As someone who dislikes dentists, I found this group to be compassionate , kind and extremely professional. I actually look forward to my 6 monthly visit. Alison at reception, treats you like an old friend. Did I mention that they are also very reasonably priced?!

Graham and his staff have helped me to manage my anxiety and not be terrified of going to the dentist. [Redacted clinical content]

I have experienced nothing but excellent treatment and professionalism from Graham and his team at East Melbourne Dental. I used to make myself physically sick when visiting the dentist, but Graham alleviated all my fears and the worst has now been dealt with in a caring and non-judgmental way. I actually can manage a laugh now during my visits, and don't get myself wound up into a state anymore. I can highly recommend this clinic.

Staff are friendly and accommodating, particularly if there is an emergency. The latest technology is being used and Dr. Graham is welcoming and clearly explains the procedure and options. I am happy to smile! Dental hygienists at the practice are an added benefit. I just have to keep doing my part to look after my teeth!

Dr Graham’s professional and caring attitude addressed my concerns and his state of the art technology has given me the confidence to smile. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Graham, especially those who are anxious about dental treatment

As a long time dentist phobic (as in, so serious that I would have panic attacks just considering making the appointment) I highly recommend East Melbourne Dental Group and in particular Dr Graham Culy. Graham is patient, kind, and professional. The facilities at the clinic are state of the art and the service offered is always both professional and friendly. If you're a hard core dentist phobic, this is the clinic for you, where you'll be looked after and loved back to dental health!

I cannot recommend Dr Ron enough. He is [redacted clinical content], dedicated and extremely passionate about the care he provides.
He spends time to make sure every step of the procedure is understood and that you're comfortable at every point.
He also has a great sense of humour that puts me at ease and makes him more personable. I recommend him to everyone!

The East Melbourne Dental Group was recommended to me by a friend, and I have since been seeing Dr Ronak Patel, who I have been extremely happy with. My options are always explained to me so I have time to check with my private health provider, and I always feel comfortable and at ease after every visit. Definitely recommend the EMDC!

This was my first time to visit East Melbourne Dental Group, It was easy to locate, the receptionist Allison was very prompt with her email response and my request to book an appointment for my swollen gum, and Dr Ron and his assistant were both very pleasant and easy-going. [redacted clinical content] and Dr Ron explained my situation clearly and carefully. I was very happy with the whole experience and will visit again. Note: This place is extremely popular in December so better to make an appointment in advance.

Approximate cost: $175

Very happy with going here for dental work for myself and my daughter who is 7 years old. (Definitely bring your kids here - the girls are great with littlies).

I've been seeing Ron (Dr Ronak Patel) for awhile and really appreciate his manner particularly when he explains what and why he's doing the dental work. It's made a big difference to my overal dental health (much more than my previous dentist elsewhere).

If you are also looking for someone for your kids the dental therapists are GREAT! We had Deanne work with my daughter (now 7). Thanks to Deanne's gentle manner my daughter is not scared of visiting the dentist.

I am in my mid 70s and have lived in a number of places in Australia and New Zealand and experienced many dentists all with differing personalities, knowledge and attitudes towards patient care. My first experience with East Melbourne Dental Group was five years ago when I was visiting my son for Christmas and had to have some
emergency dental work done. I was impressed then with the care provided and how the dentist was prepared to work beyond his finishing time. Some three years later and now living in Melbourne I again attended the medical group for what would end up being a tooth extraction. Not my favourite past time. This was when I was introduced to Dr Ronak Patel [redacted clinical content] from the UK. [redacted clinical content] I couldn't be happier with a dentist than I am with Dr Patel. He takes the time to explain what needs to be done and how that work may impact on other teeth. He also provides a fee quote for work to be done and doesn't apply pressure to do it. He leaves it up to me to decide when to do it, which usually depends on when I can afford it and, that's no reflection on the cost, just my ability to fund it. Dr Ron has a warm and pleasing personality and I always leave the surgery with a smile and almost looking forward to the next visit - I did say almost. Let's not forget the other staff, they are great as well.
If you are looking for a dentist who cares about you, [redacted clinical content], has modern equipment and how to use it and makes you feel important to them, then you can't go past Dr Ron Patel and the East Melbourne Dental Group.

