Dentist at Healthlink

This is a massive gratitude post, for those of you who know me personally , you’ll know that I’ve spent the last 12 months going through Dental Implant surgery , professionally and immaculately supplied by Dentist at HealthLink / Townsville Dentist. Dr Girish Basavaraj and his team were absolutely sensational during the process and the end result speaks for itself. After years of dental pain and bad genetics I am now completely pain free and able to smile like there’s no tomorrow. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Girish and his team if you are wanting any kind Of dental procedure done .

Had a check up, clean, and X-rays done here for a very affordable price. Was a wonderful experience and even more caring staff. Dr. Gill was very comforting and very gentle. Would highly recommend such an amazing place for dental treatment

I had a difficult extraction and Dr Gill was professional and calm throughout. After care follow up visit was also very caring. Thanks.

My family and l have used this dental clinic since it opened. My children all required braces which all the staff went above and beyond to achieve a very high outcome. Their normal dentistry work is also of very high standard and they make you feel very comfortable and welcoming and they put you at ease if you are an anxious patient. 5 stars are not enough l rate them 10 out of 10. I have also recommended this clinic to my friends, which they now use.

I first meet Doctor G on a Saturday in 2015, I was in significant pain with an abscesses under my tooth. I remember when making the appointment I said to receptions that I was in a lot of pain, my appointment was made for 2:00pm. I no sooner got of the telephone and it rang, it was Doctor G's receptionist who said to me Doctor G wants you come down now. I walked in, filled in some easy paper work and had my picture taken. Doctor G took me into the treatment room and looked at me and said, " I am not going to do anything until I stop the pain". Doctor G stopped the pain, I was terrified, I have a very really fear of the dentist, always have done since I was a small child. Doctor G, knew instinctively what was happening in my mouth. His nurse held my hand and gently rubbed my arm, Doctor G constantly checked that I was okay, he would stop and ask, "are you okay"? At that time I was pain free, prescribed medication for the abscesses and pain relief medication. I had several follow up appointments to fix this one tooth, and finally had root canal treatment. I still have this tooth and it is still pain free. Doctor G then made some assessment around all of my teeth, so the journey began, every two to three weeks I returned to Doctor G to have fillings replaced, new fillings added and my teeth cleaned. I built a beautiful and trusting relationship with this amazing man and his wonderful staff. Yesterday 16/10/2019 I had my six 6 month check up and clean, not one once of pain or discomfort, I am so grateful to Doctor G that I now have very healthy and very clean teeth. I look forward to my check ups and have no fear whatsoever. I have recommended Doctor G to many friends and family, funnily enough they too had fear of the dentist but like me they rave about this amazing and gentle man. My husband who also had a fear of dentist, he also heads off every six 6 months for his check up without the blink of an eye. Thank you Doctor G and your amazing staff for having a positive and life changing impact. As I mentioned, I have recommended Doctor G to my family and friends and we all appreciate his professional, gentle and caring persona. I am now fear free and enjoy going to see my dentist, Doctor G at Healthlink Townsville.

Dr. Girish has been my dentist from past 4 years. I have had various procedures including root canal and implants. He is very professional and provides excellent customer service. He gives ample information beforehand and gives various options depending on our circumstances. He is very patient and his deep baritone certainly helps in calming nerves!! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

Such a great experience, the staff were so welcoming at Dental reception. Dr Girish and Dr A Clarke explained everything so well, it was a pleasure each time to return without fear.The whole procedure at the hospital then at their clinic went sooo smoothly & it was so nice to advise Dr Clarke that I was doing so well and didn't even require a review appointment. Dr A Clarke saw my procedure to the end.Thank U all.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

What an amazing experience at Dentist @ Health Link. As a person that was terrified of the dentist I can now say I go with no anxiety thanks to Dr Girish and his professional caring team. He saved my teeth by diagnosing periodontal disease and guided me through the whole process so now I have healthy gums. After a discussion around my crooked smile, Dr G identified that I would not require braces and with two veneers I could change the whole look of my smile within two short visits. I am so happy with the results, I love my new smile and feel much more confident overall. Highly recommend this practice!

I took my 2 kids, 14 yr and 6yr, for a dental check with Dr Girish at Healthlink. Suffice to say, our experience was brilliant. Arranging an appointment was efficient, and staff receptive. Dr Girish took pains to explain processes in a very child friendly manner, and he was very courteous and professional. Indicative of our excellent experience was my 6yr old,whose first dental check it was, is very keen to come back.Overall,highly recommended Dentist and practice.

My 9yo son had an extra tooth growing in the roof of his mouth behind his front teeth which was really bothering him and he needed to have it pulled out. My son has Autism and struggles with anxiety, taste, touch, smell etc which made this procedure a little difficult even with all the preparation prior to his appointment. Dr Girish Basavaraj and his team were absolutely AMAZING and so patient with my son and his specific needs. They talked to my son about his fears and explained the procedure step by step with him so patiently even though having to repeat themselves several times as he was so anxious and scared. My son was struggling big time mentally with the numbing gel and needle and although he was asked if he wanted to stop the procedure and go home, my son wanted to continue with the procedure because he felt safe and heard. At the appointment there were times he became a little hysterical and i thought there was no way we were leaving with that tooth out BUT i was pleasantly surprised. Dr Girish Basavaraj and his team helped my son get through this difficult time and although it hurt a little, my son left that dental clinic happy and extremely proud of himself. We have tried a couple of dental clinics since moving here but we have definitely found the right fit for my son as they achieved what i thought was going to be the impossible. Dr Girish Basavaraj even called us personally the following day to check on my son and his recovery. Now that is definitely not service we get everyday. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone especially those with similar circumstances which can be a challenge. They were extremely professional yet so compassionate. Definitely deserving of 5 stars.
