I visited my regular dentist today and needed treatment on a sore chipped tooth , Omar who treated me was amazing he listened and talked through the procedure very clearly. The service was professional from Omar and the dental nurse, made me feel so much at ease and everything was explained at the end and some options for the future only if need it. I am always happy with Gidlow Dentist but I felt a review was needed to share

I know a lot of people don’t like going dentist, and I once was one them, but Iv been coming here for many years now and I have to say, it’s the best dentist, Lorraine is fab always treats me with the upmost dignity and respect, she gives me good advice that I take on board. The staff are lovely and friendly, and the place is spotless. Just like to wish them all the best for the future 💖

Worst place ever to seek treatment. Unfriendly reception staff!. Just for a failed first appointment with valid reasons they struck a patient off for future appointments!. I wonder what kind of professionalism this is! Cruel and harsh practice i would call it.

I was very nervous as I haven't seen a dentist for years. Knew I needed an extraction and Dr.Karim-Shoshtari was absolutely wonderful and made me feel at ease and removed the tooth quickly and painlessly. Thank you so much.
