I recently took my mum to her regular dentist, and I must say, I was genuinely impressed. The care and service were top-notch, and the advice provided was both insightful and beneficial. It's evident that they prioritise their patients' well-being, and I'm grateful for their dedication to their craft. Highly recommended!
I've used this Dental practice for 20 years plus and wouldn't go anywhere else. As a very nervous patient the lovely lady dentist has always been kind and understanding. I have had extensive work over the years both private and NHS and always receive first class treatment and service.
I've been going to this dentist for the past 20 years, from the age of 6. Dental care was free up until the age of 18 I believe. They have posters up and signs saying they are an NHS dentist. So I thought I was paying the NHS band prices. No, they have been secretly charging me private charge. Not once did they inform me that I was being treated as a private patient and that I was paying the private cost. I am not someone who can afford private dental care. Nor have any of the other people I've spoken to who have also been conned into paying private dental care. They trick you into signing a sheet of paper that agrees paying private, and when I say trick - they will talk to you when they give you the form to sign. They even have the cheek to add on further treatment onto the bill before you've even received the treatment. They do not explain to you what you are signing. All they do is ask you if you're paying when you enter the dentist, of course anyone working and not on benefits will answer yes.
Inside the clinic they have posters/NHS signs as if to imply they accept adult NHS patients. When we challenged them on this they informed us that they only accept NHS patients who are on benefits. They decided to explain that AFTER we have been forced to pay an extortionate price for an appointment.
What makes it worse is, they don't even ask you when they add on extras - such as xrays. They will take multiple x-rays, cleaning without asking for your permission or informing you of additional costs they are adding to your final bill. They will literally rush around to do as much as they can in a 10 minute slot to squeeze out as much of your money as possible.
Avoid this place at all costs and spread this word. Even if you are free on the NHS, they do not deserve any customers with their deception. When asked why no one informs you that you have been moved onto the private treatment following free treatment up until the age of 18, the receptionist shifted the blame onto the previous receptionist who worked there. How about the people who run the place? Should they not accept responsibility? We called them to try to resolve it before taking further action and they had nothing to say for themselves let alone offer any kind of refund.
I am only writing this review so others do not blindly fall into this trap.
Update: To Shahan Ahmed - Excuse me, who are you? And where did you get the information that I was seen by a female dentist. Stay in your damn lane. Your review is clearly an attempt at saving face.
I have many locals dentist around me but I come here which is atleast half hour with transport and it is worth it! Been going there since last 6 years and Doctor ATTAR is the best and the most professional doctor ever experienced. He has always done an amazing job and goes above and beyond to make sure his patients are getting the best. So many time I have gone in with toothpain and that pain is horrible out of this world but he always manages to sort it out and give extra. Thank you doctor for an amazing service as always.
I have been going to this dentist for 15 years or so. I have always been petrified of dentists but the lady dentist made me very relaxed, talked me through my fears and moreover, didn’t hurt me at all. This is why I’ve always gone back to this dentist. My kids too went there. I have a disabled son and the dentist referred him very quickly to the hospital dentist as she didn’t feel she could treat him further. She was extremely kind and careful with my son. I wouldn’t change her for the world.
While I was not working, I never had to pay but now I am back to work, I have to pay some charges. Because I am part-time therefore lower income, I have an exemption certificate for most treatments but what people need to understand is that even with exemption, not all treatments are covered by the exemption and not all treatments are covered by NHS.
I have always been told in advance if and what I should pay for or if my treatment was free.
I always recommend this dentist because personally, I have always had good treatment, good service and I have always been treated well.
I got my teeth cleaned about 2 years ago (for the first time in my life) and I was very happy with the service I received. My teeth were significantly whiter which was great, but more importantly the care of the dental surgeon and his assistant was what I really appreciated.
The total was about £67 pounds at the time, and I think it was very worth it. Very excited to visit again.
This is post in response to Ayesha khatun, I can’t believe someone would write such a review about the female dentist , I have been visiting that dentist since I was a child and have never had any complaints. I have always received really good service from there and never had any problems. She always ensures I am fully aware of my treatment and the process and ensures I comfortable during the treatment. I think sometimes people forget how hard this job is and the amount of training and effort that goes in to actually achieve that position. Is is a serious job because any mishap could cause severe damage.
I had to have my teeth cleaned before teeth whitening procedure. On a very short notice my trustworthy dentist was/is very busy so I had to go with another option so I booked an appointment with this dentist. I was told the cleaning procedure is going to take 20 - 25 min which is just about right for a thorough sweep. I was 15 min earlier and after a minute of waiting I was friendly greated by a female hygienist/dentist? and a dental nurse. Put myself in chair and hygienist told me she is going to do the check up for £17.50 and cleaning for £33.00. I refused the check up as my teeth are regularly monitored by my honest dentist. This must have sparked some kind of discomfort because the procedure was feeling like she's taking part in 100m dental cleaning sprint competition and patients comfort was not on the top of the agenda. Discomfort and pain I can put up with. The trouble is it took only 8m 30 sec at accomplish the task. After she finished I was given a mirror to see the results. I remarked if she could do a little bit better in one specific tooth. She focused on it and after 45 sec there was a visible difference therefore the job was not finished. I made a comment that she was suppose to spend a bit longer on the task and the replay was it is very powerful tool and the job is done. Well I disagree and this is why I write this review. While my usual hygienist is focused on doing good job, here it is more likely they are focused on making good money.
