Patient reviews

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

After breaking a tooth I jumped online looking for a local affordable dentist. Whilst viewing Lumino I was also able to view appointment availability and book online immediately. The service following was excellent and the friendly team put me at ease during my treatment.

– Laura O - Lumino Red Beach Patient

WARM, FRIENDLY & CARING

It's such a relief to go to a dentist and know you can relax knowing that everything will be explained to you in a warm, friendly and caring manner.

– Alison J - Lumino Darfield Dental Patient

PROFESSIONAL, WELCOMING & FRIENDLY

My visit to Lumino Oamaru was a very good experience. They are always professional, helpful, and friendly. Couldn't have been better.

– Philip S - Lumino Shearer Dental Oamaru Patient

Everyone is very kind and respectful. As a trans person, I can get quite nervous about medical appointments but I always find the team very respectful. Dr Mark Taylor is very kind and always explains things in a way I can understand.

– Aych M, Lumino City Dental Auckland Patient
