"The staff at the Dentists are soooo lovely and friendly and always professional!!! I cannot fault their service, personal patient care and thoroughness. I have been a patient for many years now and they always greet me with a smile. They have gone above and beyond to ensure every experience is as pain-free as possible and always ensure they give me informed options for treatment!! Can't fault them, I do believe a business is successful and friendly as a result of the person at the top which in this case is AJ and his wife Jade, you couldn't get better role models.

"I can’t speak highly enough of Dr Sharlene Lu at The Dentists Taupo. She was so respectful, highly professional, gentle, kind, compassionate, patient and confident, leaving no room for fear. Definitely an expert in her field and she made the whole experience calm, yet speedy. Dr Sharlene’s communication skills were superb, unequivocally explaining complex procedures, definitely open and honest. I had an upper tooth removed on 4 December 2024 which was a difficult extraction because it had a curve in the root and was close to the left sinus. Dr Sharlene’s ability to integrate new technologies enabled this extraction to be an exemplary achievement. I just couldn’t believe that the tooth had been removed in record time, with no pain or fuss. Her assistant, Robyn, deserves the same favourable recommendation, too."
