Success Stories
‘The treatment I have received from all the staff has been above and beyond what could be expected. No effort was too much trouble for them to find out the cause of my extreme pain. ‘
‘I have been a patient of Milford Family Dental since the beginning of this year (2016).The practice was recommended to me by a friend and I am now happy to recommend it to others.
The Dentist looking after me is Kelly Jung and I am extremely satisfied with her work, her thoroughness and her ability to explain in layman’s terms her recommendations and treatment plan.
I haven’t done a price comparison to other practices but I feel the charges are reasonable and value for money.
There is always pleasant interaction with the efficient chairside assistant and front office staff.’
‘I have been under the care of this dental surgery for a number of years and have most recently been attended to by Kavendra and his team. While very few people enjoy the experience of visiting the dentist, the attention, care and friendliness shown by this group of professionals is fantastic.
Both my husband and elderly mother have had, in the last few months, a couple of complex procedures and both of them found the experience less traumatic than they expected. I believe a big contributing factor is the confidence they have in the entire enthusiastic pleasant team.’
‘People say that a smile is worth a thousand words. In my case, I was always self-conscious and hesitant to smile. The very first day I walked into Milford Family Dental, I was assured by the very friendly Dr. Kav, that the new Fast Braces would work wonders. Today with just eleven months after my treatment, my braces are off and I just cant stop smiling. My smile is as perfect as it can be and I am so happy with the results. Thank you to everyone at Milford Family Dental for the exceptional service and care provided; and of course thank you for transforming my smile.’
