    I needed an emergency private appointment which was made within 3 hours by a very friendly receptionist. The work was completed swiftly and efficiently. I was very happy with the service.

  5. Review titled Terrible Dentist

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 21 June 2023

    Firstly I was kept waiting for half an hour after my appointed time(OK this happens on occasion), but this was only the beginning of a terrible experience. I was under the impression that I was attending to have some further work done only to be told this was a check up. The dentist himself was obnoxious and unhelpful. It was as though because I am an NHS patient he couldn't be bothered about me as I was not paying his private rate for treatment. I asked him a question about how to secure my dental plate following an extraction, his answer was merely a shrug of the shoulders. He shows no compassion or empathy and is a poor advert for an NHS practice. If it was possible to secure a place in another practice I would do so without hesitation and would recommend to anyone to avoid this practice.

  6. Review titled Ok but Pushing Private Treatment

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 12 April 2023

    Visited with tooth ache as an emergency appointment, Overall examination and X-ray done pretty quick and slotted in appointment quickly but X-ray showed root canal was needed. I was advised I’d have to have it done privately as NHS dentist wouldn’t have the equipment/ skill to carry out root canal required, was unlikely to be successful Declined private treatment with them, luckily my usual nhs dentist was able to slot me in appointment, root canal done with no problems nhs band 2. Be careful with the information received.

  7. Review titled Good friendly service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Linda Strong - Posted on 13 January 2024

    I was referred by 111 the day before after ringing them with acute pain. I was contacted by the practice within the hr & given an emergency appointment for the next day. The receptionist, dentist & assistant were friendly & helpful. I was so pleased & grateful to be seen as my own practice was no help. I found the dentist efficient helpful giving me antibiotics after diagnosing a abscess. So relieved & pleased with the help I was given. Thankyou to all. I felt I was treated well & still able to access my NHS status.

    3 out of 4 appointments cancelled, once an hour before going and two on arrival. Told them we wouldn't be going back, only to receive the reply, "no problem"!

  9. Review titled Disapointed

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 28 November 2022

    Have twice been to the practice this year for appointments, only to be told the dentist had moved on and the appointment was to be moved to another day. A phone call would have saved a great deal of wasted fuel and my time. On the second occasion they said they’d tried to contact me. They have the correct number. No evidence they’d tried. I won’t be going back.
