I meet Dr Mumford accidentally. After tripping over our trailer at storage and face planting the concrete I snapped my front tooth straight off. The next person to drive into storage was Dr Mumford. He saw me sitting there and asked if I was ok. After explaining what had happened he showed immense care and compassion. I was in the process of searching for an emergency dentist. Dr Mumford immediately put himself forward to help, even thought he was on holidays. He opened his surgery for me and reattached my tooth with so much care and competence. My husband, 2 children and I have found our new dentist. I will forever be grateful to this kind and brilliant man who came to the aid of a complete stranger.

I was happy to help

Dr Mumford was amazing as he came into the surgery during his Xmas holiday break to fix my broken shattered tooth.
He did a fabulous job. I now have a full tooth and you cannot see which is not real.
He is a genius and master of his art.
Very happy to recommend.

Dr Mumford & his dental nurse are the best! Very funny, make you feel relaxed, kind & caring. I’ve had so much dental work with different dentists & Dr Mumford is by far the best dentist I’ve ever been to. He 100% all about you & not about the money. The nurse is a total delight & the surgery is spectacular! Highly recommend!

Many thanks for your kind comments

Dr Mumford & his Dental Assistant are absolutely lovely & professional. They made me feel at ease immediately & Dr Mumford did an excellent job at fixing my broken tooth. Cost was very reasonable, he clearly does this to help & care for others & not for the money. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough!

Dr Mumford is wonderful. He is funny, extremely passionate, patient and most thorough dentist I've ever met. I've recommended him to many friends and family and will continue to do so.

Thank you for recommending the Dorsal Appliance for my condition. Your consultation is the best and service provided is at a very caring standard. Thank you for improving my lifestyle.

Each time I visit Richard, which should be more regular, I experience his great attention to detail and Richard's dedication to my overall dental health care. Always with the utmost of care and sensible and professional advice, Richard is able to provide all dental procedure options for me to consider and I walk away knowing that I received nothing less than his best efforts to achieve the best possible outcome.
Thank you, again! Richard, you are greatly appreciated and fall into a special [and possibly diminishing] category - that of a professional whom places the best interests of his patients above everything else. And your monologues are so entertaining! Best Regards, Peter Kenney

I'd heard about the anti snoring devices and needed a dentist who could make up an anti snoring mouthguard device for my chronic snoring. Richard did a fabulous job. He took a mold of my teeth and had the device made and fitted within a couple of weeks. I now use it every night. I sleep much better and wake up refreshed and my wife doesn't have to sleep in the spare room any more! Thanks Richard.

Glad to hear about your relief Michael

I hadn't been to the dentist for a couple of years and was concerned about a molar filling, so decided to book an appointment with Richard. So glad I did. He was fabulous - gentle and professional. I barely felt the injection for the filling and the procedure was quick and painless. Excellent dentist and excellent value. I'd highly recommend him for the whole family.

Thanks Sue. I appreciate your compliment

Im so glad i found dr mumford. My neglected teeth are now in good hands. Felt comfortable from the moment i walked in. No mucking around with unnecessary servicing. No bill shock. Great sense of humour too.

A dentist that will make you laugh? Look no further Richard's your man! Amazing with kids, puts them at ease, professional friendly approach. His nurse is a beautiful soul and makes you feel very welcome when you arrive. My family has been seeing Richard for over 10 years, he comes highly recommended and can be relied on to give outstanding dental service.

Many thanks for your kind words Shelley

I have been to several dentist and have found these guys are the best. I got some fillings done which were affordable and fast.

Great price for porcelains was quoted over $1500 for a broken tooth at other places. Painless and easy to deal with.

We visited Dr Mumford yesterday for a tooth extraction for my 12 year old son. Dr Mumford was extremely reassuring to my nervous son. He was knowledgeable, soothing and skilled too, which was a great help for me and my son! I would highly recommend him, a lovely old school dentist. He took the time to explain the procedure and he gave my son (and me) every confidence in his ability. A really good dental experience.

