Visits to the Dentist used to, without fail, fill me with dread…read more That dread stopped when I became a patient under Stephen Pownall at Porchester Dental Practice. I am not one for writing reviews but I went online to look up the telephone number on Sunday night in preparation to call on Monday morning due to a wisdom tooth issue. I was due for a checkup next week but they managed to get me in for Tuesday 27th October. Stephen's advice was, as ever, professional and although the pain had subsided (probably due to the 8 paracetamol in 24 hours I had taken) he put forward his case for removing it. If only all medical practitioners were like this! Nervously, I agreed to have it extracted there and then. Like most I would say, there is always that little nagging doubt, but after being called back in following the anaesthetic, I sat down in the chair and it was out within a matter of 20 seconds. Incredibly efficient with zero pain, zero fuss and the utmost professionalism as always. Thank you Stephen! I value your service and professionalism to be in the highest order. Many, many thanks.

I am currently an NHS patient at this practice and have been for as long as I can remember. Which…read moremay not be so easy to achieve nowadays, from what I hear in the news it seems that being able to get a NHS dentist now is pretty much impossible. But that is to do with capacity and supply and demand and not particularly a fault of the practice themselves. So the practice apart from the above is spot on from what I have seen. My particular dentist has been there all the while I have been and is always polite, friendly and has a great smile - well you would expect that from a dentist I guess. Reminders are issued in a timely manner and dealing with payments etc is always no hassle. Good dentists which should hopefully give you less to worry about when you have to face the dreaded drill.

Terrible service from all inside this post office. It was once run by an old couple, now it is run…read moreby an asian couple. The workers will toss documents back at you under the counter, not hand them back, you have to catch them quick or they end up on the floor. Lots of times I have been stood in the queue and old people are telling me to go to one of the worker's window, as they don't like him. They would rather stand in the queue than be served by him. Very unfriendly service. Avoid this place.

This is a very busy post office near to Arnold Town centre. It is often very busy and has a twisty…read morequeue type system which seems to take forever to get to the start. They offer a good range of services including exchange currency , passport checking , driving licence checking , car tax, the usual post office services such as paypoint are also available. They have a range of cards and stationary which are available to peruse whilst you are in the queue. The far side of the shop is dedicated to more stationary such as enverlopes, wrapping paper and the such. One downfall is how busy this post office gets and that the stationary area has no separate till. So its easier not to get your things from there as you tend to have to queue again.
