A warm welcoming reception team
The reception team were welcoming me when I arrived. They offered the same service to everyone arriving while I was waiting. The waiting room had sufficient seating for everyone waiting.
This continued when I was called in by the dental nurse. My dentist, Arya, met me with a smile. We had a short chat, which put me at ease before the examination commenced. My dentist explain what she was doing and asked for my opinion. All in all a very positive experience.

Friendly and efficient
I've always been terrified of going to the dentist but was immediately put at ease as I entered reception. The receptionist was friendly and spoke very clearly. It's very rare these days for an appointment to happen on time but it was bang on time here. The two ladies who carried out my assessment were very kind and immediately spotted that I was very nervous and did their best to put me at ease.
