Dr David Lee, a highly trustworthy and respectable dental professional! He gives thoughtful advice and solutions; fees are always well explained and reasonable, and all operations are done with best cares. Also, I must mention that, all the staff members at Manchester Dental -- at the front desk and clinic rooms, are very nice and helpful. This is the place and people I want to recommend to my relatives and friends.

I received excellent advice and care from Dr Ibrahim during 2022. All the staff are considerate and friendly . Communication by phone and message I has been most helpful.

It's been a number of years since I've written a review. And, once again, this review is targetted to "Manchester Road Dental Surgery" (MRDS) which has expanded with purpose-built renovations (completed this year); check-out the TV screen on the ceiling when you are in the chair! The build inside gives off a nice comfortable "vibe" which is further enhanced by the ladies at Reception: Ashley, Brody (and others) who are [each] superbly-helpful, very personable and efficient to a tee. They always make a person feel welcome; you girls rock!
When it comes to the business-end of my reason to attend MRDS, I previously wrote about my experiences with Dr Amanda Ho; this time I'm writing about "Dr David Rivadillo"; he deserves it.
With [new] family responsibilities impacting on Amanda's time, I have had to forego my regular dental treatments by her, and moved laterally across to David. What a wonderful change that has proven to be. (I still try to schedule a check-up or two with Amanda.)
As highly-skilled and talented as Amanda is, I can say that, without a doubt, David is certainly her equal. I have presented a number of "tricky" dental situations with David, e.g., a 'double' tooth nerve when preparing for a dental Crown; very rare, but picked-up by David! As is the case with Amanda, he too is very personable and professional. Always has a relaxing chat with you and carefully explains what he is doing (or finds) during his examination. Throughout the procedures, he explains (forewarns?) what he is doing, or will be doing. At the end of the appointment, he reviews the work done and explains any further issues you need to be aware of—any questions? (It would be remiss of me to fail to also include the seamless synergy between the dental assistants for both David and Amanda.)
As a forty-year resident, I 'know' there are a number of Dental Surgeries available in Mooroolbark—tested them out in my earlier years—but I am prepared to swear "on-a-stack-of-Bibles", that you can be extremely confident that all of your dental needs can be addressed by the Team at MRDS. They also do a follow-up a day or two after a procedure to check if you have any post-dental concerns.
For me (and incidentally our family), there is simply no other Dental Practice I would trust for complete dental care.

One year on from some extensive dental work I have had a scheduled check-up. As expected, Dr. Ibrahim's professional work has stood up exceptionally well to the test of time and I could not be more pleased with all results.
The friendly office staff, pleasant surroundings and caring dental professionals make Manchester Rd. Dental a most worthwhile experience.

I usually try to avoid dentistry due to bad experiences as a child, but can recommend this practice for their sensitive and caring treatment. The lovely Doctor Lee put me at ease and everyone was so welcoming and friendly yesterday that I plan to attend annually in future instead of waiting for 8 years!

After not having seen a Dentist for 20 or so years I can highly recommend this practice. Dr Ibrahim has been treating me now for eighteen months. He has me comfortable and treated me with great respect. I am a work in progress but could not be happier. I would highly recommend him to you. Not to forget the incredible team behind the desk who all do a fantastic job.

I have been going to this dentist surgery for years now and recently decided to get a denture ,David provided a quote and i went ahead. The service provided by David was so professional and considering i had 6 teeth pulled it was still a good experience as David made sure no pain and took all the time required ( no rush ). He organized the dental plate and fitting and all went so well. Highly recommended. All the staff are friendly and polite, and now have my family and friends going also.

Dr Anna was so caring and gentle I would recommend Manchester Rd dental 100 percent. I will have no hesitation in going back whenever I need to. The staff are so friendly caring and they explain everything they are doing and for someone so scared of dentists the extraction was no problem and I didn’t feel a thing. Regards Trish

I have just returned from having a extraction and cannot recommend them highly enough, in the past i been seeing David but today i saw Anna and both have provided such an excellent service. They are so good that i have got my wife, adult children and gran children all going there and all are very happy with the procedures, service, and most of all the way they make the kids so relaxed that they have no worries about going back. The reception is also very welcoming. All round great service, lovely people and a good experience with dental work.

