Melbourne Dental Clinic

Having Dentophobia for four decades, no other option; extractions loomed, & serious work will ensue thereafter. I'm on the 'Spectrum' with a rather exponential A.D.H.D. score, however throughout my life, I've correctly judged individuals with a 99.6 percentile score. Attended by Dr. Kobat & highly professional female assistant. To say this Gentleman is a highly trained/experienced Dentist, is an absolute insult. He's 'Tier 1' exceptional material. (Seldom met IMHO). I'm nearly 60 years young - previously had the misfortune to be 'ripped-off' by at least 20 businessmen, who've claimed to be Dental Professionals- 'Technicians at Best'. - 'Poor ones at that'. Your not going to save much money here. - 'It's all standard ADC coding. However, when the kids are in residence, you'll give them an opportunity to hone their skills (within your O2/CO2 portal)on their non-favourite 'Guinee-Pig'. In conclusion, whomever is under the tutelage of Dr. K, you are very, very fortunate & under a rather large obligation to even try to meet - nor exceed - his standards. Shukran.

Took a day off work for a filling. I was seen 10 min late from my appointment time, which i was 15 min early for. Appointment ended up being very rushed because apparently they didn't book a long enough appointment. I was advised to come again another day for the filling, but I insisted that it be done that day because I took a day off and made it clear beforehand when I made the appointment online that it was for a filling. Taking leave to come another day wasnt possible for me this time, so I had to insist that the filling be done that day. The dentist was just doing his best so the next patient didn't wait too long for their appointment. Dentist was polite about it and put in a situation due to incorrect time allotment by either reception or their online booking system. Basic check up, xray on the left side and filling was $320 + sore cheek from the rushed job. The haste to finish the appointment so the next patient wpildnt wait to long had me facing a lot of pulling, pinching of the cheek to reach the inner tooth. To be fair, the dentist did warn me it would have to be a rushed job. My advise to anyone reading this, book online and follow up with a call on what you are seeing the doctor for, just to make sure they allocate enough time for the appointment. Ask for a student/trainee instead of a full time dentist. The student/trainee I saw on a previous visit took his time and was supervised well. Me personally, I won't be going back.

Dentist and assistant were very good but receptionist was a bit rude and impatient for me when I told her that they had asked me to send the proof of my child dental benefit through email before an appointment but I still paid over $200 for it and she didn’t show interest to explain me how to claim it. I’ve asked if I can use my health insurance for it she said they didn’t except it so I was a bit confuse with the prices and the way receptionist treated me

I had student dentist Mia who was absolutely lovely! I was super anxious as I hadn’t been to the dentist in a few years but she was so kind throughout the whole process it made me feel so much better. Especially during some of the work (which was quite painful) she always checked in with me and never pressured me to continue (always telling me if I needed a break it was ok). She also answered any of my questions and was just overall a joy :)

Everyone has their own opinion but I have had such an amazing and professional experience with this clinic for my daughters braces and now plate/retainer. We travel an hour from home to go here and from the initial consultation to now, everything has been explained in detail and my daughter who is a bit socially awkward feels very comfortable each visit. We plan , when the time is right for our other child to go here for braces. Dr Sophie is beautiful, caring and just so genuine.
