What our patients say about us

For more years than I am willing to reveal, I had avoided visiting a dentist because of a paralysing fear resulting from traumatic dental treatment in my youth. My teeth were in a shameful state.

Eventually I went to see Peter and his team who - without a word of exaggeration  -  have changed my life. Everyone at the practice has treated me so considerately. Peter promised me pain-free treatment, something I thought was simply impossible, but that is exactly what he and Carmen have delivered.

I used to hate my teeth and avoid even thinking about them. Now I feel so much better about them and have begun to look after them properly. The worry and the fear have completely gone. And, of course, I wish I had not wasted those years of worrying and being too afraid to go to a dentist.

I am/was a dental phobic, to the extent I could not even phone the practice when I finally decided I needed to overcome my phobia. I did my web research and emailed them; they got back to my by email and then phone and from there it has been great!

They deliver what they promise - pain free dentistry. They don't molly-coddle you but they are sensitive to your fears, give you choices, explain what is to happen, and are also really good people.

I have now been with them for a couple of years and slowly my teeth are becoming healthy. I am so glad that I found them and that they are truthful and approachable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to you.

I have been a patient at Blockhouse Bay Dental for about 8 years now. I have found the staff to be highly professional, caring and friendly. A visit to the dentist was never my favourite pastime, but I do enjoy my regular checkups, and the 'repair' work that is required. I feel I get great value for money, and that I am treated not as a 'client' but more a friend. And they prevent damage to my teeth through preventative work and identifying problems before they happen, which is great!

An appointment with the dentist I have never seen on anyones "wish list"; and then there is sitting in the waiting room for the appointment with the personal sense of trepidation of things to come. Blockhouse Bay Dental Centre is still not on my "wish list" of visits, but it is close, and that has been created by the long term personnel that have made my visits warm and welcoming while remaining professional, and that is why I have chosen to remain a client for over 25 years.

My wife Gail and I have been very satisfied customers of Dr Haydn Gray and the Blockhouse Bay Dental Centre for the past eight years.

The treatment and service we have received from Haydn is of the highest quality, and the facilities and service at the Centre are first class.

Our thanks to all.
