I've been looking for a new dentist, and I'm so happy I found Dr. Ho! Her and the team at Dentistry on Parkdale are warm and kind, and they took the time to explain the how and why of everything they were doing in detail. They also took the time to address my concerns and answer my questions. As someone who sometimes finds dentists disingenuous, I was thrilled with the experience and look forward to returning and recommending them to my friends and family.

Moved to hamilton and was in need of a new Dentist. Found them through Opencare as Dentistry on Parkdale had the highest reviews so decided to give them a shot. Previously had been going to the same dentist since I was a kid so was not sure what to expect.
Was very happy after my first appointment, follow up appointment for cleaning and third for a couple small fillings. I appreciated how thorough Dr. Ho was in explaining what my current teeth situation was even showing xrays with detailed pictures of my teeth that caught a small fissure cavity that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.
All the staff are extremely friendly, Im glad I gave this Dentistry a shot and will be coming back for the long run. Keep up the great work to the whole Dentistry on Parkdale team !

After re-locating I needed a dentist in my area, thankfully my sister Nancy recommended her dentist Dr. Karen Ho and I am so grateful she did. Dr. Ho was very professional, gracious and kind along with all the staff. Everything was explained to me in detail of the procedure now and for future appointments. They provide a high level or care and compassion for their patients. Dr. Karen Ho will now be my dentist and my level of anxiety will be a lot less going for each appointment.
Thank you all so much!!!!!

My daughter (5 yrs old) had an amazing experience with Dr. Ho. She was instantly at ease with her, myself included. I have never seen her so happy at the dentist before, it was truly heartwarming. Dr. Ho was outstanding! She was very attentive, patient, considerate, and kind. All qualities I desire and value in a dentist. The staff at the front desk were helpful and so pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend Dentistry on Parkdale!

I had an excellent experience seeing Dr. Ho. I was looking for a new dentist since moving back to Hamilton and was not disappointed. Dr. Ho is very thorough, professional, and kind. Her office staff and the hygienists are also all wonderful. I am a bit scared about going to the dentist, but having a couple of cavity fillings done by Dr. Ho was very comfortable. I would recommend this office if you are looking for a great dentist.

Excellent experience. I have never received such a thorough exam with clear explanation of why things were being examined and what the results were. All information was clear, easy to understand and the staff was very friendly, helpful, and patient. All procedure and pricing is clearly discusses and laid out before any action is taken and I appreciate how I never felt forced to anything. The entire staff feels inviting and personable and I'm looking forward to making Dr Ho my consistent go-to Dentist. I just wish they were open later on Fridays and weekends, but I'll gladly make my schedule change to make sure I can get in with Dentistry on Parkdale. Highly recommend!

Let me start by saying I have despised going to the dentist ever since I was a kid.. until NOW. Dr. Ho is awesome, she is so easy to talk to and genuinely cares about how you feel, it truly is a judgement free experience. Her skills are unmatched. Her team is wonderful, they’re always happy and welcoming and work hard to ensure you’re satisfied before, during and after your appointments. I never thought I could have so much fun at the dentist, especially with Dr. Ho and her assistant Cassandra! I tell everyone about how great this office is and how much they’re missing out on a great dentist.

Dr. Ho has been fantastic with my son, and my son actually enjoys going to see her. She is very good with him, and he and I feel as she both cares about her work. Definitely the nicest dentist I have ever dealt with.

Dr. Ho is the BEST DENTIST I've ever seen. Let me begin by saying that I have lived in over 5 countries, multiple cities and seen many dentists throughout my life. All the dentists I've seen before her told me that I needed braces, but did not explain why. It turns out I needed them in order to prevent my teeth falling out. I've had a minor pain that turned major in one tooth and all the other dentists I've seen can't seem to tell me why. After just my initial exam with Dr. Ho, she not only explained why but also outlined a game plan to help me with the pain. Money is always a concern, and she understand that. She is not at all pushy and she's all about giving her patients options, including working with the patient to come up with the least stressful and most affordable solutions. Go see her, especially if you've been having unresolved issues! Don't wait! The more you wait, the less options you have! Entrust Dr. Ho to help you get to the bottom of it!

I’ve been going to Dentistry I’m Parkdale for 23 years. It is the only dentist I’ve ever been to and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.
They take nothing but amazing care of your teeth and when they come across an issue they are continuously keeping an eye on it and making sure the health of your teeth stays or makes improvement. They will do anything possible to make sure your teeth are healthy. I would definitely recommend Dentistry on Parkdale to anyone that is looking for a new dentist.

