I've been attending this dental practice since I started working next at the district general hospital as it was convenient. However, while convenience played an important initial role in choosing this dental practice, it has given me a fantastic professional service over many years.
I started off with Dr Hayes who has moved on to pastures new and over the last few years, my teeth have been in the very capable hands of Dr Stanley Fernandes. I've not encountered any major problems and the one big bit of work - root filling and crown onto one of my pre-molars was carried out painlessly and the porcelain crown is still doing its job well.
They do most of the work on the NHS but charge more for some procedures such as crowns in order to keep costs down for children and less able patients. They only ask that you attend for 6 monthly check ups, which is fair enough.
The practice has changed hands recently with the retirement of the Harkins. However, the surgery has moved on since their retirement and I was mightily impressed by their recent refurbishment when I attended for my 6 monthly check up today. read more
