Wonderland Family Dentistry

I have been a patient of this excellent dental practice for almost three decades. Indeed, I had the pleasure of teaching both Dr Lin and the current owner Dr Shinde in my role of Professor of Pharmacology at The University of Western Ontario... thus I expected excellence and have never been disappointed. I recall that Dr. Lin would always require that all his colleagues and employees familiarize themselves with the dental text on drug interactions that I had him use at University. And, indeed, I believe Dr Shinde is much more knowledgeable about dental pharmaceuticals than has his auld prof.after my 30 years of retirement! Folks, a unique form of "relaxation" is not simply through the use of any necessary medication, nor just the professional calming skills of the practitioners.. it is enhanced buy nature. Allow me to explain, I advisethat Dr. Lin designed and built this unique dental office backing onto a woodland scene where deer, wild grouse and colourful birds feed from the fodder the Practice, lovingly, supply. Many times one is ushered into rhe rear clinic rooms to witness such a picturesque panorama not found in many places designed for professional Dentistry. Oh yes, apart from my romancing the views,, allow me record that I have always been impressed by all experts at Wonderland Dentistry Dentists, hygienists, dental assistants and administrative staff. Having had major dental requirements over my time with them, I am alway pleased with their ongoing care... . and in particular, the prompt attention to emergencies. Dr Shinde, recently saw me immediately in the morning. after the, during the night, failure of a three tooth bridge. Don't ever eat melba toast in bed. . Following preparatory emergency endodontic treatment, he then referred me to a very qualified periodontist, who did the necessary surgery to enable the placement of a new bridge. I always applaud a person who make appropriate referrals. In closing, I have also always believed that any facility can only run well if paients feel welcome. Wonderland Dentistry has always employed such personnel. I am happy to acknowledge that dear Melissa, who met me at 8am this morning has exemplary skill and empathy.. and she does this without having a window overlooking the natural habitat of North London. Please, admire the skills provided by long undergraduate and postgraduate training.. and be nice to your own dentist even those without a view. Respectfully Professor Emeritus "Wee Johnnie Hamilton "

There were a few communication issues during my visit on December 1st that I think are important for future patients to know. I wasn’t informed that my appointment would only include an X-ray and a short discussion, which came to $200. I also wasn’t advised ahead of time that the dentist I was booked with wouldn’t be able to work on a filling that had previously been done at the same office. Since I already knew the filling needed to be replaced, clearer communication about what the appointment would cover and who could perform the work would have been helpful. Transparency around services and costs can make a big difference for patients. Since this last appointment used all of my remaining insurance for the year. I have since switched to another dental office, where my examination fee was waived and the filling was discounted, which I appreciated. I’ve had issues here before. X-Rays being pushed on me without prior knowledge. Booking me for future cleanings before I confirmed. Sending future appointments to my insurance without my acknowledgement. Being told I’ve being lacking on scheduling my appointments when I come regularly. Since I first joined 5-6 years ago, this office was starting feeling less customer focused. When I first came they were fantastic, super friendly, and cared. I feel like it’s lost that. Update: This office is refusing to release the dental pictures taken during my September 30th appointment to my new dentist. I spent 15–20 minutes having x-rays completed, but they are now claiming no images exist. It appears the records were either deleted or are being withheld without explanation.

The staff is very friendly. They always make sure I receive all the necessary information and thoroughly explain every procedure. They are very patient with children and create a welcoming and comfortable environment for care.

This dental office is the sweetest community. They welcomed my autistic son with open arms and made a point to make his independence known! He was able to sit in the room on his own and visit with dentist while watching peppa pig. Front desk staff are lovely !

The ambiance in the Clinic feels very safe. Staff members are very cautious, knowledgeable and friendly. I brought my daughter, and would refer my friends her too. I give 5 stars. My daughter had a good experience too. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
