The kindest and best dental clinic I’ve experienced in Ottawa. Booking appointments is very easy, and the entire staff is consistently friendly and caring. I always see the same team members, which speaks to their high staff retention and positive work environment. We’re so glad that our family found this clinic, especially one that doesn’t try to over treat or take advantage of insurance benefits. Highly recommended.
Did you ever hear kids asking to go visit the dentist again? Dr. D and her wonderful team always provide so much patience and good humour while delivering expert dental care. The children feel at ease going to the dentist, this is a huge success as they grow and sometimes require more complex procedures in their teens. Dr. Daftary is our go to dentist, she provides the needed information and walks us through all the procedures, we trust her expertise and the entire skilled team at Terry Fox Dental.
