Walking from The Forum and St Leonards Station
The Forum sits directly above St Leonards Station and the bus interchange, so the walk is the same whether you're coming off a train or leaving your office.
- Leave The Forum plaza and head to the Pacific Highway.
- Walk along the Pacific Highway towards Crows Nest Metro.
- Look for Nest Dental at Suite 99, on the ground floor of 545 Pacific Highway, just before you reach the Metro.
Allow about 8 minutes at an easy pace. It's flat, footpath all the way, and an easy walk in a lunch break.
Coming by Metro
The Crows Nest Metro station is about 80 metres from our door, roughly a one-minute walk. Crows Nest is one stop from Victoria Cross in North Sydney and one stop from Chatswood. That makes us easy to reach from the CBD side or from further up the North Shore without changing to the T1 line.
Coming by bus
Buses run along the Pacific Highway through St Leonards, with stops within a block of the practice in either direction. If you're arriving at the St Leonards bus interchange under The Forum, follow the walking route above.
Driving and parking on the Pacific Highway
If you're driving, there's metered street parking on the side streets running off the Pacific Highway, plus parking stations in The Forum precinct a few minutes' walk away. Parking near the highway gets busier during office hours. When you book, tell our team your appointment time and we'll suggest the easiest option for that part of the day.
Fitting a dentist visit around your working day
Most people who search for a dentist near The Forum are trying to fit an appointment into a full calendar. A few things make that easier:
- Morning and Saturday appointments. We open at 9:00am on weekdays and from 8:00am on Saturdays.
- Online booking that takes a couple of minutes, so you can book between meetings.
- Same-day emergency appointments. We hold time aside each day for urgent problems like toothache or a broken tooth. Call 02 9436 1874 first thing.
- Health fund claims on the spot. We claim through HICAPS, so your rebate is applied before you leave.
If you work at Royal North Shore Hospital or in the surrounding health and office precinct, a check-up and clean can often fit into a long lunch break.
