Hornby Dental Centre: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Hornby Dental Centre are amazing. I had a dental emergency a few weeks ago and became unwell very quickly. I couldn’t get into my own dentist for a fortnight so my boss rang her dentist (Hornby Dental Centre) and they took me right away and within a few hours I was sorted. Dr Pamela Wong is so caring and attentive and after seeing her once I immediately changed to Hornby Dental Centre. Dr Wong even rang me the next day to check on me. They offer very reasonable prices and the reception team are the nicest people and very prompt and knowledgeable. The dental assistants are a great asset as well, the one that has been present my last two visits has been very supportive and caring towards me. If you’re looking for a decent dentist go here!!!
Negative experience: I took a friend to this dental clinic for treatment yesterday on April 2nd.. My friend told me the whole process would only take 20 minutes, but 40 minutes passed and I had to go in to see how much longer i would have to wait for her as i am running out of time for next appointment myself .As soon as I entered, the lady at the front desk stared at me without a trace of smile on her face, as if to say, "why the hell are you here for!" After anothe 15 mins waiting Another lady on the left suddenly in front of me and spoke to me in an impatient tone, as if she didn't want to know what was going on at all and talked over me The staff at the reception area in this place were all very unfriendly and dismissive, making me feel very uncomfortable. They obviously need more customer service training because their behavior and attitude are completely inconsistent with the requirements of a customer service position. Not Happy
Fantastic experience: First of all, I had a checkup and inspection for my teeth. Dr. Daniel was very thorough in discussing his findings with me, and I also had two fillings done. Additionally, I was recommended to see Amy, the hygienist, who provided excellent care as well. I also had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted, and Dr. Daniel and his team made sure I was well taken care of throughout the entire process, offering great moral support. They were honest, explained everything clearly, and ensured I felt comfortable every step of the way. I am extremely satisfied with the care I received. On top of all that, the pricing is very reasonable for the quality of service you get. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for professional and caring dental care!
Fantastic experience: highly recommend the team here
Negative experience: I got an appointment notification today at 8:01 AM and later on a call about. I didn't have an appointment in 1st place, but they offered me to reschedule for the 16th of December. So fahr so good. As I came from work, I told my wife about it, and she said that would her appointment. My wife called reception, and the receptionist said there was no appointment. I took the phone and said that I got a message and later on a call about it, and you rescheduled this appointment. The receptionist argued and said no, we called yesterday, I said no, and so on. She would not listen, nor reverse her mistake and straight laied about h mistake. I'm done with such a service, and I will look for a different dentist! Sorry only for Mark. He does a great job, but I can't deal with receptionists who can't admit to their own mistakes and take accountability, but lies to you straight in the face!
Fantastic experience: 基督城靠谱可以说中文的牙医
Fantastic experience: Ronald and Daniel have been taking care of my dental work for the longest time and I couldn't recommend them more.
Negative experience: Despite spending over $2,500 at this practice in recent months, we were very disappointed by the reception staff’s (possibly Holly) lack of empathy when we called about an emergency toothache. Their dismissive attitude and the offer of an appointment 8 days later led us to seek a new dentist in Christchurch. Although Dr. Pamela is excellent, the reception team clearly does not prioritize patients who have been with them for years. The tooth required emergency extraction and medication for healing. The reception staff could greatly benefit from additional customer service training.
Fantastic experience: Best experience ever!! I have my dental clean with Amy. She’s so patient and friendly! I have sensitive teeth but this time I didn’t feel much pain. She was so gentle while clean my teeth. Keep giving me encouragement and feedback of my dental health. I live in city center of chch. Definitely worthy to drive for 20mins to come visit again!!
Fantastic experience: The team here are fabulous, all really friendly and kind. Pamela is a great dentist, very thorough and explains everything clearly. Would definitely recommend this practice.
Negative experience: I called them to make a booking. The lady was just rude, not really trying to listen to me and unfriendly.
