Review titled No Care
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 November 2024
I have been a patient at this practice for 30 years. Sadly, within this timeframe, I have seen its demise. I really care about my teeth. I have always attended the dentist every 6 months. However, this is now impossible! They keep cancelling my appointments. I’m a teacher and apparently my dentist doesn’t work after 2PM or during the holidays. Consequently, even if I do book in for the holidays (which I keep trying to do!) it’s just cancelled with a cold and emotionless letter sent to my old address - not even a text. I only knew it was cancelled because the people who moved into my old house have forwarded my post! My latest appointment in this Christmas holiday has just been cancelled yet again. They won’t give me another dentist despite the fact that the one I’ve got literally cannot see me because they don’t work after I’ve finished work or in the holidays. They won’t give me another dentist and I cannot get in at another dentist because they aren’t accepting new patients. When I’m paying £450 a month in National Insurance and thousands of pounds in tax as an 40% tax payer and I can’t even have my teeth checked it makes you wonder where this country has gone wrong. Sadly, our healthcare system is worse than those in less economically developed countries. Please, please, please book me in for an appointment! The lack of care is appalling.

Review titled What's happened?
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Jamie - Posted on 08 February 2024
My past few appointments have been like this. I took a bus, turned up way before time only to be told it was cancelled and no update. My next appointment I asked to rearrange it and was told it was cancelled because the dentist was on holiday. Phoned today to rearrange my appointment to be told it was cancelled because the dentist is leaving and to phone back at the end of March. I'm told they sent me a letter to my old address from over 2 years ago even though I updated them a few times mainly the day I moved in. I asked why they didn't send an txt and apparently people change their mobiles all the time so they don't. (changing a mobile phone doesn't change the number!). And sending emails is not a thing. For the first time in many years it did feel like the receptionist was putting the blame on me and making excuses up for why they have not updated their system. Even when I asked if I could rearrange my appointment I was bombarded with queations before I could even give my name and date of birth. When I said it all seems a little confusing having to ring back after March with zero information on what was happening, I was scolded like a child at school for asking a simple question. If you are not updated on something and told to ring back after March then yes, it does seem a little confusing.

Review titled Surprised and disappointed
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Peter Branson - Posted on 18 May 2023
Called in person yesterday to ask if check up reminders are sent every 6 or 12 months to be told the patient must request a check up. I asked to book one and was told that I am no longer a patient as my last treatment was in 2021! I am 75 years old and have never missed an appointment, always paid for my treatment on time. The last treatment I had was root canal treatment, time consuming and costly. Very harsh rules that I was not aware of. My son receives 6 monthly reminders from his practice in Rotherham where I used to live and I thought this was the protocol.

Dear Peter, We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with our practice. Due to our current NHS appointment available we are unfortunately not able to offer appointments to everyone who contacts the practice, and this can include patients who have previously attended. We are only able to offer appointments subject to capacity. I am sorry that we have been unable to assist you at this time. Kind regards Julie Wood - {my}dentist Patient Services Team Leader
