Review titled Much improved
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 February 2024
Booked online - first time when booked online they haven't cancelled on me. Only appointment available was at night which wasn't desirable but online booking preferred. Receptionist was nice. Dentist and assistant were very nice and explained things very well. Was very quick and plesent. Was even finished before appointment time was scheduled. Forms sent to fill in before appointment. Waiting time was short, went in before

Review titled Upsetting experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mrs D Batfoot - Posted on 25 April 2023
Today I attended an 8am apt in good time. Waited to get in as doors not open ( with several elderly patients struggling to stand) Greeted eventually by immediately being asked for my payment for my check up. Waited half an hour past my apt. When I asked what was happening I was told my dentist had not come in yet and told to take a seat and wait. I said I had work at 9am but told I can either wait or rearrange the apt. Couldn’t refund my payment. Rescheduled for 8am Thursday 27th at 8am but I asked will I be seen at 8am as I had another important appointment that day too.Told who knows! I feel this dental practice is very much aware of limited choice of NHS places and plays on that with a take it or leave it attitude. They seem very focused on taking money but not realising this can be a very anxious time for patients. I have had a second opinion on another occasion which led to me saving a tooth that I was advised to have removed. I have lost confidence in this dental practice as a result but they are quite right in that there is no choice due to the lack of NHS dentists. It’s a sorry state of affairs. God help us if our health care is ever dealt with like this. Since privatisation of dentistry the country’s dental health has rapidly deteriorated.

Review titled Very rude and worst Service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 31 March 2023
had my appointment today at 3:30 and I was there at 3:34. Receptionist said I've been marked fta and she was not willing to speak to the dentist that the patient is here in the queue and would she like to go for the appointment. Very rude front desk who are unwilling to help and have no issues if patients leave the practice. Took advance from me and gave no service. This is against consumer rights. Either refund my money or give me another appointment.

Review titled Wonderful service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by David W - Posted on 28 March 2023
I attended for a check up and hygienist appointment this month and would definitely recommend this dental practice. The staff were very considerate and the service was great. I had everything explained to me and recommended treatments too. Great service all round. Thank you.

Review titled Amazing practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Deb w - Posted on 02 February 2023
I am a very nervous and anxious person in the dentist, the dentist was amazing, she calmed me down, reasured me that she would not do anything I was unable to deal with, and we have come up with a plan that had completely put my mind at rest.

Review titled Communication issues.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 February 2023
Impossible to get through on the phone to cancel/ rearrange appointments. I was an NHS patient pre pandemic and suddenly i am no longer allowed. As a nurse I've been a bit busy and my teeth have not been a priority. I have been penalised.

Review titled Emergency Treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs Read - Posted on 04 December 2022
I was seen at very short notice by a very lovely, kind, knowledgeable dentist and a very caring dental nurse for severe tooth pain. The dentist was extremely understanding of the severity of my problem and she took the time to explain the options and was very reassuring. I felt very looked after by both of them. 100% recommend.

Review titled Nightmare
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 November 2022
Had a root canal booked, get a text it was cancelled. Called them and explained I need it due to the pain I'm in. Next appointment was 2 weeks and they couldn't even see me on time. Ik fed up with this dentist. They receptionist, some are nice some are not. I feel very uneasy sitting in the waiting room. But I think they need to be on time especially since my appointment was the first one of the day!
