Report
The visit was great. At no time did I view anything that made me feel uncomfortable. I was directed right into the examination room where the room had been thoroughly disinfected and there was an air cleaner running at all times. As always the staff was friendly and efficient. Natalie was great as usual and always makes sure I am ok!

From Betty Ting:
The day I visited, Dr Hunter wasnt there. The clinic is warm and clean throughout.
Kelly was very kind to help me fill out the form. The hygienist (Marta?) who x-rayed and clean my teeth did a very thorough job.
However, I have only a minor comment related to the appointment reminder message sent to my cell phone: It first asked me to confirm the appointment, then followed by a long message asking if I have covid symptoms, then asked me to confirm by typing Y. I was hesitant to type Y as it may mean yes to having covid symptoms. Perhaps the message would be clearer

I've been a patient here for 25 years or longer. From the front dental support staff, to the assistants and hygienists (I especially love Marta who is so great with me and my severe dental anxiety), to Dr. Hunter. I commute an hour one way to remain as a patient here after moving from Markham over 18 yrs ago. They really listen and hear you here.
