Fantastic service. I havent booked in yet but receptionist was very kind and offered me an appointment the same day as I was in a lot of pain. Will definitely be booking in soon as my previous dentist couldnt offer me an appointment for weeks despite the pain!

I visited HDS this morning for an emergency appointment, I was warmly welcomed and swiftly taken upstairs to be treated by Dr Carita and Lois. They were so lovely and made me feel very relaxed throughout. Thank you!

I have been using Hockley Dental Surgery for regular hygienist visits and routine check ups since the early 1990's. I really can not fault them. All the staff are excellent and professional and I would definitely recommend this practise.
