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.

I used to go to Dr. Joe when I was a kid. Moved back to the city and wanted to go to him again but…read morequickly learned that he does not bill insurance directly.

Aside from their prime location, all of their staff are patient, welcoming, and very accommodating. If you are looking to get your teeth cleaned, ask for Melody! She is the hygienist that took exceptional care of my teeth, making the cleaning process seamless.

My parents ended up visiting Dr. Jonathan for cleanings, fillings, and wisdom teeth removal(s) - all of which were quick (yet thorough) and painless - merely depicting the Stern Office's ability to create a comforting environment that will encourage you to visit their office for regular cleanings or any of your other dental needs! You allllready know that cleanliness is a huuuge factor for me; by observing the number of stars I have given this practice, undoubtedly the Stern Dental Office passes my test!

Unfortunately, I also feel pushed to get certain procedures done. I had 6 cavities done over 5 years at Bite, but last year they told me that the cavities had to be refilled. I went to another dentist and those cavities were not an issue. The last straw for me was when they mixed up my dental appointments twice and I had to call to confirm my appointment date. I appreciate reminders, but getting dates mixed up seem to be a subtle way to recall me more frequently. I feel bad for Bite because it used to be an amazing clinic with dentists and hygienists, but the high turnover and business operations pushed me to go with another dentistry.

Why do dental clinics claim to be good for nervous patients when they are not. Please be honest…read more It's impossible to get an honest review on anything anymore so here is one for you. Kingwest Dental does not care for nervous patients with care. They refuse to re-do my nightguard (one of the reasons I switch dentists was to get the 3D tech for the nightguard production) as it does not fit. They don't care, they already got their money. My teeth hurt. My coverage is only for one nightguard (obviously) and they wont help. The last cleaning I had the woman gouged me and also put the blood and plaque on my shirt and in my hair and was pretty mean and rude to me. I felt afraid halfway through and my neck was hurting so I asked for a rest. She typed on the computer with the same gloves she was using to go into my mouth. It made me feel sick. Finally, I'll say that I specifically noted that I need female clinicians (i'm a survivor of violence, which I shared in confidence) and they didn't respect that .I guess they found it amusing to see me panicked as the male dentist came to check in on me on my second visit. I gave them one more chance after that and that is when I got butchered and covered in gunk. Super nasty. Very disappointing.

It's the first time in my life that I pay so much money for a filling that broke twice. Every time I stepped in this clinic I had the feeling to be a pray. It seems really obvious to me that money is more important than the patient itself. I also found that there is a will to scare you in getting more done that you actually need, and reading other reviews is confirming this idea. I am also running away because I don't like that strategy that many clinic have to evaluate how much money your insurance covers and schedule random checks threw the year to get that money event if that's not necessary.

His office will communicate via email which is wonderful, and sometime it will be Dr. Hao who follows up himself if he's checking on a particularly difficult tooth or recent surgery. His office has gone above and beyond to help me out when I have been in an emergency situation, I know they've stayed late or missed lunch hours for patients before. I've had many other dentists in the city, but this one is by far the best. I highly recommend Dr. Hao and the team at 720 Dental.

And also he sent a followup email after my last visit to check that there were no issues. Other staff there are very friendly too. Highly recommend.

Love Dr B and all the staff!…read more First found this practice when I had a dental emergency - his was the first local practice that managed to fit me in same day, and I couldn't be more thrilled to have stumbled upon them.

I moved to Toronto two years ago and started coming to Harbord Dentistry since it was nearby my apartment and reviewed well and I have no regrets! My old dentist used very traditional methods and never really communicated with me as to what was happening with my dental hygiene or what steps I could take to make improvements on it - it was in the door and out as fast as possible and the barrier of communication caused my dental hygiene to suffer over the years. Dr. Baradaran and his team however are some of the friendliest people I have ever met! They schedule appointments to be longer than needed which means Dr. B has plenty of face to face time with you and can answer questions or fill you in on what's happening with your mouth and his team have given me advice on how to improve my hygiene routine. Additionally the hygenists are incredibly patient and are very accommodating with my gag problem and always make sure I am comfortable above all else. Whenever they need to do something they will tell me ahead of time and not only let me know what procedure they're doing but also why they're doing it and what it will do to help my mouth. It truly was a night and day experience coming here after my old dentist and it has helped me see just how much difference there is between traditional and modern dentistry. I'm definitely going to continue coming here as long as I'm living in the GTA.
