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

Absolutely shocking service a late cancellation of my appointment because I was in surgery!, and now refuse to see me.... Not going to last if that's how you treat patients. The receptionist also has a poor telephone and customer skills. Don't bother going here and paying for rubbish service rang and booked in the same day with another dentist and straight away the receptionist wslas 100x better
