Village Dental

I am Emily Farnswoth's father and a retired dentist. The claims that Emily makes in the review that follows this one are entirely unfounded. They are a product of my daughter's personal issues and have nothing to do with Village Dental or Lori the receptionist.Emily asked for a cleaning appointment at Village Dental. They fitted her in as a favour to our family. Unfortunately, because Emily wasn't answering their phone, they left a message with me. I told Emily she had an appointment for the next day. I expected her to call, find out the time and confirm. Emily failed to do this. If anyone was a fault apart from Emily, it was me for expecting her to follow through on this without me finding out and telling her the appointment time. Village Dental is entirely blameless and was conducting itself in the usual and appropriate manner for a dental office.Yours truly,Tom Farnsworth

It used to be a good clinic for my family, Dr. Mariam is awesome. But the service that the clinic is providing now has gone downhill a lot. Rude receptionist first of all.... We booked an appointment 2 months ahead. After all, Dr was not available for the exam today, they did cleaning and advised to rebook. And of course they are not available any time soon, no adjustments for the fact that it's actually their fault. Never going there again

I have been going here for three years and always appreciate the customer service. They treat me well and work with my schedule as much as possible. I like that they call to confirm and remind you of upcoming appointments.

OK, I am not a fan of going to the dentist but I accept it as a necessary evil. Have been to Dr. Hodjati at Village Dental in Chemainus three times now and am finally starting to believe that modern dentistry can truly be painless. Dr. Hodjati is very calm, kind and gentle and most importantly, about as painless as a dentist can be. I had 3 fillings done this last visit, one close to a nerve, and was totally impressed with the speed of the appointment and the thoroughness of the work. I was a tiny bit tender that night, she mentioned I might be, but by the next day I forgot all about it and was chewing on that side of my mouth without any pain. AND the receptionist calls me Hun". What more can you ask for :). 2 thumbs up!"

If there were more stars to give I would triple them! Everyone was amazing. I had a dental emergency and the front staff worked me into the schedule even tho I was not a patient and they had to stay after hours to get me out of pain, when my own office couldn't see me for 2 days. Everyone was very friendly and the doctor was great. Thank you Village Dental I look forward to transferring my file to your office.

Honestly, this is the best dentist office I've ever been to. Here's why:~Lori is always there to greet me with a warm smile, always finds ways to be accomodating to my busy schedule, and sends me appointment reminders!~the cleaning team: so friendly, knowledgable and caring.~Dentist Hodjati is knowledgable, incredible at problem solving, has great attention to detail, is thorough and very kind.~Appointments average 2 weeks out and often shorter depending on the need! It's amazing that I don't have to wait for so long to get into see someone like other dentists!I live in Mill Bay and it is ALWAYS worth the extra drive to choose this dental experience.

Made an appointment, they called my father to confirm instead of me. This is a breach of confidentiality which I will be pursuing consequences for. When I called to get my chart to go to a different they tried to argue with me. Still don’t have my chart. Receptionist is the most rude person I’ve ever talked to. Go anywhere but here for competent care.

Excellent Dental office. Everyone is so friendly and capable. I had the easiest dental cleaning ever . I purchased an awesome Oral-B toothbrush for an excellent price. I know in 6 months my teeth will be better than ever. Thanks everyone for making a trip to the dentist an enjoyable experience rather than a dreaded visit.

Best dental experience I've ever had... I was in pain with the rotted tooth, they took me in on short notice.... actually no notice.... Very kind and professional...never been to a dentist like this one....Thank you all
