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.

Dr Amanda Ho was fantastic, the staff are exceptionaly friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Never thought I would say this, but I am looking forward to my next appointment.

Very clean clinic. Very professional service. Very friendly staff (all the staff).
For someone that is anxious about the dentist, I have no hesitation about visiting Dr Amanda Ho. She is so gentle & caring. Highly recommend this dental clinic to anyone.

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.

I have been attending Manchester Rd Dental for many years and seen many changes. The present team are kind and caring. Dr David is my dentist [redacted clinical content]. I would recommend Manchester Rd Dental to anyone looking for the best treatment.

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 been seeing Dr Amanda And highly recommend her, especially If you have a fear of the dentist . She makes you feel at ease and makes sure you are always comfortable.She does a great job as well. All the staff are very friendly and helpful too.

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
