    I had a good experience here. After not going to the dentist in a long time the staff here was very helpful in explaining to me on what to do. Now I know how to upkeep my oral hygiene.

    Great first visit, they did a through cleaning and looked at my X Ray's closely, and showed me some things that were happening that my previous practice had missed. They answered any questions I had and gave a detail overview about what was going on with my teeth. Very happy with them!

    Dr. Hiutin was so friendly and informative. He even took it upon himself to find out what my insurance covered before he started. He knew I was nervous going in and he consistently asked if I was doing okay. I'll definitely go back.

    The staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I haven’t been to a dentist in years due to some anxiety and bad prior experiences, but I am so relieved and excited to continue my dental treatments at Downsview Dental.

    Great service, you don't have to wait long obviously because of appointment bases. unfortunately, Dr. Alan is not there but the one who attends me is Dr. Charo and Dr. Rose, they were both friendly and knowledgeable on what they are doing and explains it to me well and advice how to take care of my teeth. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    The Dr. was very friendly. It's my first time at a Dentist in Canada so naturally, I was nervous. but their calm manner helped to relax me. Also, the dental hygienist explained every step that she was taking so it helped me feel less anxious.

    I was given a quote through Opencare and called Westway dental to get a consultation first before committing to the $475 fee (for cleaning, x-rays, etc.). Westway dental was great and provided a free consult and then scheduled my cleaning and x-rays for the next week. Westway gave me a discount too! It's been great, already scheduled for my next cleaning. Just to note I did not see Dr. Hiutin but another dentist (whom I was very comfortable with!).

    I saw Dr. Charo Pabalan who was absolutely excellent, along with Rose the hygienist and the front desk staff who were also excellent. Everyone was so professional and extremely kind. The examination was very thorough and both Dr. Pabalan and Rose answered all of my questions in detail. They are wonderful at what they do and I highly recommend them for your dental needs!

    I’ve been procrastinating for a while because I moved to a new area but thanks to Opencare I have finally easily found a new dentist! The entire process was easy and painless! From communicating via text message to moving around my appointments due to my crazy work schedule, they were fantastic! And the actual dentistry was terrific! I totally recommend them (and Opencare of course!)

    I arrived a little late and was concerned I would be treated differently sue to them having to rush through my treatment to keep time. The hygienist and dentist were awesome. They were patient and answered all my questions while making me feel comfortable about the time. Two days later and my teeth still feel spacious and clean as a whistle! Looking forward to my next appointment and showing my upkeep on flossing habits. ;)

    I didn't see this specific doctor but got a female Doctor... I forgot her name, but she was lovely. She was very honest and I could tell she was kind and very non-judgemental in her tone. I went in for some x-rays and had them explained to me which I appreciated and even asked if I had any questions.

    I was extremely nervous in the beginning as my last dentist was a scary experience. After meeting with Dr.Alan Hiutin, he made me feel comfortable and rest assured me I was in good hands and I was! I am no longer afraid of dentists because of Dr. Alan and his wonderful staff. I will definitely be coming back for future visits.
