Patient reviews

★★★★☆ 3.9 from 13 reviews

Natashia Thompson ★☆☆☆☆

Dr mackling is an absolute horror for any young children requiring treatment. Her famous words to my screaming child was 'that's enough! Now stop' this was said twice and not quietly, as someone in the waiting room heard it all. Complete disgrace and clearly needs a refresher course seeing as she 'qualified in 1997'

Laura Denyer ★★★☆☆

Iv been taking my children here for years, there usual dentist was unwell so had to book in with someone else.i didn't catch her name but she was Extremely rude the way she spoke to me and my children even had a miserable dental nurse helping her out. Will not be returning to her. I'm shocked there's not been more complaints

Rhiannon Jones ★★★★★

Fantastic practice, staff friendly. I’ve had the best treatments from Dr McKinley, very thorough and all very well explained to me.

shaun lovelock 84 ★★★★★

Been a customer since 2004 and never had any issues with my treatment, prices are a bit pricey but I guess you pay for what you get, I've always seen nick and he's absolutely brilliant with his dental work.
