Was told to have him see a dentist in Ontario. Called the after hours help line for 3.5 hours till the call was put through. In the mean time got him an appointment to see a dentist. Finally spoke to the after hours oral surgeon from South Calgary Oral surgery who immediately called in antibiotics because my son was feeling the pain going down the left side of his neck. He also saw the dentist who was barely able to see inside his mouth because it was so swollen. The antibiotics worked but my son had other friends getting their wisdom teeth out at the same time and had no problems and were all prescribed antibiotics after surgery. Plus they all received daily follow-up phone calls and text messages. We never did receive another call from Foundation Oral Surgery. Once the bill was paid there was zero follow up care.

The day of my appointment I walked in expecting to get the extraction done and Dr.Herget took an X-ray and told me I have lots of good tooth left and a root canal was an option to save my tooth. I was worried about the cost and wasn't sure. He gave me a week to figure things out and went back a week later for the root canal! Most intense procedure I've been through ever, the numbing wasn't taking but he ensured that it did! 2 weeks later I have 0 tooth pain and am SOOO happy I listened to him!! Two thumbs up! Will be going back for a crown ASAP! Thanks Dr.Herget for saving my smile

That's right, I'm going to review my dentist…read more First, some background: I like beer. I especially like beer out of a bottle. This past Saturday I was enjoying said beverage when I banged my false front tooth on the bottle and knocked it out (classy, I know). This is not the first time this has happened. For those of you who know me, this particular tooth was bonded with a fake at the budding age of 6 when a friends' little brother threw a step ladder at me, and, in 1999; in a coffee cup incident; it was knocked loose and rebonded again. I have been going to Harker Chan and Associates for about three years and I called Dr. Harker about correcting my sudden hillbilliness Sunday morning. He graciously answered even though I called a personal number and offered to come in early the next day to get me fixed. I was in and out of his office in a half hour. To say that this man is anything short of a perfectionist would be an understatement. He is quick, professional and knows his work. His portfolio of veneered teeth is impressive; I have seen few veneers that look so natural. Now I can't review the entire practice without also talking about Dr. Chan (Dr. Chan is my regular doctor there, who rocks ps, but Dr. Harker has worked on my false tooth before and is the cosmetic surgeon, hence my call to him). Dr. Chan is prompt, lively and professional. When I was slated to have my wisdom teeth removed; without sedation, Dr. Chan had me back at work in less than a day. This guy knows his dental surgery. These men have ground, filled, bonded, poked and prodded my teeth for three years and I'm always relaxed in their chair. Their staff is friendly, smart and all have a very gentile touch. I recommend either doctor to anyone looking for a new dentist. T.

His motto is that he caters to cowards and I have always been a coward when it comes to dentist offices. I had some bad experiences when I was young. However, Dr. Harker works very hard to make you feel at ease and keeps everything that he does pain free. I have only good things to say about Dr. Harker and his office. Thanks Dr. Harker for keeping my teeth looking great. Marilyn N.

Dr. Peter Rendek is the second dentist I've visited in Calgary and after my initial visit I'm happy…read moreto say he is also my current dentist :). When I first moved to Calgary I visited a dentist DT that was inconveniently located, didn't have free parking and charged exorbitant prices! I felt locked in for the 1st year after paying for the initial exam and x-rays, so I put up with it. He was a recommendation that didn't pan out, so when it was time for my annual x-rays I was determined to find a proper dentist that wasn't just out to max out my insurance coverage like the place DT. I had some luck finding qualified professionals in my area for my other medical needs on RateMDs, so once again I turned to this online review site specifically set-up for reviewing health professionals. A quick search yielded the top reviewed dentists in Calgary, #1 & #2 weren't accepting patients but #3 was surprisingly, a "Dr. Peter Rendek" (Note: he's since slipped a bit in ranking due to some harsh recent reviews that I don't agree with, read on for my perspective). He was really well received, and his reviews made him out as an honest and fair priced dentist with a great team of professionals behind him, a guy who cares about his clients and isn't just looking for a pay cheque. Sounded awesome to me! I found his clinic's website on Google, pretty plain and can probably use a bit of an update/tweak but the mandatories are there. The icing on the cake is he's located right in my neighbourhood, this was seeming too good to be true! So I went ahead and booked my appointment, I was happy I got squeezed in right away. My fiancé wasn't as lucky, she was quoted 3-4 weeks, so I must have snagged the last opening. They are open only M-Th 8:00am/9:00am-4:00pm depending on the day, so pretty limited hours and slots. I would advise booking your appointment well in advance! The clinic itself is located in a mini-commercial complex on the corner of Heritage and Elbow amongst other businesses. It's an older brick building but it's easy to get to, the parking is adequate, includes underground spots and is free! The dentist office is specifically located on the second floors northeast corner. I have posted a picture of the entrance :). Despite the building looking a bit dreary the dental clinic itself feels warm and welcoming once you let yourself in. The front end staff did a great job getting my credentials on the phone ahead of my visit to speed up the process and get me in and out efficiently. I've now visited twice and on both occasions the front end staff have been very warm and welcoming, without any lack of professionalism. I am also pleased that they offer direct submission for both my benefits and my spouse's, making my life much easier! There wasn't any unnecessary semantics, I always appreciate professionals being conscious and respectful of time. They also offer an e-mail reminder for appointments, reply to confirm. The RDH Jillian performed my cleaning/check-up on both occasions, she is very polite, professional and good at her job. I also like how she doesn't come off a judgemental or condescending like some other hygienists have been to me before; you know the one's who make you feel bad if your teeth aren't perfect? Well, I didn't have any of that here! Nothing but smiles :). As per usual dental clinic practice, the dentist comes out at the end for final examination. Dr. Rendek or Pete is a great guy; he's friendly, diligent and not afraid to answer any questions you might have. The only thing this clinic was missing is the usual TVs to watch during your apt., hopefully that's not a deal breaker for you because the people here are great, the prices are right and like the reviews indicated they're honest and care about their clients! Plus they have massage chairs which makes up for it ;). Pretty shocked by some of the recent bad press on RateMDs, I wouldn't give them much weight, check out the practice for yourself. I'm glad I did!
