- Miss George and her staff were extremely friendly and professional. Top notch on all fronts.
- I had my screws and plate removed by Miss George, she was amazing, calm and reassuring.
- Highly competent and conscientious with lovely bedside manner. Couldn’t have asked for better service.
- Miss George and her team were the best I could have hoped for. I had minor mouth surgery and they took care of me quickly, her secretary scheduled everything to suit everyone. I had a precheck, the procedure at London Bridge Hospital with a one night stay, and a great follow up. They took extreme care before, during and after, and even living abroad I felt at home. It is a true pleasure to have people like her in this world. I fully recommend her.

- 2nd time I have seen Catherine and both times she has solved my problem that others had failed to, I highly recommend, easy to talk to with clear communication on options and our plan Thank you so much
- I recently had all four of my wisdom teeth removed and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dr. Katherine George made the whole process feel calm and reassuring — she was incredibly friendly, informative, and professional throughout. The hospital itself was very clean, and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference. You could really tell that patient safety and comfort were a top priority. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for treatment with peace of mind.
- I had my wisdom teeth removed and everything went smoothly. Miss George was professional, answered all my questions clearly, and recommended the best approach for my complex case. The surgery was quick and efficient, and my recovery was fast with no complications. I was quite anxious beforehand, but the whole experience was reassuring. I’m very happy with the care I received.
- It was a pleasure to meet Katherine. She was very thorough and professional. Every step of my treatment was thoughtfully explained and executed with a knowledgeable skill and care that left me on no doubt that I was in a very safe pair of hands. Thank you!
