Dentist's Skill and Care

Pros:

  • "She is clearly an incredibly skilled dentist and this, together with her caring manner and genuine likability makes trips to the dentist surprisingly pleasant."
  • "Very happy with the service I received today with Hania the dentist and Hayley (I think that’s her name). I was really nervous and they helped to calm me which made things so much better."
  • "The best dentists I have been to. Very organised, friendly, accessible, communicative and professional."
  • "Carl Oliveiras is a 5 star dentist. I attended as an emergency due to a molar splitting in half and being in pain. As always ...he took his time ...making sure I was tolerating the intervention and then topping up the lycacane accordingly."
  • "Dentist Sammy was really thorough at getting rid of the infection and then fitting the crown."
  • "Received fantastic dental treatment here and Khalida was very patient with me."
  • "I was lucky to be treated by Panos who was extremely professional and knowledgeable."

Cons:

  • "I always felt the dentist I was seeing was misinforming me at every turn."
  • "Every time I went to them I'd feel like a child being told off because I needed a filling or tooth cleaning."
  • "But the dentist association is not fully aware of cross contamination. Going in and out of the room using the same gloves door handle."
  • "Worst dentist I’ve ever been, very rude !!"
  • "Used to be a good dentist, however, now rude receptionist, poor dentistry and bad customer service. Avoid."
  • "Terrible dentist that has no care for patients."
  • "Whilst initial two years of dental care seemed good, I endured a disastrous veneer replacement process last year for both front teeth."

Customer Service and Reception

Pros:

  • "The centre is clean and everyone is polite and on time!"
  • "Friendly, professional and the customer service for appointments is excellent."
  • "The reception staff are always friendly & helpful too."
  • "The current reception staff are a vast improvement on some of their predecessors in terms of both attitude and efficiency."
  • "It is great to be treated as a responsible adult and to feel that their interest is to get the best outcome for you every time."
  • "The reception staff are always friendly and helpful and go above and beyond to help, especially when you suddenly find that you're in need of an emergency appointment."
  • "The reception greeting is excellent and their service is very friendly and efficient."

Cons:

  • "Don’t even bother going there, waste of money and time!"
  • "So shocked, I called to register my children under the NHS and myself private and the receptionist a man called Vicky hung the phone up when I mentioned NHS."
  • "Booked the appointment for Friday 4pm. Got no confirmation email or sms. Arrived on Friday 4pm, was told the appointment was at 12 pm, & that I had missed it."
  • "I called 4 times today from 09.00 - 11.00 got a message saying the person you are calling cannot take your call as I was then on my way to work driving I couldn't request a call back as was unable to use my phone so I called once at work and left a message saying I had pain and been there many years ago and would like to book left my number as of 9pm tonight there is no response."
  • "The receptionist did not listen to me nor advised me of the fees for this before I attended and I ended up paying a bill of £95 plus x-rays of £25."
  • "Very disappointed as had good experiences with this dentist previously. Called up today to book an appointment and was told as I hadn't attended regularly enough within the last 2 years I was no longer allowed to be an NHS patient and would have to be private."
  • "Still following up on getting it refunded. Looking at the reviews, was really looking forward to the dental services, but unfortunately the administration seems unprofessional & borderline unscrupulous."

Accessibility and Convenience

Pros:

  • "An additional bonus is that they're open on Saturdays and Sundays too which fits around busy lifestyles."
  • "Overall the fact that this practice provides access to a dentist at weekends and during holiday periods is invaluable."
  • "Stunning beyond belief. Offers a real 7 day service. Long time client have never looked back!"

Cons:

  • "It took 19 days for a referral letter to be sent to an Endodontist which is shocking when one is paying private fees."
  • "I showed up next week, very dissatisfied that the x-ray is not included in the new patient's pack."
  • "My examination was very quick, the dentist said that I will need an x-ray but the machine was broken - so I need to come back next week."
  • "The website advertises a £35 for a new patient consultation! I never asked to see an Implantologist."
