The Dental Walrus: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dental Walrus, friendly service, and fitted me in promptly. Fair prices doing a great service to the community, not fuelled by corporate greed - skip the big corporate dentists, as Walrus have you covered. Honest and clear when explaining the work needed.
Fantastic experience: Most professional and friendly team. Work done to the highest standard.
Fantastic experience: Such a lovely team and very thorough. Will definitely be back for my check ups!
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my checkup here, I felt like they were very detailed and explained everything that was going on. Lovely calm atmosphere and the Dental assistant was so kind! See you again next year!
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience here! The staff were super friendly and professional, putting in a lot of effort to ensure a great job. They were easy to contact and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. I don't usually write reviews, but I was so impressed and happy with my treatment. They explained the entire process to me, and I left with much more dental knowledge than when I arrived. I would definitely recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Stephen and May are super friendly, took the time to listen and talk through anything I wasn't sure about. The room is spacious and catches lots of natural light. Looking forward to my next clean.
Negative experience: Bad. Went here for an urgent appointment a few years ago. Wire detached from one of my teeth and needed fixing. Dentist and his mum worked on me. Seemed like the mum who was acting as the nurse was the one actually in charge as others have said. Found out when I went to pay that they didn't accept credit cards so forked out in cash for the procedure. After I paid the mum skirted around me to unlock the dead bolted door to let me out. I've never in my life before or since been locked in a business to ensure I paid. Dehumanizing experience all in all and would not recommend. The wire fell out again a month later, so the work wasn't even good.
Fantastic experience: A really good dentist you can trust, I warmly recommand. He was listening to me, explained each step and often showed me what he was about to do with a small mirror. I really feel at ease knowing what was happening. We need more dentist like that !
Fantastic experience: Exceptional service and treatment over the weekend when I needed urgent care. VERY fair prices - recommend to all
Fantastic experience: The Dental Walrus took me in for an appointment straight away at short notice after one of my teeth broke. Got it all fixed for me and at an affordable price too. Will highly recommend to friends and family
Fantastic experience: It was nice to see them trying to make patients feel comfortable and communicate. Reservation went through quickly, so it was nice to be able to receive treatment the very next day.
Fantastic experience: I come from Germany and was travelling around New Zealand, when in recognised some toothache. I called the Dental Walrus and got an appointment at the same day. The staff was super friendly and did an awesome job! I‘m often very nervous at the dentist but I felt super safe there! I would definitely recommend this place :)
Fantastic experience: Very friendly doctor and nurse. They took a lot of time and listen to your needs. Can only recommend - thanks!
Fantastic experience: Got my teeth checked and filled. They did an amazing job very friendly staff and great service. Just an amazing experience overall would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Affordable, and Professional. My upper teeth filling fell off, he checked overall and found another nearly broken filling. He explained what to do and patiently fixed them also other my lower teeth are complicated, he protected them beforehand, thanks a lot.. They are also friendly, I recommend to anyone who needs to see the dentist in NZ.
Positive experience: Been there last year, but just suddenly think that I should leave my experience here. Doctors are skillful, and the price can be consider as the cheapest in Dunedin. The problem is, during a check-up or cleaning process, a nurse-like mom? Nagging non-stop by the side, if they find that your tooth is not so clean or good, she keep nagging by the side (eg: how dirty you teeth look like - in a harsh way). The confidence of the doctor is under suspicion, and every examination is a question sentence (eg: I think this should be compared to, I think..., I think it may be?) Then the mother nurse will answer the question for him (give him confidence? ). It made me think who is the doctor, and I started to be afraid. Overall, the process went well, but the nurse was so annoying that I don't know if I want to be get this experience again next time. Although I understand it's for our own good, but it's too much, it feels like a mother teaching her child. Hopefully nurse experience can be a little bit professional and be patience, thanks.
Fantastic experience: One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a dentist.
Fantastic experience: The price of dental services made us feel worried to see the dentists. Until I can not eat any kind of meat, I tried to go to a dentist who had the best reviews in Dunedin. After seeing him, I regretted not to see him earlier :). You have to see him if you are looking for a good experienced dentist and also the most affordable dental clinic in Dunedin. Thank you very much, we need more and more dentists as you.
Fantastic experience: Super careful and patient dentist! The whole team was very open and thorough with the appointment. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: The team at The Dental Walrus are fantastic. Dr. Stephen really impressed me with both quality of work and attitude. If you are a bit scared of the dentist and want someone patient and kind, look no further!
Fantastic experience: Very good service and ultra-professional. Its difficult to imagine that going to the dentist could ever be enjoyable but somehow Dental Walrus manages to lighten the experience. I would not hesitate to recommend them!
Fantastic experience: My old filling fell off the other day. Rang them for emergency treatment and they were able to make time for my appointment. Awesome experience! Took my partner today to get his teeth done and he also said he doesn’t have to worry his teeth anymore! May is very friendly and caring at all times. Professional treatment. Great explanation before and after each treatment. One of the best dental practice! Will definitely come back if needed and STRONGLY recommended. Thank you Dr. Stephen and May so much.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best dental experience I have ever had. Stephen is thorough, explains every step of the way and shows you what he is doing at each stage. I love the family atmosphere and we all had lots of laughs which made the experience infinitely better than any I have had.. and it was the best price in town! I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend this dental practice :)
Fantastic experience: A few words to describe the folk at this practise; humble, hardworking, diligent, thorough, pleasant and reasonable. Great service and pricing that is, without a doubt, the best in Dunedin. More than highly recommended!
