I believe Dr Jeremy is the most thorough and well-educated dentist I have been to in my life. I always walk out with a good smile and more information. Highly recommended.”

“Going to a dentist isn’t always a good feeling, but my son and I walked out feeling good! We have chosen you for a family dentist as your staff are amazing and Jeremy is a great dentist which made you feel relaxed and at ease knowing he is looking after you. My son first thought dentist was scary but after seeing Jeremy he looked forward to going back for his next appointment and is brushing his teeth morning and night without me nagging him too! Big thank you!”

“For me, visits to the dentist are my worse fear, phobia in fact. I can do anything else medical but the dentist is an irrational fear that is very deep seated.
But I have found on both my visits that my particular problem was addressed with empathy and every effort to comfort me was made.
I like to know that I have medication that will help me in the lead up to the consultation, which is often a very difficult time for me.
I was actually given a red rose today and was very touched by this kind gesture. I know that if ever I am able to overcome my phobia it will be through this practice. Thank you so much.”

“No over-servicing here! The integrity of the practice was demonstrated by the dentist’s insistance that my tooth care was sufficiently good to warrant a visit in twelve months instead of six. The discount for rapid payment of the fee was also welcome.”

“Competent, courteous, very professional. There seems to me to be a policy of getting the best out of what you have to work with at the best outcome for the patient on a cost and practical benefit result, rather than the all too common ‘make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear’ at greatest cost to patient and who cares if it works well for them or not.

Thank you all.
