I would like to thank DR. K. McKeever and her staff at the Hadrian Park practice, I do not like going to the dentist but they went out of their way to put me at ease and reassure me. I cannot relate how appreciative I am for their care and kindness, now the dentist holds no fear. Outstanding thank you

Just been up to this Dentist who I have been with for years have ongoing treatment atm Richard Mason who is fantastic by the way was not in as on holiday but he referred me to the dental hospital for a tooth out and my appointment for that is Tuesday so I have an infection in it so went to see if I could get some antibiotics and they tried to charge me 22.60 for a dentist to look in my mouth for 30 seconds and write a prescription.
Absolutely disgusting and who ever the receptionist was who wouldn't back down the manager I think needs to adjust her attitude as we are the ones paying her wages. I will not ever go back there which is a shame as Richard is fantastic and knows my history but I would rather suffer with the pain than pay 30quid including prescription for 30 seconds total RIP off. Absolute disgrace.
