Posted on Google Barbara SulzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Abdul Wehbe, was very compassionate . as was his staff, I appreciate everything that they did for me the two days that I was there. his receptionist went out of her way to help me when it comes to getting an appointment and rearranging things for me. I appreciate that very much.Posted on Google Valerii YakubovychTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Came with chipped tooth. Dr. Laatsch recommended to fix cavity in another alive tooth first. Within initially planned time the doctor and his assistant Yulia fixed both. I got great value for the money I paid. A couple weeks have passed, no complains. Thank you!Posted on Google Kelli RichardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m sure everyone has concerns and even fear about going to the dentist. Well let me help you overcome that fear. I see Dr Wehbe at the Strathcona Dental office, and I have never experienced a more warm and stress free practice as you would experience here. From Dr Wehbe to the office staff and hygiene department, everyone makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Professional is the word that comes to my mind when discussing this dental office. Please take the time to see this office and agree with me that this is an awesome office, when you are experiencing something you are concerned about.Posted on Google Maurice LeviteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Strathcona Dental after being very disappointed with my last dentist, and I’m so glad I did. The staff is extremely professional and welcoming. A big thank you to Claire(Receptionist) for the warm welcome and her clear understanding of my situation. Tatyana (Dental Hygienist) did a fantastic job on my teeth, I could really tell the difference. Dr. Abdul Wehbe and his assistant Jenny (Dental Assistant) were outstanding. They were very professional, made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire appointments. You can tell Dr. Wehbe genuinely loves what he does because his work was excellent. It was the first time I actually felt excited to go to the dentist! Strathcona Dental isn’t just a dental office it’s a great experience. Thank you to the whole team! I’ll definitely be back.Posted on Google Sattar SoltaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an awesome experience at this clinic.
