Fantastic dentist
Fantastic dentist
I was supposed to see the hygienist and dentist
A very last minute text ( not a call) advised me that the hygienist is unavailable.
A call would have been better as I was already on route !

We appreciate your feedback. We regret learning about the last-minute text regarding the hygienist and the inconvenience it caused while you were en route. We'll review our communication methods.

It takes a while to find out my account number then you have to put bank details in after treatment details. Only to be told my husbands claim was 0 and mine £2 as we were about of budget, why cannot we be told before we start the process. Surely a drop down of what is left for the claim would be useful before the bank details and treatment receipt is uploaded

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry the claim process was frustrating. We acknowledge it's not ideal to learn about claim amounts so late in the process. Thank you for your time.
It's fine
It's fine. I would score higher if I didn't get sent an email or SMS asking for a review every time I pick my nose
