Everyone I dealt with today was so friendly and professional. Vinusha, my dentist, has a lovely manner and made me feel comfortable. I have been with this practice for years; it is a five-star dental practice!

I saw Dr Foliades for my 6 monthly checkup. The service (appointment booking and treatment) was efficient, as always - and they still treat NHS patients. I would have no hesitation in recommending this practice to others.

Absolutely the best dentist I’ve been to! Staff on reception are very polite and always helpful. You don’t have to wait long to get an appointment! The dentists are very caring and do a great job 👏

I would like to say that when I heard my regular dentist was leaving the practice back in January of this year I was quite concerned but having seen Amrit Kasbia on 2 occasions now, my fears have totally been put to bed. I would in fact go as far to say he is even better than my previous dentist. I would highly recommend him.

Kirsty Smith

Just had my first ever experience of this dentist and sedation clinic! I can say I was absolutely amazed. I was very anxious to attend due to a previous dentist causing me a lot of pain and leaving my roots behind which caused numerous infections. But all the staff were lovely and understanding that I was anxious. Procedure was done quickly and efficiently. I will definitely recommend this clinic to anyone! Absolutely amazing. Thank you for making my appointment stress free for me!

I first went here for an emergency last year and as a very nervous patient, I saw a lovely dentist who put me at ease. I've recently been able to join the dentist now and saw the same dentist, which put me at ease straight away.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The environment was warm and inviting, and the staff was knowledgeable. I appreciate the personalized care I received during my visits.

Having been a patient for a decade+ it's refreshing to know that when I had a problem it was addressed by the hospitable general manager himself (Mr. S Morgan) and a follow up was conducted during my next visit. This was a kind gesture. The receptionists are friendly and welcoming. Dr Ganesalingam is a respectful dentist who answers questions thoroughly and gives compassionate advice 🌟

I took my 6 year old for a routine check up. The dentist was nice and friendly and made my daughter feel at ease. The dental nurse was friendly and accommodating, even when finding stickers that she liked.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience! Dentist Sara was truly exceptional! From the moment I sat in the chair, she was kind, understanding, and incredibly cordial with every action she took. She explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. Her professionalism and gentle manner made a big difference. While it was a bit on the costly side, the quality of service made it well worth it.
