Francis E.

My experience at this dental surgery was amazing, excellent and fantastic! My appointment was with Kiana Moazzen. This dentist was simply amazing as I was very satisfied with my treatment. Very patient, professional and friendly. Thank you so much! The receptionists also were very caring, kind and understanding.

MH
Michelle Heal

Always helpful and staff have a way at making me feel relaxed which is tough considering I do have a fear of the dentist. I come here over 20yrs ago as an emergency over Christmas and although it's out of my catchment area and I remained a patient which says alot about the surgery.

ZN
Zalia Nottage

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 👏

Janine

Had my first appointment here today and I was pleasantly surprised. My dentist was Vinusha, she didn't rush me out, she listened to my concerns and explained everything clearly. As an NHS patient this was really nice experience.

TL
Tracey Llewellyn

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.

YA
Yasmina AISSAOUI

I had a great experience at mawney road practice, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The doctor who extracted my son's tooth was very professional, gentle, and explained everything clearly — highly recommend!

KB
Kay Barratt

I had not been to a dentist for 15 years from fear brought on by previous experiences with Dentists. I came here and was treated by the most brilliant team — my fear has gone knowing they understood and were patient with me. I actually am looking forward to my next visit. Anyone who has a fear get in touch with this amazing team.

Diane

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!

LS
Lidia Stefania

Myself and my child have been registered with Essex Family Dental Gale Street for more than 4 years and everytime we visited, the staff is really well prepared and the services are really good. Dr Tjaart is an amazing doctor, and we are really happy with how he he treated us.

ED
Emily Davis

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.

KT
Karlene Thomas

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.

JS
Jennika Shah

Brought both children after school. Lovely clean practice. Very kind, professional and quick. My children were very good because the practice and staff were very inviting. Very good with children. Would highly recommend!