Thanks Emma. I appreciate your comments

I regularly attend Dr Richard Mumford's surgery for check ups every six months. His work is excellent and I've never had a problem. My best experience was when he replaced a crown on a front tooth a couple of years ago and it is the best one I've ever had - three previous crowns on this tooth. It feels exactly the same as a real tooth, which is rare. In the past, I've had to attend different people to get a crown made, and fitted, so this experience was a great relief, as it was all done by one person. The crown was gold with porcelain, made in Australia, not a cheapo from anywhere else in our region. His rates are lower than the norm, and this is a plus for me, as a retiree. His surgery is very central, being in Archer Street, Chatswood...and let's face it, you can't go past a man with a sense of humour.

Approximate cost: $1400

Thanks for your kind words Lynn. It is an important part of my practice philosophy that ,unlike most other Dentists, I only use crowns made in Australia with TGA safety and quality approved materials. I wish more patients asked their Dentists where their crowns came from.

My family has been going to Dr Mumford for over 10 years. He is the best Dentist I have ever been to. He is well priced, quick, painless and professional. I also love his Receptionist.

Thanks Bonnie. I really appreciate you taking the trouble to say these nice things

I attended Dr Mumfords surgery on October 7, 2014 for an annual check up, cleaning, and repair to a chipped tooth. I was very pleased with Dr Mumford's attention. He is the only dentist I have ever been to who could make me laugh! Everything about his surgery is good: the foyer lounge is really comfortable, his assistant/receptionist is friendly, and the cost of all this is very reasonable -- below the usual rate which I, as a pensioner, really appreciate. The other thing to mention is that Dr Mumford gave me a good overview of what he had done and why, and the general condition of my teeth.

Approximate cost: $233

Thanks Suzanne. I am grateful that you appreciate our efforts.

I first went to Richard Mumford after losing a filling over a holiday period many years ago. He was efficient, professional and available in an emergency and continues to be so. He has treated me and my children and now my grandchildren with that same courtesy and care. He also has a quirky sense of humour that takes the sting out of going to the dentist. I would recommend him highly.

Approximate cost: $200-?

Thanks Christine. I really appreciate your kind words

My sister introduced me to Richard Mumford 30 years ago. My family and I have been treated by him ever since. His courtsesy, professionalism and dental treatment has always been of a very high standard. I would happily recommend Chatswood Family Dental Care to everyone!

Thank you very much for these kind words. I really appreciate patients such as yourself who have travelled so far at times over the years to see me.

Richard Mumford has been our dentist for over 30yrs and during that time has performed a variety of dental services for us both, always with outstanding care, always with complete details as to what had to be done, carried out with a minimum of fuss and time and a caring attitude. He would be our first and only recommendation for dental care.

I am flattered by these kind words from some of my long term patients. I am especially glad that we have found time to look after your teeth amongst the many entertaining discussions we have had over the years.

I first met Richard nearly 30 years ago, when he was the emergency locum and I needed to see a dentist in a hurry; I've been going back ever since. Ever the professional, always up-to-date, and I've yet to feel any pain (yes, really!). He puts the patient first, which is a rare quality. Thanks Richard!

Thanks Ian. Its been an honour to look after you and your friends all these years

My family have been seeing Dr Richard Mumford for over 10 years. Richard has always put patient's interest first, very professional and trustworthy. During the regular check-ups Richard is focused on prevention and early detection. He has educated our children and whole family about dental health. The major dentistry work was successful.

Thanks Sarah. I really enjoy looking after families such as yours.

I found Richard to be the best dentist I have ever been to and I am lucky to have all my original teeth or albeit with many fillings. I used to dread going to dentist but now I look forward to it.

Thanks Philip. Its great treating patients of all ages, especially those such as yourself when there's never a dull moment.

Having had Richard tend to the dental care of myself and my entire extended family for over 20 years I can say his professionalism and ongoing attention to overall dental management is comforting, easy and painless. I highly respect his judgement and ongoing advice. After all, these teeth have to last me my whole life... so Thank You Richard!!!

Thanks Sonia. Something I really appreciate about this profession are the number of people who have given me the honour of looking after them for over 20 years.
