I decided on this dentist/business as a direct result of family recommendations and the reviews on WOMO as we are new to Melbourne and the area.
Dr Halkyard and the assistants at the front desk were wonderful.
Very friendly, kind and welcoming. This was particularly important as the checkup was for my two young daughters.
Dr Halkyard was engaging with the girls and explained everything that he was doing to make them feel very comfortable and safe.

Bright and spacious waiting room, easy enough to get a park out the front and a 'hicaps' machine to enable you to claim direct from your health insurance fund.

Great Service all round!

This dentist is really one of the best. He has a very direct yet calm manner and is very thorough and efficient. He has a very good way with children even my daughter who was less than keen on having any dental treatment. I have found the prices very reasonable when talking to other people about what they pay. Always runs on time too, and has fantastic, polite support staff, receptionists etc.

I often recommend him to people.

I have to agree, as far as dentists go, lol, this is a good one..

I also like the way he takes photos to actually show you what is wrong before doing anything..

Comparatively he is not actually expensive, on the lower end of the dentist price range yet he still takes his time and you don't feel rushed or like he isn't keeping you fully informed of your options..

I've been to many dentists and come back feeling like they have done a very ordinary and rushed clean of my teeth. This dentist spends more time making sure he has reached every cranny and nook.

I really like Dr Halkyard, he doesn't rush you, takes the time to explain what he is looking at and discusses treatment options. He isn't pushy and understands that with the cost of dental treatment, some things can't be done immediately and temporary remedies might be necessary. He gives you the time you need, rather than just the allocated appointment time, and is always clean and fresh smelling. Considering my childhood dentist always smelled of sour milk or tuna, this is a definite plus!!!

Dr Halkyard is fabulous! He is thorough, kind, friendly and explains everything to you. In addition to that, he takes images of your teeth, pausing throughout the consultation to show you on a big tv screen the condition of your teeth and to explain what he is doing visually. Can't recommend him highly enough!
