Julian Atkinson has been my dentist for over 25 years on and off now. I saw him as an NHS patient until my 18th birthday when I found I couldn't afford his services any longer.
I've since had a few dentists but in June 2009 with a new dental insurance plan returned to Julian.
His surgery is really rather inconvenient to get to if you don't live in the moorlands. It takes me about 40 minutes to get here from either Stafford where I work, or Newcastle where I live.
His prices are undoubtedly high for dentistry but he is thorough in his work, I've never had a problem and I'm sure I've never paid for unecessary work.
In fact Julian is BBC Radio Stokes on air dentist, so that should be an indicator of how good he is with all his patients. read more
