I've given 5 Stars for Drs Beigi and Kleinig. They are wonderful, and mostly run on time. The reception staff are always kind and helpful, letting you know if they are running behind, and getting the nurse to answer basic questions.

I've been going there for about 4 years now, and even my 6yo son finds it comfortable.
Consultations never seem rushed, and you don't walk away feeling like they have shoved at script at you to make you hurry.

Approximate cost: $65

The burgers, chips and potato scallops are fantastic. The fish tends to be hit and miss.

The burgers always taste fresh and have good salad. I usually get the hamburger with cheese and bacon, and it is a little bit of heaven after a long day.

Chips and potato scallops are almost always well cooked, and with just the right amount of salty goodness.

We've been going there for about 4 years now.

Approximate cost: $10

They make lovely coffee and milkshakes. Owner is a lovely lady. Haven't had a chance to look at their food but prices appear quite good.
They do catering too.

A nice place to stop in.

Fantastic service and atmosphere, the staff are lovely.

My dish was wonderful, but my friend's mild salad came out way too spicy (group dinner, she's not big on hot food).

Everything was fresh, and well presented. Service was very timely, even though it was busy.

I will definitely go back.

Approximate cost: $16 - 21

I went to get my nails done for a party. I had some pictures and Yung had a look and completed a test nail. I loved it, and she did the full set.
We had a little chat, and she was so focused on making them just right. Beautiful icy blue glitter gradient acrylics on clear - like something from Frozen.
She didn't rush, or go back and forth between clients.
So happy!

This review is for Battery World, Enoggera QLD

The staff there were very knowledgeable, and were willing to go to the supplier to get another battery (dual battery truck). After using their testing service, we just got the one.

The staff took their time and gave excellent service.

Approximate cost: $100-200

Drs Mei and Julian are simply brilliant. Never have I felt so relaxed at a dentist. The reception staff are wonderful, always happy and helpful. My husband and I, our 5yo son and my husband's parents all go there now.

Children get a balloon for their check ups, which makes it feel less stressful.

My teeth are in the best condition in a long time thanks to Dr Mei, it is so much easier to get dental care when you are in a warm, friendly and relaxed environment.

Approximate cost: $100-300

This review is for Algester Dental, Algester QLD

I did not have a good experience at Algester Dental. I went in for a toothache, and the Dentist made a joke about needing braces. I am 33 and well aware that my teeth are not straight.

Additionally, the filling did not settle, and one week later I required an emergency root canal at an endodontist ($1500+).
I have since found a better family dentist, who was so good they now treat my In-Laws too.

Approximate cost: $400

This review is for Lens Pro, Mount Gravatt QLD

I went to Lenspro after having a dubious prescription at another optometrist. Sabrina was very helpful, and took the time to retest my eyes, confirming the other script wasn't right.
She made sure that my eyes were comfortable with the new lens values, and did a contact lens fitting.
She was wonderful, because she took the time to listen to my concerns rather than brushing me off.
I would recommend!

Toni makes the most delicious pizzas, I can't recommend them enough. The crusts are just perfect, not too doughy or chewy. Their pepperoni is spicy, but just right.
