I visited the practice for the first time this morning, having not visited a dentist for around 5 years previously due to anxiety. All the staff were very friendly and everyone went above and beyond in order to make me feel at ease. My dentist Nina was polite and professional and talked me through every step of the appointment which really helped with my anxiety. Overall it was a great experience and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend the practice. I'm now considering swapping the rest of the family to this dentist as the difference in care between Hallows and our original dentist was so substantial

Me and my son have been a patient of James for over 10 years and I could not recommend a better dentist. He and everyone at Hallows make you feel so welcome and at ease. The practice is just delightful with a light waiting area, refreshments on offer and a lovely book corner for the childern. Over the years James has amazed me by how understanding he is towards my son (SEN needs), I genuinely could not speak higher of James and Kay. If your looking for a new dentist you should 100% be looking to get on their list.
