Report
Have always been scared of going to the dentist (a legacy of the 80s, when not everyone had the most enlightened approach to dentistry from what I remember) but this practice has changed that. These are very understanding people who work with you, keep things relaxed and let you know exactly what's going on and why to help you become more involved and less 'done to'. It doesn't freak me out at all any more. Thanks

Great practitioners, nurses and environment Only spoilt by the staff on the front desk. You all have a valid job, but if yours is client interface you need be a little kinder, and try not to argue with your clients who after all are paying your wages. I appreciate poor customer services part of life in the UK but good client care goes a long way and one (or two) bad apples can sour the pie
