DR MALA DESAI REVIEWS

Dr Mala and her team are incredible. Everything is thought of to make the experience comfortable and enjoyable for kids. The staff are so lovely and friendly. Both of our daughters have been so well cared for and are now set up to have perfect teeth throughout their lives. I have also appreciated having everything explained to me away from the kids so that I can take in everything easily. Thank you so much, Kristy and family.

Every team member at Children's Dentistry went above and beyond to ensure my son was comfortable and confident during his treatment. The waiting room has a range of toys and resources to settle children and from the second I walked in the door I was treated with such care. I cannot thank everyone at Children's Dentistry for the wonderful care we have received.

Dr. Mala and her team are absolutely amazing. My 3.5 year old had to have an extraction and some other work done. They organized the day procedure and explained everything to us. I felt he was in the best care possible. I highly recommend.

DR KAREN KAN REVIEWS

My daughter has received excellent care from Dr Karen Kan, Emma, and Margaret, who have all shown remarkable patience and friendliness in her treatment plans, and their follow-up services have been incredibly thoughtful. The overall experience of our treatment was incredibly positive and filled us with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

Dr Karen Kan and team are absolute amazing. Kind and friendly. They took great care of our daughter. I would highly recommend Kew Paediatric Group for your children.

Positive experience with the specialist helps to establish a life long dental care practice each day. We are blessed to find the right Specialist here.

DR LINDA NGUYEN REVIEWS

We’ve been taking our son Nicholas to see dentist Linda for nearly 7 years now and she is fantastic. He is non verbal autistic and has sensory challenges, and she has been a great support for him by being patient and understanding. As soon as we tell him it’s time to see dentist Linda for a clean and check up, he has a big smile on his face. As his parents, Anita and I can highly recommend Linda for your kids dental needs, she’s fabulous to deal with.

Dr Linda is easily one of the most gentle and well-informed dentists I've met. The atmosphere she creates is very calming and I know I'm in good hands when she is around. She also has great taste in music! Could not recommend her enough.

Dentist Linda and her staff are amazing They fitted us in last minute for 2 appointments and was able to help our 5 year old with a cap that had fallen up. We live 2 hours away from her clinic but prefer to drive to see her than anyone else. Thanks so much.
