Patient Reviews
I have been a patient of Turtle Creek Dental ever since I can remember and it’s always a pleasant experience. I’ve had many types of dental work here, never ever any issues and I always leave feeling like I just received a 5-star cleaning! Never rushed and frankly, never waiting either! They are always ready for me at my appointment time.
The staff are so friendly and professional. I moved out of town more than 10 years ago and once tried going to a closer dentist but nothing compares to here. If you are looking for a wonderful dental experience, look no further!
My whole family travels far to stick with Dr Bako. We were with Dr Williams from childhood before Dr Bako took over and Dr Williams chose the perfect replacement for himself. We have all moved away over the years, part of us to Streetsville, and myself to north Burlington, for a good 45 minute drive, in good traffic. Some of us have tried other dentists to have a shorter drive, but we returned to Dr Bako. Considering what was discussed at the last family gathering, by the sounds of it, he is stuck with all of us until he retires. One family member saying that she went to another dentist and that was one of the biggest mistakes of her life! He is a great dentist, doesn't do unnecessary work, honest, I feel he is probably at the lower of the scale when it comes to cost, and a good person to boot!
Best hygienist and dentist within 20 miles. Always courteous. And I love the receptionist. I’ve known her a long time and she’s a wonderful girl.
