Review titled Let down by practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 31 July 2024
I was referred here via the NHS 111 service. I can’t fault the speed at which I received the appointment, nor the reception team at all, they were polite and understanding through the full process. However, alarm bells started ringing as I entered the practice and waited for my appointment and I noticed patients before me being churned out in a matter of 1 or 2 minutes. My whole appointment was extremely rushed and I felt that I was not at all listened to by the dentist. I felt he was quite rude and dismissive of me as I was trying to explain my symptoms. I was palmed off with antibiotics, despite me telling the dentist I felt like the tooth needed filling/taking out. I was then told that the only thing they could do was extract it which would be an 8-10 week wait despite me saying I’m at the point now where I can’t eat because of it. Both myself, the patient before and the patient after me were all prescribed antibiotics. And, while I don’t know the details of their situations, definitely, in my case it seems that antibiotics were prescribed in lieu of any real treatment options. It seems they are trying to get people in and as quickly as possible. I left feeling extremely upset as I had not been listened to at all by the dentist and there had been no compassion from them. I have since had to arrange the extraction privately as I am unable to wait 8-10 weeks to get the tooth removed. It’s very disappointing that this is a practice that the 111 Service chose to use as I feel it is a disservice to those that need an emergency appointment and have little other choice.

Review titled Emergency Appointment Ask for another Surgery
Rated 1 star out of 5

I was given an emergency appointment to see the Dentist. He explained that it was very limited in what he could do for me. It was explained I needed a crown and several filling because I was grinding my teeth. The dentist was unable to do the crown for me I would have to find a dentist? I asked how? He had no answer. A basic filling and proscription was given to me. I was charged £75+ for the 5 mins experience and X ray was taken but not reviewed or looked at. It was daylight robbery. This Emergency service needs to be closed as they are taking advantage of people who desperately need help. I believe the serious of my issues I could of been redirected to specialist to get my teeth reviewed and sorted. Instead I am back at square one looking for a dentist.

Review titled Total Scam Artist and No Respect
Rated 1 star out of 5

So the doctor I went to go see today at Clifton Gardens was on an emergency appointment via the 111 which usually cost about £30. Keep in mind I have used this service often, as it's impossible to get signed up to a dentist, for tooth extractions, root canals and fillings in the past which has always cost me around £30. For whatever reason this lovely chap decided that price tag would be set to £70.70 and when I quizzed this fact due to the implication I've never had to pay that high before - I was basically told to leave. This is totally disgusting that they're trying to charge almost £40 above what the NHS 111 site established.
