Hugo was caring when I had my awful infection last October and was very helpful with the subsequent referral to have the tooth out under sedation. This morning, he and his dental nurse have happily accommodated my request to help mitigate against Covid airborne transmission during my appointment and I sincerely appreciate it. I feel very lucky to have a dentist, especially an NHS one, who genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients.

I have always found Dr Hugo a brilliant dentist and have always been pleased with my treatment here. The lady on reception is courteous and helpful and the nurse is also very competent – a fantastic team we are lucky to have them.

I would like to thank you all for the excellent treatment I received from you for a complex dental problem. I needed to be able to be confident about my appearance for an occasion I was attending last Wednesday evening. I had a wonderful time and thank you all very much, especially Alex and subsequently Hugo who took over from him getting me a convincing denture made in time for me to be wearing it with confidence.

These dentists are jewels. Mine is kind, gentle in manner and considerately careful, explains everything, and I have never experienced pain whilst having treatment – despite having fairly dreadful teeth. My neighbour was terrified of going to the dentist until she went to this practice. We are very fortunate to have them.

The best service I have ever had. I lost a filling during breakfast, phoned the surgery and was in the chair and the filling replaced by 10.00 that morning and as I had had a crown done a few weeks earlier it came under the same treatment plan and there was no charge. I know I possibly filled a cancellation but nevertheless I was very pleased
