FEEDBACK
Patients Speak Their Mind
"Dr. Ismail – You are the most fantastic dentist I have had the pleasure of being a patient. Your gentle approach and performance
of your duties as a dentist and humanitarian are exemplary. I would not hesitate to recommend you as a dentist.
Your integrity reflects an upstanding member of society. (Especially when I paid you via EFT R17000 instead of R1700). You immediately
called me and refunded the excess monies. I still chuckle about it with my family."
I wish you every success in your new practice in Durban and want you to know how much your are missed in Johannesburg.
Dawn Paxinos
"Dr Ismail has been our family dentist for many years. We have experienced him as extremely compassionate, patient, friendly and dedicated to his work.
He's always treated us with the greatest respect and I can recommend him to anyone as a family dentist.
I trust that he will be successful in his new environment and his new patients will share the same sentiments."

I have been a patient of Dr. Fawzia Kadwa for approximately 4 years now. I initially started my visits to her practice when she was in Johannesburg but I am so comfortable with her, she is so passionate, gentle and available that I refuse to see anyone else. I literally schedule my dentist visits for whenever I am in Durban because I trust her so much.Â
The first time I went for a consult to Fawzia, by recommendation of both my sister and brother-in-law, I had to remove wisdom teeth, some of which, were tricky and looked as though they would require surgery, Fawzia was able to remove each tooth within a few minutes without me having to ever need stitches. Totally happy, completely trust her, would strongly recommend her to anyone I know."
Thania Abrahams
"Visiting the dentist was always a dreadful thought. However it was far from a dreadful experience when visiting Dr Kadwa. And I have been visiting her for many years. Her warm and gentle character instantly made me feel at ease, and made me forget about all the drilling, injections,fillings and pains of extraction that I was about to experience. I have always received expert dental advice and treatment from her , and also experienced minimal pain at all dental appointments which I largely attribute to her very steady and gentle hand.Â
If you're looking for a warm, gentle, and very pleasant dental experience, Dr Kadwa is highly recommended. "
Fehmeeda  Akoob
"I have the utmost faith that your practice in KZN will be a total success, thanks to the family orientated approach that my family and I have been accustomed to. You will be sorely missed in Joburg. All the best for the future."
Sudhir Bodhie
Dr Fawzia Kadwa is one of the most accomplished and Proffesional dentists I have had the pleasure of visiting .
Pleasure is not a word I would generally associate with dentistry and to say that a visit to the dentist is actually something I looked forward to would come as a surprise to most who fear these visits .
I have come to her for my general cleaning for years and have referred many friends to her .
A quote from a friend upon learning that Dr Kadwa had moved to Durban was "Why did you send me to her - she was so amazing and now I can't go to any other dentist ! "
Her hands are gentle , her manner reassuring and her expertise unquestionable .
Once you go to Fawzia , you will never again miss your yearly checkup because it's no longer a terrible and painful experience!
She is accomplished in the latest technology and has done root canal treatments as well as crowns for me .
She will reassure you and attempt to make each visit as comfortable as possible .