To be honest all the staffs at Parkdale Dentistry are very respectful. The place is very clean and smells great. The dentist always explains what they're about to do and after they've finished they explain to you things you have to do etc. My son loves it there, there are toys magazine, a machine if I'm right for coffee and hot chocolate, always parking available and there are located at great spot where buses are convenient. Another thing is that you can never miss your appointment cause they always sent out a reminder. On the other hand they also sent a text message to wish you a happy birthday which I find very thoughtful. I would recommend this place 100% . If you're looking for a nice, quite, clean, loving staffs and excellent dentists this is the place to go. Dr. Ho is a wonderful person and is always available to answer any questions. Remember never judge a book by its cover go check out this place for yourself and you will see what I'm talking about. This place is overall excellent and no regrets. Thanks to all staffs and Dr. Ho for their excellent service. I give this place 5 stars cause they really deserves it.

I was referred to Parkdale Dentistry by a friend. They said that they have amazing staff and make you feel very comfortable. I now refer Parkdale Dentistry to anyone I know. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Each and every one I have met has been so polite and made me feel like I’ve been going there for years. I went there for the first time when I was pregnant and they did anything they could to make me feel comfortable. This is my dentist for life.

Dr. Ho and her team at Parkdale Dentistry are incredible - I am still so impressed with how professional, kind, caring, and gentle they are.
I had to get some bridge work done, and I was worried, as I've never really had good experiences with dentists in the past, and I knew the procedure wouldn't be very pleasant. But Dr. Ho made all of my worries go away! The procedure went great. She is the best dentist I have ever had, and I no longer worry about going to the dentist because of her kindness!

I have been a patient at Dentistry on Parkdale for many years. I have seen a few dentist come and go over this time, all good. But Dr. Karen Ho and her staff have brought a new culture to this office. Their constant care and enthusiasm to educate their patients in oral care and hygiene are a welcome change. I have been very satisfied with their service and results.I would recommend this office to anyone needing dental care.

I had a dental emergency and was referred to this dentist. They fit me in the same day and were super friendly! They discussed all my options for payments and insurance. When they figured out what was causing my pain they gave me a couple options for treatment and discussed each one with the pros and cons and helped me make a decision on what worked best for me not only for treatment but financially. They are really committed to helping you. The office was very nice and clean and welcoming. I would 100% recommend Dr. Ho and Dentistry on Parkdale!

A week ago I had a root canal. When I learned I was going to need one I was worried - everyone knows the horror stories about root canals, after all! Well let me tell you something: Dr. China was fantastic! I didn't feel a thing during the root canal, and she was so gentle putting in the anesthetic that I could barely feel that at all.
When I went for my initial consultation I was impressed by how thorough Dr. Ho and her staff are. The hygienist that looked at my teeth, Leah, was fantastic. When she checked my gum pocket depth I barely felt a thing. With my previous dentist this was a painful process that I dreaded. When I went back for my full cleaning Leah was excellent, even as she scaled my teeth I didn't experience any discomfort. The modern fluoride process they used was light years ahead of any other fluoridation I had ever received - they painted the fluoride on to my teeth, rather than having my teeth sit in a bath of fluoride. I would much rather not have trays of fluoride sitting in my mouth!
I have more appointments at Dentistry on Parkdale, and I am looking forward to them. Sure, nobody really wants to go to the dentist, but if you are going to the dentist it should be a practice that is as professional and gentle as Dentistry on Parkdale.

Since I am a very nervous patient, I am so fortunate to have found Dr. Ho. Even though I’ve lived 68 years with a tongue tie & done absolutely fine, I decided I wanted it fixed. Dr. Ho & her staff were fantastic. I was petrified but they were so wonderful & caring. The discomfort was minimal & the healing fast. All the small differences are wonderful & I would recommend it to anyone. Although maybe only with Dr. Ho. You guys truly are the BEST!!

I have had many dentists in my life and have lucked out with Dr. ho. She is very caring, gentle and very skilled. Her team is professional and just as skilled. They make you feel relaxed and welcomed for every appointment. They are very accommodating with schedules. They offer expert advice but don't push you into making decisions. They respect your wishes and will not push you into something you do not want. I recommend this location with their highly skilled and caring staff.

She will always take time to answer any questions you have and makes sure you completely understand before you leave her office. Dr. Ho and her office staff are simply amazing and I highly recommend her!

I have always been a nervous patient and avoid treatment until it's absolutely necessary. That has now changed. Dr Ho and her staff could not have been more compassionate, more understanding or more gentle. They explained everything fully and completely and were very sensitive to my concerns and my comfort. I could not have asked for a more positive experience.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Ho yesterday and it went amazing. Dr. Ho and her staff answered all of my questions and concerns making me feel completely comfortable and confident I was at the right place. I chose this location since it’s just down the street from me and also because I’ve heard many great things about Dr. Ho - all which are I know now to be true. This dental practice is situated right across from Parkdale park and from the moment you walk in the staff are friendly. Patients who feel too anxious getting any dental work done can have nitrous oxide gas which is very helpful and makes being afraid of the dentist a thing of the past. Dr. Ho also is able to insert a camera into your mouth and show you on the tv screen exactly what she will be doing. The entire team is professional and cheerful. If you need a new dentist in the Stoney Creek or Hamilton area this is the place!

