Report
My two children go to this dentist, who are eight and five and the staff are just awful! Very unhelpful and the staff on reception,an older lady was very rude with us and they just do not make you feel at ease at all,its very stressful bringing kids to the dentist and even the dentist themselves just do nothing to put the kids at ease at all naturally they are scared and unsure! I just think its awful to treat people that way they just dont seem to know how to care for children! My friend has two children that go there too and she says the same thing and ended up in tears last time she

Report
My 80 Yr old Mum was recommended to have an extensive array of treatments such as filling and crown replacements which obviously would cost a fortune. When questioned not particularly pleasant with her. Oddly found another dentist who verified that no treatment required. Expensive PRIVATE practice, all about the money!!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Michael King for giving me excellent emergency advice last week over the telephone. He reassured me given the limited options available due to the Covid 19 pandemic. I have now had my tooth taken out at the hospital and am pain free. Thank you again'
