I have been going to Parnell Dentistry now for many years and I have found the attention I receive from all have been wonderful.
I am a coward of the highest order, and I get listened to and made very comfortable to the extent now I do not have a fears when my appointment comes up.
A few member of my family also attend this Dentistry and they too feel the same.
The friendliness and care is wonderful.

Can't speak highly enough of these guys.
I had to go here on a Saturday as an emergency as i was in a lot of pain - even though they were fully booked they still took time to see me because of my discomfort.
The receptionist was very pleasant and helpful and the dentist himself was amazing.
Made my experience as painless as possible and was very patient with me as I am very nervous in the dentist...
100% recommend

I have been going to Parnell Dentistry for around 20 years or more and never had any issues.
The staff have always been very friendly and professional.
I get notified when I'm due for a checkup and booking online is very easy.
Highly recommend Andrea and the team at Parnell Dentistry.
