Patient feedback

  • I avoided going to the dentist for more than 8 years after a traumatic experience getting a wisdom tooth out and was reluctant to go back to a dentist, but was then recommended Carolyn. Carolyn has communicated well with me, has always been gentle, caring, and also advised me to stagger the appointments I had when I first needed lots of work done to make it more affordable and comfortable for me. She is dedicated to her work and always makes me feel cared for and that I am active participant in the process. I would absolutely recommend Carolyn.

  • Carolyn and her team provide an outstanding dental service. Carolyn seems very up to date with best practice and new research in dentistry and dental health. She seems very thorough and precise, and determined to deliver a quality outcome that fits a patient’s needs and preferences. I was particularly impressed with Carolyn’s attention to detail in finding a way of making a large filing replacement work in a tooth that was in a difficult location with uncertain strength in its remaining enamel walls. Carolyn crafted the replacement to fit extremely well in a manner that seems to have maintained the required strength. I was also impressed with her attention to detail and current best practice in oral health, particularly the relationship between diet (high fruit intake) and dental hygiene.

  • Due to an allergic reaction to a local anaesthetic earlier this year, I visited the Anesthetic Allergy Clinic at Auckland hospital on Tuesday 11 December. I was first seen by Peter Cooke, a specialist anesthetist. After going through the various note he had received from my and from Dr Carolyn Read, my general dentist he made special mention of the letter she had provided to support my allergy Investigation. He receives many letter from dentists, but the one from Carolyn soot out for its attention to detail and the information it contained. The notes that were included were very helpful in isolating the local anaesthetic I am allergic to. Mr Cooke made special mention more than once about how impressed he was with the notes provided. Thank you Carolyn, for your help in identifying my allergy.

  • I have been looked after in my oral health for some years now by Carolyn and her team. They have always treated me in a professional manner being always alert to my other health needs. I have a medical condition of high blood pressure and this is always a consideration during treatment that I am calm and relaxed. I am of the generation that did not have the protection of fluoride in our water supply so my teeth have always been an ongoing problem. I have had crown work done recently and I am very pleased with the results. The costs have been in line with the time it has taken and the skill level involved.