Dr David is such a good dentist that my daughter asks to go and visit him. He was so kind and thorough when treating her after she had an accident a couple of years ago resulting in loose teeth and a dislocated her jaw. He is great at teaching the kids to look after their own teeth.

The treatment was extremely thorough and well explained. Ibrahim was very switched on to his patient's comfort. He has a very interested and pleasant demeanour and he gives a step by step explanation of what he is doing and why it is necessary. Overall an extremely efficient and welcoming dental surgery.

As well as being an exceptional dental surgeon, Dr Amanda Ho has the patience of a saint. Nobody enjoys the invasive nature of dentistry but Amanda seems able to calm us edgier patients and even minimise the fear factor. What a blessing! I have been a patient for over 10 years and have always been treated very well by all staff members. Even though I try to avoid dentistry as much as possible, I have recommended Manchester Rd Dental surgery to various people in the past and will continue to do so.

When I read reviews, I like to go back a “number” of years in order to get a better “feel” of the organisation or person I will be dealing with. If you are like me, you may have spotted a review I wrote on 2 October, 2015!
I believe most people write a review and leave it at that, BUT, has the review writer continued to have a “positive experience” on subsequent visits? For example, I reflect on a positive review I wrote for work done on our home. Three-plus years later, an issue we discovered later, has still not been fixed! Hence, consider this one an update, i.e., has my positive experience remained sustainable?
The short answer is “Yes”. Based on those earlier experiences, have I done what I thought I would do at that time? Again, the answer is “Yes”.
Dr Amanda Ho “remains” to be my favourite Dentist. I “do” action the Reminder Letter I receive rather than file it in “the Bin”. All the accolades I wrote about her at that time: disposition, skills, communication, etcetera, remain at that same level of excellence; she has not “dropped the ball”.
I can add that through happenstance, and prior to my seeing Dr Ho, my wife sees Dr David Rivadillo and has also basically related to me the same praises for him as I have written for Amanda. (Given we have been married for almost 42 years, I believe I can write that on her behalf.) It would be remiss of me if I did not also give suitable accolades to their Staff…from Reception to Dental Nurses! Top job from them all.
So, what does this all mean? It means that, in my case, three years down the track, I and my wife can still attest that there is a highly-qualified and caring Dentistry team available to the community of Mooroolbark (and beyond). We would highly recommend that, if you are not “really happy” with your current Dentist and their service(s), do yourself a favour and make your next appointment at this practice.

I have been going to Manchester Rd Dental Surgery for the last 18 years. I have always put off going to the dentist regularly until I started seeing Dr David Rivadillo. He has a fantastic work ethic. He makes you feel comfortable & explains clearly about the treatment that is going to take place. I have no hesitation in recommending this Surgery & Dr David Rivadillo. I trust him explicitly.

I see Dr Rivadillo every 6 months, and have been for a few years now. And whatever l need done is always painless from start to finish. If there will be any pain at all, he'll tell you up front. A very friendly and professional team and l always feel comfortable and at ease. He's very easy to talk to and explains everything you need to know about your teeth and gums. I certainly recommend Dr Rivadillo to anyone.

Having Dr Amanda as a new dentist has been great, she made me feel comfortable the whole time through out my procedure as a new patient at Manchester Road Dental Surgery. The staff have been very thorough with checking up to make sure all was okay days after my procedure. My son will be soon attending Manchester Road Dental Surgery for a 1st time next month. I would highly recommend this place to anyone

As a new patient having been recommended to attend Manchester Road Dental I couldn't be happier. Dr David has been fabulous. Caring, gentle, personable and with fantastic reassuring communication skills. Nothing is a bother and he explains everything before and after he proceeds in terms easily understandable. He constantly checks if you are ok during the procedure which is really reassuring. I have also had the pleasure after 2 visits of experiencing 2 different dental nurses and they have both been warm, caring and very professional a real credit to the practice as are all the office staff. My son and husband have also been seen by Dr David and they both felt at ease and totally looked after by the team. I am certainly VERY happy we have found such a fabulous professional dental surgery, cannot recommend them more highly!

I have attended several times seeing both Dr David and now Dr Amanda. Wow, how far have Dentists come in the last few years. I no longer fear going to the dentists however look forward to caring staff and amazing dentists. Both are a couple, but a couple of amazing caring and so polite people. They will assist you in every way dentally. Cannot speak highly enough of this practice. Tony Campion a 57 year old
