"I have been with this practice for over 20 years through its iterations. Today, I managed to get a same-day appointment for a chipped tooth and couldn't be happier with the way it was handled. I trust Diego implicitly. He and his assistant were so accommodating and kind and did a first-class job. Thank you so much!"

"Great experience in general. Friendly receptionist, nice dentist and nurse. Explained everything clearly and teeth cleaning carried out without any pain. I can be quite anxious when visiting the dentist, because of bad experiences growing up. I was very happy with this experience. Back for another check up in 9 months. Thank you ☺️"

"A very nice welcome. The receptionist and dentist were very polite, professional and understanding. The dentist was very thorough with my examination and very kind knowing I'm scared of the dentist."

"I’ve been with this practice since a child and it has always been good, however the last time I visited I’ve never been so disappointed in the way I was treated. Firstly, they overcharged me, (I had to pay again for treatment which I had paid for previously). They said that this was because I had left my last appointment without making a new appointment, which is true, but only because all of the staff (apart from the dentist) had by then gone as it was an early evening appointment. I explained that I had tried calling the practice multiple times and leaving answering machine messages to make the appointment, but there was never a response. Also, my family tried to make an appointment in person, but got turned away saying that appointments could only be arranged on the phone only, which was still working to covid guidelines quite late on, therefore only patients would be allowed into the practice. I persevered with phoning and eventually was able to speak to the receptionist to book an appointment but she would have it no other way than that I would have to repay. After having a little bit of a debate over the price, I decided to just pay so I can just get the treatment out the way. The only alternative offered by her was that I wouldn’t get another appointment for a few months and I would have to put in a complaint. The dentist seemed to be ok, unlike the rude receptionists. However, the tooth that they worked on has caused me pain since visiting and yesterday a large amount of my tooth broke off. I would stay clear of this place, Things have changed there a lot and I am thankful for my new dentist."
