I’ve been a patient at The Observatory since the Autumn of 2024. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. The reception team are very friendly and super efficient. I was blessed to be assigned to the dentist Thomas Bethke. Thomas has an holistic approach to his dentistry which has been perfect for me having experienced breast cancer in 2023. I always feel listened to and totally trust Thomas in his advice and treatment. I have had excellent treatment from Thomas as well as Dr Simon for some dental implants. The hygienist team and all the dental nurses are fabulous too. I tho…

I went to The Observatory Dental Practice after my former dentist did not respond to an emergency call. From the moment I arrived, the team — and especially Dr Andrew — were exceptional. I received immediate emergency care, and my root canal was scheduled as soon as possible. They were truly lifesavers. I genuinely thought I might lose my molar, but Dr Andrew is highly skilled, calm, and always takes the time to answer all my questions.

I had an extremely positive experience with Thomas Bethke at the Observatory in Falmouth. I was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and professionalism, and he made me feel completely at ease. The examination was very thorough and clearly explained. I’ve now seen three dentists at this practice and every single one has been consistently professional, reassuring, and caring. Likewise the dental nurses and reception team are also extremely attentive and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this practice.”

I recently swapped to the Observatory and I am so impressed with the level of care they provide. Josh Whelan was so knowledgable and friendly, and he went through my dental health in detail and answered every question I had. Yana was lovely and a real expert in dental hygiene. The staff all made me feel incredibly welcome and I had the chance to ask questions and clarify things. Appointments with the Observatory are incredibly comprehensive and go beyond just dental hygiene. I feel I got a really good value service for both general check up and routine hygienist appointment.
