You know when you're looking for a new hairstylist and you are trying to find that perfect person…read morethat is not just going to get you in and out of their chair as fast as possible? The kind of hairstylist that will take the time at every appointment to ask all the right questions because perhaps you don't know how to ask, or maybe you're not even sure what you have in mind that day? Or how about when you are looking to find the best, honest mechanic in town that isn't going to rip you off because they know they could, but you want to leave the shop knowing your car is safe and isn't going to make that exact same noise in a week or two? Maybe you're not the type of person that cares to find the best of the best, but I am. I've always been very particular about my oral health and I used to leave my previous dentist office feeling like I was getting booked in for treatments I didn't need, they were redoing previous work that was done and had "failed," and after getting fillings done I always felt like my gums were all cut up, my teeth were super sensitive, there was residual products stuck to my teeth and I always had to go back for bite adjustments. I've been looking for someone to care about my teeth as if they were their own. At Whirlaway Dental, I can finally say I've found that. Dr. Negaar Nadji takes the time to listen to my questions and concerns and give me her recommendations as if my teeth were hers or her children's. As a new mom myself, I can't wait to bring my kids here as they grow and I can honestly say finding the perfect dentist has been happily checked off my list.

I am so sad for myself that Bo is retiring soon, but he has good things to say about the dentist who will be replacing him. Bo is quite an entertaining character as well as being an excellent dentist who explains everything. I have had great service from his gentle and patient hygienist and his office staff, to whom I have always felt like I was a real person and not simply a name on a chart or spreadsheet. I assume they'll be staying on. I'm guessing most of the gorgeous art books will go with Dr Bo, but the lobby will still be beautifully decorated and there's a harbor view from the chairs, or a home improvement channel on the overhead TV. Try it!

The worst place you could possibly go in Victoria. After a disastrous experience, my 88-year-old…read moremother who can't travel was told by rude and incompetent Dr. Andrews that she should go back to Mexico he can't help her anymore! True story. A year later after asking to be referred to a different dentist at this "group" we were told sorry we can't help your mother who has broken a tooth and needs urgent assistance. FYI, the written estimate was only $300 to tighten my mother's loose bridge, and I warned her it would only become worse, take a year of visits, and cost thousands to start over with new implants. But the dentist said it's simple to tighten the screw, she said, and it won't cost much at all. After breaking the bridge, she was left with nothing to eat with for months, had to go to a specialist downtown, and $15,000, and one inconvenient, painful year later, she had new implants and a bridge that wasn't loose. Don't even think about using this place unless you're prepared to hire a lawyer afterward to get compensation for expenses due to deceptive marketing and malpractice.