With my history of dental nursing I've also appreciated that his investment in the latest technology and techniques has also profoundly improved my experience.

Importantly, what has always added to this is Graham’s very kind, thoughtful and gentle approach to even the simplest part of the work, such as the initial anaesthetic. My family has found that his amazing respect and consideration for the patient is unwavering, and the way he interacts with staff at the clinic creates a genuinely friendly and relaxed ambience. Its a place where you feel very welcome and cared for.

Graham's wonderful assistant Briony, receptionist Allison and the entire team are also a major part of the terrific atmosphere at the clinic. We couldn’t recommend Graham and the East Melbourne Dental Group more highly!

If I could have rated East Melbourne Dental Group with 6+ stars, I would have. I am a serious dental phobe and attended the clinic initially because I had dental emergency and read online that they provided special care for "people like me". This turned out to be more more than true and Cr. Culy and his team did a fantastic job of helping me through this first visit - so much so that I agreed to go back for routine follow-up care, post-emergency. This would normally be unthinkable for me. Dr. Culy and Briony are fantastically kind, gentle and professional. They have done what I thought was impossible - minimised my extreme fear of dentists and made me open to regular dental check-ups. I cannot rate this practice highly enough.

I have been seeing Graham Culy now for maybe 10 years now. He is the best dentist I have ever had and I am constantly referring all my work colleagues to him. I was originally referred to him by a work colleague.

The whole business is extremely professional and all the staff who work there are efficient and very caring and friendly. Graham always ensures the price is reasonable and spreads out work required to be done so that you can maximise your health insurance benefit. I would highly recommend anyone to this dentist/dental group.

I was very self conscious of my smile. After attending East Melbourne Dental Group I now walk around with a smile from ear to ear. Between Dr Graham and Dr Ron [redacted clinical content] I cannot thank the dr's and staff members enough. I have told all of my family and friends about this wonderful practice.

[redacted clinical content] Graham and his team took care to listen to my needs and the treatment was much less expensive than the other teeth straightening options available. I'd recommend this to anyone who would like to straighten their smile!

I cannot tell you how grateful I am to Graham and his team for the dental care they have given me since I moved to Melbourne. [redacted clinical content]
I had tried three different dentists prior to this business, [redacted clinical content]
Since then, he has continued to look after me for many years, delivering [redacted clinical content] kindness, and good humour.

I hope he never retires.

I live in Cairns, in Far North Queensland. I was referred to East Melbourne Dental Group, by my health cover provider, so that they could refer me to a specialist dentist in Melbourne, after I was told that the procedure in question could not be looked after, locally. At the time I had the specialist procedure, I was also attempting to resolve a very costly dental implant repair. Because I was impressed by the professionalism shown to me by the staff at East Melbourne Dental Group, on a whim, I decided to have one of their dentists look at the dental implant problem for a possible estimate and a professional opinion. I am so very glad that I did! Graham Culy [redacted clinical content], indicated his williingness to deal with the matter, and presented me with a services quote, that was far less expensive than other quotes I had received in my local area, by better than $4000.00! As fate would have it, once work commenced complications arose. However, thanks to where I was, Dr. Culy was able to bring in consultants to assess the situation, which was resolved, and was able to do so without excessive additional costs to me. At the end of the day, I have a dental repair that should last a lifetime and an over-all cost, minus support from my health cover provider, that allowed me to save better than $4000.00 against my original local quote,including the added expense of two all-inclusive roundtrips to Melbourne! Needless to say, I would, without hesitation, recommend Dr. Culy, and his staff, to anyone who is in need of [redacted clinical content], but reasonably-priced dental care. And as an added bonus: When you step out the door and back onto the street, you're in fabulous East Melbourne! Do yourself a favour and have a chat to Dr. Culy and his team.

I read all the other reviews for this and other dental practices in the hope I would find a magician who could make me feel comfortable about going to the dentist and fix my terrible teeth and guess what? I found him!!! These guys are the best! Absolutely changed my approach to going to the dentist! No more Valium to get there!! Yippee!!!! I can't rave about them enough - great service from everyone, genuine empathy and understanding, top notch information and no surprises!!! Take a risk! Give them a go!!!
