Welcoming and kind
“– Margatet P - Lumino Karori Dental Centre Patient, June 2020Ken Wong has serviced my teeth for over 20 years. And has kept them in good order even although I don't have the strongest of teeth, nor do I take the very best care at times. I trust him totally. Highly recommended. Also, Karori staff are so welcoming and kind and efficient. It was a pleasure. Thank you.”
Very professional
“– Nancy H - Lumino Karori Dental Centre Patient, June 2020I visited Lumino, Karori under COVID level two. The check-in could not have gone more smoothly. I was contacted by telephone beforehand to confirm my health status. Upon arriving my temperature was checked and it was straight into the dentist. This regular exam was conducted thoroughly and efficiently. I am happy to report, no follow-up treatments required :-) Checking out, payment and booking ahead were all conducted very efficiently. At all times staff were courteous, sociable, and professional.”