I am currently undergoing treatment by Dr. Ho for (Bite) occlusal adjustment. I was somewhat skeptical about proceeding with the treatment, but after the initial adjustment I noticed a significant improvement in my bite. For years, I experienced headaches and jaw discomfort due to teeth clenching. Immediately after the first appointment I noticed a significant decline in both. The simplest way to describe it is that my bite no longer feels off balance and my jaw no longer aches from clenching my teeth. I no longer favour one side of my mouth for chewing as it is equally comfortable on both sides now. I am glad I took Dr. Ho"s advice.
Dr. Ho and her staff are very knowledgeable and always caring.

I have had lots of work done in the last while ranging from cleanings to crowns and fillings. The work was completed expertly and well done. I have had numerous compliments on my teeth as a result of the work completed by Dr. Ho and her staff. I have only had great experiences with this office. I highly recommend this office.

Excited to share my 10 star experience-
Hi everybody, this is a review that has been 2 plus years in the making. As it is always good to wait to see if things work out, instead of jumping the gun and realizing as time goes, that things really didn’t work out in the end. But in this case I have a VERY POSITIVE experience that I would like to share. SO, here is my review of Dr. Karen Ho from Dentistry on Parkdale, Hamilton, Ontario.
I had been suffering from TMJ (temporomandibular disorder) for at least 2+ decades. Anyone suffering from it, knows the headaches, stabbing pains in the jaw, ears and behind the eyes. I would go through a mouth guard a year and sometimes two. When my dentist retired, Dr. Ho took over the practice and at my first visit with her, she took about a half hour just getting to know me and my history. (As of 2018, I have been a patient at Dentistry on Parkdale for 48 years) Afterwards she told me that she thought that she could help me with my TMJ and proceeded to explain how it would work, I was totally on board.
The thought of no more pain and headaches would now be a possibility. She was able to re align my jaw through a series of small molded appliances. The experience was one to remember. I could feel the muscles in my face moving around and finally relax and release. I have not suffered the pain or have had headaches related to the TMJ since! I am SO THANKFUL to have Dr. Ho as my dentist and I whole heartedly recommend her for anyone looking for a dentist or is suffering from TMJ specifically.
I know Google has 5 stars for the review, but I give you 10! xo

This dentist clinic is phenomenal. People make me feel comfortable right away, staffs are patient and gentle. I've been scared of dentists like some are scared of spiders. Last dentist I saw was 8 years ago and before that... another 8 years. Every time it is extremely difficult for me. There’s a lot of work to do in my mouth after all those years. They are fantastic; I am more and more comfortable every day. They do know how to deal with an anxious person and they do understand how it can be hard for someone. I’ve had the opportunity to have both doctors and they are both awesome, as well as every staffs i had the chance to meet. They adapted their schedule and make up everything possible to help me with my insurance. A big thank you Dr Ho and all your team for your patience, adaptability and understanding.
I highly recommend. The best dentist I ever had. I would drive hours to continue my follow up with this clinic. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I had my first appointment with Dentistry on Parkdale July 31/18. Dr China Sumayyah completed a thorough preliminary examination and was assisted by Shivonne, her capable assistant. My experience was very positive. I was given a thorough explanation of the proposed dental care plan and we reviewed my options. I was treated respectfully and given every professional consideration. China is a competent and caring Dr. and I give her and the staff at the clinic my highest recomendation. I would also like to comment on Julie, the Office Manager. She was both thorough and considerate.

Dentistry on Parkdale is a wonderful place.
After years of putting off some much needed reconstructive work, I opted to visit based on the recommendation of a neighbour. Past experience had left me quite apprehensive about anything related to dentistry. I am pleased to say that this is no longer the case! Thanks to Dr. Ho I experienced my first completely pain-free procedure. From the technical preparation, technique, all the way to the outcome, Dr. Ho has impressed me! If you are in need of dental work, especially if you have been putting it off, do yourself a favour and go and see Dr. Ho and her team at Dentistry on Parkdale.

All the staff were very kind and friendly and made me feel at ease even though I was anxious.
They answered all of my questions and took care of everything for me. I can't say enough good things about this place and have already recommended them to a friend. Finally found a dentist's office I feel comfortable visiting.

After a stressful last year, I finally went to my dentist, Dr. Ho, complaining at times, of severe jaw pain that ran down the side of my neck & made turning my head almost impossible. After a thorough examination, she was positive I was clenching in my sleep & suggested a custom mouth guard to wear at night... really? Sure enough, it did the trick...amazing...no more pain...you made a very happy believer out of me!
Thank you so much, Dr.Ho & Team!
