- Had a tooth extraction, dentist and dental nurses were lovely i felt very at easy. Reception staff lovely. Was a lovely dental clinic.
- I have had several medical procedures in recent years; this was the smoothest & most comprehensively explained. In addition, the manner in which the surgical team made me feel at ease was most appreciated. Thank you.
- Brilliant Parkash was so reassuring and talked me through every step so calmly as far as dental procedures go I felt comfortable and in safe hands and fully recommend
- I had to have a back tooth removed yesterday. I was very anxious and nervous. Mr Ramchandani could not have been more calming caring. He explained everything he was doing. What a lovely man. His assistant that morning was also caring and the lovely receptionist who looked after me when I was really nervous
- Thank you, excellent treatment today and very clear explanation of the procedure.
- I was so nervous going in to today’s treatment and Mr Parkash was absolutely amazing. He was kind, listened to my concerns, mitigated them, reassured me and got the extractions done very quickly. Prior to seeing him I’d had two quite severe reactions from anaesthetic and I had nothing with him. I would recommend him to anyone who would listen to me. I’m super grateful to have been lucky enough to get a cancellation on his list. He is so kind, gentle, patient and thorough. Thank you
- Really friendly staff, made me feel comfortable and supported
