Very professional and catered to on time.

I had not been to the dentist in years due to a terrible phobia - made an appointment for myself & my 4 year old. The entire team was simply wonderful. Dr Anand was so careful and gentle knowing how nervous I was. He explained everything he was doing. He was incredible. My son gave them a hard time but Dr. Anand was so patient. He was absolutely amazing!! Start to finish this clinic was excellent So lucky to have found Limelight dental.

It’s a clean nice facility. The front desk is very helpful. The hygienist and doctor are very professional!

Very professional service. Front desk staff was very friendly. Overall the experience was great.

The staff were very polite and professional, made me at ease after not being at the dentist for several years. Dr. Rao did a quick assessment part way through my cleaning and was also very pleasant. The experience was very easy, and the hours at the clinic are very accommodating for those who work 9-5 type jobs to fit you in before work, after work, or on weekends.

The place is very cosy and clean. The staff is super friendly and felt like I was in good hands. Definitely recommended.

Dr Rao is very professional and nice.He gives best solution i belive.

Very friendly staff and awesome service. Office is very modern and they let you pick what you want to watch on Netflix during your visit.

I scheduled an appointment for a dental cleaning and check up. I was greeted by the very friendly front desk staff, set up as a new patient in no time and went on for x-rays and cleaning, looked after by Niki. She was absolutely amazing! I had had a very bad experience with my last cleaning in downtown Toronto and Niki and the team put me very much at ease and "took it easy on me" to ensure i didn't experience and discomfort or pain. I would highly recommend this practice as their staff is very courteous, professional and 100% dedicated to the best patient experience.

It was my first time going to a dentist in 13 years. The staff is very friendly and helped me get through the experience.