Fantastic experience: We have have seeing the dentists here for over 15 years and have always has a good experience. They are easy to talk to while they explain the problem and what they intend to do. They have always been precise with their work as well as their quote. They definitely make smiling easier
Negative experience: I rung to ask when is the earliest possible appointment I could book. The person who answered the phone was abrupt and dismissive so I didn’t bother scheduling one. I just looked for another clinic even it’s far from my house.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Daniel by a friend and went today. What a pleasure it was to have Daniel look after me. He was so professional and explained everything that he was doing. I would highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Went here on recommendation of my brother,glad I did. Had 30 teeth extracted,over a period of time,and was treated superbly by Daniel and his team Daniel was clear,precise and honest with everything that was happening, with concise communication, necessary with the amount of work I required. Have already recommended to a friend
Fantastic experience: The absolute best staff here. Probably the most friendliness and professional experience had ever.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Friendly dentist with a smile.
Fantastic experience: Very good Dentist. Reasonable price.
Positive experience: 2022年3月15日,路过Hornby牙科诊所。
Fantastic experience: Professional, courteous and always kind - price exactly as quoted for my daughter's extractions pre-orthodontic work. I've been going to this dental centre approx 12 years and very happy with their service
Negative experience: Daniel Chan quoted me $170 for a tooth repair. I went back and had the work done. He charged me $200. That was a blatant rip off. I've since found a new dentist that's honest.
Hi Kenneth, I am sorry to hear about this unpleasant experience of yours. I have reviewed your file and the $30 difference was due to the additional radiograph being taken on the day. Otherwise the restorative work was still $170 as what I have quoted you.
Kind Regards
Daniel Chan
Fantastic experience: Efficient, professional and helpful
Fantastic experience: Have been using this dental Centre for approx 10 years, and wouldn't go anywhere else for price and friendliness.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Dr Daniel, not only are you totally professional in your practice. I also find you very calming to be around, important for this anxious patient!
Fantastic experience: Daniel is an amazing dentist - knowledgeable, professional and great with discussing his findings and treatment options. Lovely manner and takes good care of patient's interests. I highly recommend Dr Daniel Chan - one of the best dentists in Christchurch.
Fantastic experience: Our little boy had his filling with Daniel. He was super patient and very accommodating. Great service and awesome staff! Will definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Once again, I had tremendous service and I am again very happy with the result! Thank you! Mark was very caring and his expert knowledge really showed. Excellent value for money.
Negative experience: Omg what a bad experience I just had with a recepionst called Michelle an what a nasty lady she was with a shocking attitude . I have never had any receoonist in health care that bad in new Zealand. Or well good staff are hard to find.
We are sorry you had a bad experienced with our reception, and we are glad you have bought it up to our attention. Michelle is a fantastic long serving extremely professional and knowledgeable dental receptionist and we are incredibly surprised to receive such a comment like this. We presume there must be some misunderstanding. It is our policy to provide the best care possible to all our clients and treat them all with respect and dignity and compassion they deserve. Please feel free to call and speak to a senior dentist and we will see if we can rectify your issues on 3495059.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to mark since I was a child and he has always been the absolute gentlest when it comes to any unpleasant dental work that needs doing. I highly recommend him to any who ask. Hes a brilliant dentist.
Fantastic experience: Daniel Chan is the best, explains everything before doing it, asks if you are comfortable, Highly recommended. Both my husband and I have been to him and were more than happy, and we both needed urgent dental care.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Mark Wareing for cosmetic dental work at Hornby Dental Centre. I have been going to Mark for nearly 10 years now for check ups, and recently decided to get some cosmetic dental work done by him to fill in some gaps between my teeth. He done a brilliant job and I am so happy with my smile now, it has given my confidence a big boost.
Thanks for that. Am very pleased with the result.
Fantastic experience: I would thoroughly recommend Mark Wareing at Hornby dental surgery. He is a good dentist and has a way of helping patients like me with a phobia. No other dentist would fit me in, in their lunch break to have iv sedation and a tooth removed rather than leave me to suffer in pain.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service
Negative experience: Really really rude. Decided to not go with the appointment before I even went there, Michelle the receptionist isn't pleasant to deal with
Fantastic experience: Great friendly service thanks
