I let them know that I have a child home with me, and they literally put me on hold to see if it was alright, then came back on, and even though they called me for that day- told me to stick to the original date. I had to actually convince them to let me book a cleaning. Good hygenist, very caring. When it came time to book for the gum treatment, they wanteed $150 just to meet with the dentist. This is not to get any gum recession work done, but - they cancelled the appt. for next week which included a dentist, so wanting to bill me for two separate visits didn't seem right. Not a solid first experience.

Not sure why there is good reviews for this dentist.

Well that was a mistake, had to go in on Wednesday as it's there only day open to times for people who work. Was at the appointment for almost 2 hours because the dentist kept leaving the room. Missed freezing my tooth 3 times (third needle she jammed into the bone of my jaw) so 40 minutes of drilling an unfrozen tooth. Than leaves the room again after she drills it for another 30 minutes (keep in mind there's an open hole in my tooth during this time). Also the hygienist squirted me multiple times on the arms and chest and multiple times forgot to turn on the suction while working on my mouth. Absolute travesty of a dentist. Strongly recommend avoiding!

In looking for a Dentist listed as participating in the new CDCP (Fed. dental insurance program) I…read morecalled Nia Dental and had a friendly conversation with Tara, I believe. She shared with me that as a new patient there would be a 2 hour plus initial examination and the price would be $269. and this price was based on the Ontario Dental Association Schedule, I asked what the CDCP would cover and that number assuming 100% of the CDCP pricing schedule would be $157. The government is providing me with 40% coverage of the CDCP schedule, which would leave me to pay the remaining 60% or $94. However Nia's charge is $269 or $112 above the government schedule. Therefore I would be paying the $112 delta on the two pricing schedules (ODA vs. CDCP) plus the 60% not covered by the government plan for a total of $206. which is significantly above what the government has deemed to be a standard fee. I'm left with the impression that either Nia, backed by ODA data is setting very a aggressive price or the government plan is providing completely inadequate coverage. I call SunLife, the plan administrator, and their only advise was "shop around".

Alert - this office has recently gotten involved in a family dispute between my husband and his…read moreex-wife as evidenced by harassin my husband while at work for his credit card number to pay for his children's dental appointments as according to them "it is the law as his birthday comes first". My husband was hesistant to give them our credit card, given his children have been patients of this office for five plus years and they have never asked for this before so each time they called he said I will call you back, as he wanted to look into the matter. On the last time they called, I spoke with the billing secretary and explained to her that it was my understanding that given we don't have the relationship with the office, nor did we sign any contract for care, it was inappropriate to bill our credit card due to his birthday coming first. She actually argued with me and after I brought up the fact that his daughter had reached the cap on orthodontic treatment and there was nothing to send to our plan regardless, she then told me it was office policy to have his number but could not eplain why they haven't needed it for the past five plus years. Furthermore, I calmly explained to her that this billing situation was complicated as the children have THREE plans and my husband;s exwife REFUSES to have the dentist use my plan (which we cannot force her or the office to do) and that I would appreciate that unless there is an issue with my plan or my husband's plan to please not call and harrass us with this "new" office policy as we would not ever be complying. To make matters worse, the next time my step-daughter was in the office, this same administrative person apparently told her and her mother that she is sorry that they have to deal with me because I called the office and screamed at her so loud that her other clients could hear me. Given I was actually at work (in a government office building neverthelss) AND I have witnesses to the conversation that at no time did I scream, but I did speak firmly on how unappreciative we were to the repeated phone calls etc. We then sent a letter to Dr. Ferguson to complain about the lack of professionalism and slander of my name by his staff (over a month ago) and to date this has not been answered in any form. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the Better Business Burerau and the Ontario Dental Association as recommended by my own dentist office as they have expressed how mortified they would be if this happened at their office.

After moving to Barrie and trying several dentist we came across Dr. Ford and his team by accident…read more And thank goodness. We came from a dentist who found 13 holes in my teeth (I visit a dentist usually every 6 months) to Dr. Ford who found one. Even though I knew the other dentist was scamming for money Dr. Ford would still not say anything bad about the dentist. He won't waste your time or money. We have insurance and he'll still choose a course of treatment that's comfortable for you. He believes that you shouldn't touch teeth unnecessarily. His team is amazing with my kids. I came in once and they had their stuffed animals with them. When I came back again a month later they all remembered the stuffed animals names and made the kids feel so comfortable and important. Even though dr. Ford is a no nonsense kind of guy my kids love him (and my son is afraid of most things). They pretend to be him during play. We couldn't have found a more honest, sincere group of people. I would never go to see another dentist.

SERIOUSLY! A positive thing was the Dr Lee's attention to my needs. The other was the techs. I had an anxiety attack from being in the chair for over an hour. I told the hygienist that I was having pain in my back and around scarred areas. She seemed preoccupied with finishing up and getting me out. She offered no help. I had a planned visit for just xrays and assessment. I was there well over 2 hours and the claim they submitted did not include the extras that were not planned or discussed. The future claim was also short on some items which would have costed me many more dollars. Please do your homework before consenting to treatments.
