never go back there or recommended to anyone. i always told people to not go to st albans dentist.

Veresha Padayachee 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Andrew, the nicest dentist I have ever met- he did a tricky AND pain-free filling , I did not even feel the injection!
