Patient reviews
I have seen many dentist over the years, always trying to find the right one. I've been coming to Saxon for a good few years now and I can honestly say they are the best. Since Gerrit has taken over the standards are continually rising. Gerrit is the most understanding, calm dentist I've ever known. He sets the bar for sure. Thanks Saxon Dental!
This practise is outstanding. We were with them when NHS and had the frustration of re-arranged appointments. But since it withdrew from NHS offering it has gone from strength to strength. Now there is excellent customer service. There is excellent care by Gerard and his team. I had a root canal, not the most pleasant experience but explained to me throughout and zero pain either during or after Tracey seems to have got a real handle as Practise Manager and the difference throughout really shows both on the care and also operationally. Yes it costs more but you get what you pay for.
Saxons have done some massive updates and I've got say they have done very well. 1. Dentist that listen and that want to help 2. Price plan 3. Staff are very helpful 4. Tooth removal is not painful at all they wait and make sure you ready Overall I'm very happy
I can highly recommend this dental surgery since being under new management. Both dentists are very thorough, calm and reassuring. Unfortunately I couldn't see my regular dentist Mr Van Niekerk last friday as I needed an emergency appointment but saw Mr Esterhuizen instead who instantly put me at ease. All the staff are very friendly and courteous. I'm extremely grateful for the care they give.
