Appointments difficult to get - helpful staff
Appointments can be difficult to get outside of personal working hours, but the service is more than sufficient and very helpful staff. Have not needed dental appointments for actual treatment – only routine check-ups. Appointments are recommended for every 9 months and are normally available for a good few months in advance, though it can be difficult to find a time where you don’t have to take time off work for the appointment. The receptionists are generally friendly and call to remind patients about their appointments beforehand, which is very helpful for some people. The dentist also has a personal relationship with her patients, making us feel much more comfortable. I can trust my dentist completely and feel I am listened to and advised accordingly if I have any concerns. I do not have any problems with my dental experience and think the price is fair for what I am offered. The NHS is a fantastic service for the most part and it is hugely appreciated. It is a great asset and pride for this Country, and whilst there are relevant issues in many trusts and organisations, the values of the NHS should not be compromised.
