  • "However, in the past 18mths standards have slipped, especially for NHS patients when certain dentists became private."
  • "It is OK. My dentist is really good. The only criticism for the practice is that they give you an appointment time of 9am, you arrive there a bit early to see the dentist on time but they open the door and let people (long queue!) in at 9am."
  • "I didn't want to leave a star but it wouldn't allow zero. My young daughter has been waiting months for a filling only to be phoned at the last minute to be told it was cancelled."

  • "i have 2 broken crowns and was told it would be September at least until i can get treatment."
