I’m currently undergoing dental treatment with Dr. Michel Furtado at Smilepod Jubilee Place, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results so far. Dr. Michel is an exceptional professional—thorough, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer my questions and explain each step of the process in detail. I have complete confidence in the quality of care and professionalism I’ve received over the past few months, and I’m certain that by the end of my treatment, I’ll have a beautiful, confident smile.

This is my second time having my teeth cleaned by the amazing Magatha! She’s incredibly gentle, thorough, and knowledgeable. Truly the best hygienist I’ve ever had—I won’t be going anywhere else. Thank you for the fantastic service!

I have been going to this dentist for couple of years now. I always get my treatment from kat. The lovely kat always making me feel comfortable and one of the kindest people I have met. She’s aware that I have low tolerance when it comes to pain but she’s always making sure that I’m comfortable and making as painless as possible.

I recently had an appointment with Aline and was thoroughly impressed. She is incredibly thorough, patient, and truly client-centric, making the entire experience one of the best I’ve had with a hygienist. Aline is also very personable, which made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the visit. I usually go to Bupa, but needed a quicker appointment and was fortunate to find her - I’m so glad I did. Highly recommend! Ms Sanford

The truth is, I am Nawaf Aziz, 67 years old. I have been to many dental clinics in many countries of the world, Paris, Germany, Morocco, the Emirates, Bahrain, Iraq, and some other countries. I have not seen a doctor like Dr. Eric, who has great experience, morals, and respectful treatment. I offer my thanks and gratitude to you for choosing such a stature in dentistry that everyone who works with her is proud of.Thank you.
