The dentist is a disgrace.Time after time appointments are cancelled at short notice with a plethora of excuses.You are kept waiting ages and mant times he does not turn up at all.Agree with all the negative reviews.Unprofessional and NHS should act.A pity because previous dentist was brilliant.

Review titled Practice lacking in so many ways
Rated 1 star out of 5

I have used this practice for about 50 years and have been very satisfied with the previous Practitioner's. About 2 years ago it was taken over by another Dentist. I had a number of appointments for various treatments over 18 months. Fillings,Crowns and scale and polish. The treatment was poor and appointments were being cancelled at the last minute on a number of occasions. I received some abysmal treatment from the principle dentist. I had to look for another practice locally and have been delighted to get away from Mereside Dental Practice. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I have to say the dental assistants and receptionists were professional and always courteous. I have no issues with them

Review titled Dissatisfied
Rated 1 star out of 5

I had been a patient of this practice from a little girl but last year I kept saying I had an issue with my gums and it got neglected badly because my apts were always cancelled. When I did get in I had gum disease which had got infected and only antibiotics could help me. I was told I would be seen regular to help clear the infection. No reminders sent and when I tried to book an apt it was always cancelled. I have found a much better practice who has sorted my gums and sees me regular to keep on top of my problem. This could have been nipped in the bud if seen regular to begin with .

Review titled Disgraceful

We arrived today to find the practice all locked up this is after the last 5 appointments cancelled on the day !! this is for my 9 year old daughter who we had to take out of school for the appointment no explanation a passer by had to tell us he was away with the latest excuse !! Work when he is there is questionable he is to busy on his moblie even answering his mobile while giving treatment !! If he dies show you could be there hours as he turns up late and doesnt do am appointments I feel sorry for the staff having to work there when he gives little notice he’s not showing up and expects the girls to have to call everyone !!! Dental association needs to look in to this !!

Review titled Awful practice
Rated 1 star out of 5

This place is shockingly bad. Appointment are made for future dates only to be cancelled on the day as dentist hasn't turned up for his days work. Rebooked appointments are then made only to be cancelled on the day too. Todays appointment we didn't even get a phone call to cancel, turned up at surgery to find a sign saying closed!!! This place really needs to be looked in to and taken on by someone who is capable of doing their job.

Review titled Terrible service
Rated 1 star out of 5

Cancelled numerous times, when you do get in, you sit in the waiting room for at least an hour, they are unable to keep to a schedule and appointment times, then they try and charge you extra because they have failed as a service to provide basic levels of care. Just a disgrace and general poor service.

Review titled 3 cancelled appointments
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mrs Hayward - Posted on 11 May 2023
I booked an appointment for a check up, it has been cancelled on the day 3 times. The last time I was told not to turn up as the dentist had not arrived, the practice said they would call me but they didn't. I waited all afternoon for them to call me. I feel they are trying to get patients to go private as they can take you off the NHS list if you don't have an appointment within 2 years.

Review titled Deeply disappointing level of patient care!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Nick Smith - Posted on 26 April 2023
For the sixth time since November 2022 I have had my appointment cancelled. The cancellation came 40 minutes before the time of the appointment. I really feel the British Dental Association should look closely at the manner in which this practice operates. The practice seems to have little regard for NHS patients and I can't help wondering if this appalling level of professionalism is designed to 'shed' NHS patients in favour of catering for private patients. A really sad state of affairs !

Review titled Cancelled yet again
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Carole - Posted on 19 April 2023
Appointment cancelled at very short notice for the sixth time since November. Find it very unprofessional and frustrating. We have been at the practice for over 30 years and previous two dentists were great. Can’t believe it wants to treat patients, but there is nowhere else to go as no one taking on new patients. Good on you NHS!

Review titled Multiple cancellations of appointments at short notice.
Rated 1 star out of 5

I am extremely disappointed and saddened at having to write this review after 15 years of excellent NHS service at Mereside Dental Practice in Alsager. From late 2022 my partner and I have had three appointments cancelled at little or no notice due to the 'non-appearance' of the practice dentist. As far as I can make out, the main 'designated dental surgeon' is based in Birmingham (some 60 miles remote from the practice) and appears to rely on the receptionist to cancel appointments at short notice due to 'problems of travel'. I cannot comment on the dentist's clinical competence as I have yet to receive any treatment ! This said, my view on both the professionalism of the service provided and patient care is lamentable. I feel urgent attention is required if this practice is to continue to provide a viable NHS-based dentistry service in Alsager.
