What recent reviews say

Five-star reviews highlight Dr. Fairuz's gentleness during extractions, honesty in treatment decisions, and willingness to return for emergencies. However, a significant minority report poor communication before procedures, emotional outbursts, rude handling of children, and appointment booking errors. The clinic works well for straightforward cases but inconsistency in manner and customer service is a real concern.

Service quality varies by visit and dentist mood rather than by skill level. Patients seeking calm, transparent explanations should ask detailed questions upfront; those with anxious children may want to test the fit first.

Praised for
  • gentle extraction and painless procedures
  • professional dentist with strong listening skills
  • honest advice, no unnecessary treatment
  • returns for emergencies after hours
Watch-outs
  • poor explanation of conditions and treatment plans
  • emotional volatility and impatience with patients
  • appointment scheduling mistakes
  • rough handling of children, lack of compassion
