The staff at the practice were all so friendly and helpfulLynette, Australia, 14 05 22

Dr Chodree is a fantastic dentist, can highly recommend her. Residing in Australia I went to Dr Chodree to have bridging crowns done while visiting family, as I am a nervous patient she informed me the whole time why and what she is doing to calm me. She gave me advise on what to do after the procedure. She is extremely busy but I can understand why. The staff at the practice were all so friendly and helpful. Thank you Dr Chodree, I am a very happy customer.
