I made an appointment here since I chipped my tooth while visiting Penticton. Just walking into the office, I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff and the openness and comfort of the waiting area. The dentist was extremely friendly and did a great job fixing my tooth. I told my local friends to share the name of this dental office since it offers a much better service than my own dentist back home.

I had a great experience. The hygienist was very informative and gave me a lot of very valuable information including the fact that I have gum recession. That was very interesting to find out, all in all a very good visit. Thank you Deborah Swaitkewich

I am not a patient of Eckhardt Dental , but they got me an appointment the next day and pulled my tooth. Staff and doctor where all amazing. Great job, I would highly recommend this dental center.

The dentist and the dental assistant were fantastic. They have not been working together too long. They were very well coordinated on the work that needed to be done. The dentist knew exactly what he had to do, and did it very well with no pain.

I was given an appointment just minutes after I walked in. They fit me in, due to my concern about a dental issue. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. My original dentist is gone from this location so I had a locum Dr. Abbas Naqvi and the hygienist Emily Proudfoot. Both exceptionally nice, empathetic and informative.

My hygienist did a great job and had several useful suggestions for caring for my teeth. She was friendly but not overly so. I would definitely be happy to have her as my hygienist next visit. Similarly the dentist who examined my jaw, gums, lips and teeth was very thorough and provided lots of useful information. All in all it was a great visit.

The level of care is amazing. Dr. Shah is the most wonderful dentist, so skilled and smooth with his actions, gentle, kind, and very informative. I have always been scared to go to the dentist , but I felt calm with Dr. Shah, the entire staff working there are kind, supportive, informative. I felt safe and well cared for.

I had a really nice experience, even just for a consultation. The staff were very nice and welcoming. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get in sooner for my treatment.

They've rotated staff recently and put me with a less experienced dentist without warning. I had a filling break and went in for repair. Not only did the new filling fall out about a week later, the dentist gave me attitude about it when I returned to get the poor work re-done. She snarkily asked me what I had done to cause the filling to fail. The dentist was awkward with her tools (seemed inexperienced) and very slow compared to my previous dentist. She did not give me a bite block but made me hold my mouth wide open for the extended procedure (took her over an hour to do 1 filling). My jaw was held open so long that my lower jaw started to have a muscle spasm and move back and fourth on it's own for a period of time. She also did not use a rubber damn so the old filling and tooth pieces were falling down onto the back of my tongue. I havn't had any drilling done in my mouth without the rubber damn in well over a decade. The second repair on the filling has held so far but I will not be returning.
