Elaine Bogart ★☆☆☆☆

When I complained about a horrible experience I had with one of the dentists I was told that I would have to leave and find another dental practice. Dreadful - it is impossible to find an NHS dentist. I had been with this practice for around 10 years. Very poor indeed!!!!

Phil Tartt ★☆☆☆☆

Was de registered for apparently missing an examination that I wasn't aware about as never received any form of communication (text or letter) Been an NHS patient for over 12 years with no problems not missing a single appointment but was told because I hadn't been for just over 12 months I was kicked off. (Again not having any information that would ever happen) There's seems to be a systematic agenda to force desperate people left with no dentist to be taken back on privately. Spoke to a rude, unsympathetic receptionist called Jan who couldn't give a toss as long as I registered privately…

Duncan Hutchinson ★★★★★

Can't thank you enough. Had real trouble finding an NHS dentist and therefore my teeth weren't as good as they could have been. Initial appointment showed I needed a good deep clean and a tooth extraction. Clean done 2 weeks later then extraction today. Really quick and efficient, couldn't have been any better. Thank you all, from the reception to the hygienist, the dentist and assistant...all 5 star!

Lea Zo ★☆☆☆☆

Kicked people off the books for not being able to attend during COVID. Rude staff. No leeway for rearranging as you will get strikes and threats to be kicked off the books. NHS patients are not appreciated and it feels like they do not want to have to deal with people who don’t pay privately. People are now left without dentists despite having been going here for a long time. This needs investigating
