It even opened a walk-in-centre so you could visit here instead of A&E pending the seriousness of the situation. So while this is not my doctors, it is my partners and my daughters. You never seem to be able to ring up and get an appointment that day (even if you ring first thing in the morning). I won't name the doctor but we have felt at times that the doctor just wants you in and out and fobs you off with "its viral". The walk-in-centre is pot luck if its busy or not (i'm guessing like most walk-in-centres) but we have had nightmare times were we have had to wait over 3 hours to be seen and then the on duty nurse or doctor has missed stuff like ear infections and such. Then they closed down the walk-in-centre after about 10 months and had it open 8am-8pm and you had to then go to a "Go-to-Doc" (situated in the same building) were you had to ring up and make an appointment if it was out of hours and go through a telephone grilling just to see if it was worth you bringing yourself in. The Car Park is free to users of the centre but always seems to break down thus giving the shoppers of oldham free parking. A plus is that this is Oldham so there is security in the building so that does make you feel kinda safe.

I never used to mind going to the dentists, in fact I was such a good kid (in terms of brushing my…read moreteeth) that I never actually had any fillings until about 7 years ago! Unfortunately after spending 12 months living in India and South East Asia (and drinking a fair amount of sweetened masala chai each day) I came back to find out I needed 5 fillings - ouch! So it's with this in mind that every trip to the dentists is now a case of "God I hope this is just a quick in and out affair" and luckily it has been since the initial painful seatings! Manchester Dental Practice is situated just above the Ruby Lounge on the high street and the staff are always pretty friendly, the dentists and assistants are always pretty young guys and up for a chat/laugh. I've never has any problems with bookings here and you can change an appointment with 48 hours notice without being charged. They also have a hygienist that you can see at the same time as check ups if you book in advance!

Despite being someone who has never found visits to the dentist scary or unpleasant, I somehow…read moreended up going three years without seeing one. Oops. Manchester Dental Practice is near my office and seemed to have the least arduous booking process of the city centre dentists - I turned up, filled in a form, paid a £10 deposit and was offered a pretty convenient appointment. My dentist was friendly and professional, as was his assistant. His advice on maintaining dental health was realistic and achievable, ie. you don't need to quit sugar just reduce how regularly you have sugary foods and drinks; try to floss 3x a week if you can't do it every day. He also didn't try to talk to me while I couldn't speak, which my old dentist always did, so annoying! Reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. Overall it was about as good a trip to the dentist as you could hope for!

There were never any of the issues that we had with other dentists and luckily my teeth were in good shape so my check ups came and went without any problems. Now, I appear to need my first ever filling and I'm going to choose these guys to treat me over dentists that I've seen more recently, if I can wrangle it since I don't live round here anymore. They're that good. Brian Rosenberg always makes the effort to get to know people and I am sure the other dentists here do the same.

Although it is a private dentist i never feel like they are trying to carry out unnecssary work and they will only do what is required. They help me make the most of my dental allowance from my insurance policy and send you both e-mail and text reminders which is great as i often book appoinments at 6 month intervals. Imram my dentist and Rachel the hygienist are lovely and i trust them both implicitly to take care of my teeth nd kerp everything on tip top condition. If you are needing a dentist in th city centre i recommend this one. They can offer pay monthly schmes and often do seasonal tooth care packages.

I was in incredible pain, and was dubious that id be able to find a dentist that would accept me - i thought id have to wait until i was home and then make an appointment there. As i say, they were able to see me at short notice and i found the dental practice to be quite a relaxing place and the dentist that i saw put me at my ease. After about 40 minutes of dental work my condition was stabilised and i was out of pain and able to continue my trip. I felt the dental charges were quite high, but i couldnt fault there service in any way and if i lived closeby i would probably use them again.
