Here's what our clients say...
"I look forward to going to the dentist! How often do you hear that? My complete trust in Phillip is evidence based: My teeth and gums have been under his care and protection for 20 years and are still in fine shape. (I'm 77, which is also relevant). Phil never stops learning, he loves his work, he state the facts clearly and gives me choices, he makes me laugh and he makes me think. Originally recommended by my son, he and his team are the complete package.
Rachel McAlpine
"I have always admired people with a beautiful smile and straight teeth. My front teeth crossed and as I grew up in the generation before orthodontic was the norm I thought that was my lot in life.
After discussion with Phil, he suggested a veneer would be the answer.
To say that I am delighted with the result is an understatement. Phil also suggested tooth whitening. My smile looks ten years younger. A small price to pay for a very big result.
Phil is an extremely talented technician and artist. Thank you"
Carole Meredith
"I came to Phillip Chin when my last dentist retired. I wish I had come years ago! He did a full assessment of my teeth and then gave me all the options available, and the time frames involved, to improve my teeth and if I so wished their cosmetic appearance. There was never any pressure to take any of the options but always support for the one's chosen. He explained as much or as little as I needed along the process and kept me almost pain free during the appointments. I am delighted with appearance of my teeth now and definitely smile with more confidence."
Kathy
"I have been a patient of Phillip's for over 20 years. I have always found the care delivered by Phillip and his staff to be excellent. This is a professional and friendly practice where you are put at ease immediately. Phillips always thoroughly explains available options for treatment when necessary. His suggestions have always been very helpful in reaching treatment decisions. I have always found Phillip and this team respectful, while keeping the atmosphere in the surgery light-hearted and relaxed.
I think it is indicative of the high regard in which I hold Phillip and his practice that I chose to return as a patient after living overseas for 7 years. I have no hesitation in recommending Phillip if you are looking for top quality, professional dental care."
Chrissie Greenhough
"I have been going to see Phil for the past 7+ years. I highly recommend him. He's a great laugh and has done a fantastic job helping to get my teeth where they are today. Phil has seen me through orthodontic treatment, extractions, cosmetic shaping, sealants and more - he's also the only dentist who's given me the clean bill of health through a regular catchup without suggesting anything additional needed to be done. The rest of the practice is great too - hygienist and special mention to the orthodontist - at a handy location.
A+ would highly recommend. PS He makes cool furniture too!"
Rosie
"Keeping my own teeth for life has always been critically important to me, so having moved to NZ some 16 years ago, finding a new dentist was almost top of my list of priorities.
After "testing the water" for a while, 14 or so years ago I found the very best dentist I have EVER had. In the course of my long life living in many places and many dentists, I found the best on Allen Street. His name is Phillip Chin."
Val Wyng
"Phillip is excellent at his job. I have been with him for over five years and completely trust him with my teeth. He is a perfectionist and will do what is right for the patient at the right time.
And everyone in the clinic is really personable. Going to the dentist is a rather enjoyable experience for me!"
Preeti Pillai
"I have been a patient of yours from the start. I enjoy our chit chat when I visit ie I'm not just a patient, we have developed a good healthy rapport.
What I appreciate the most is your help when I have need of "urgent" help. From chipped tooth to severe toothache you have always made time for me and helped me out asap and I have really appreciated that. You also clearly explain what's going on and all the options I have.
Over the years I have found all your staff to be very good and most helpful to me."
Steve
"I have nothing but praise for the team at Phillip Chin Ltd who put me at ease and who made sure I was comfortable during the process of the recent dental work undertaken by Phillip.
Phillip was thorough in his explanations of the alternative treatments along with the pricing-out of those options. He handled the negotiation with ACC which took pressure off me and the outcome was very satisfying.
Phillip and his team worked diligently to make the final result the best it could be."
Lynette
"Over some 20 years as my dentist, Phillip has been a thorough professional: even-natured, highly proficient technically, and an excellent communicator when choices must be made. He is also always on time!"
David Y
"I think that my ancient teeth are in excellent hands,: they are still there and do what they are meant to. I am always well informed about the options, both in terms of durability and cost. And I do not dread going to the dentist or the hygienist, no pain, and Phillip is a dab hand at delivering injections and getting the work done. (I only wish they looked a bit better! but that is not my first priority. I know that there could be answers but I'm not choosing to consider any just now). I appreciate the courteous attention from the front desk and the reminders of appointments."
