Fantastic experience: Seen in good time, pleasant staff and all booked up for the next appointment.
Fantastic experience: I love my new dentist!! Very approachable and you could have a laugh and joke. Did have an extraction last week. Not healing well but went back for TLC very supportive. So pleased to be a patient at Staffa Lodge
Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful and professional receptionists. Expert dentist and very caring dental nurse. Thank you
Negative experience: I have been an NHS patient at Staffa Lodge for the past ten years. During that time I have had one filling. I have always kept my appointments, with annual check ups and hygienist appoitments ....the last ones in March 2025. I have recently moved house and have had a assessment at my new dentist. I have needed FIVE fillings...all verified on xray and I need two immediate hygienist appointments. I have also been given a prescription for high strength flouride toothpaste. I am so disappointed with Staffa Lodge as I had always felt that I was getting a good service. Are NHS patients getting a 2nd class service?
Fantastic experience: The young lady I saw for my check up and subsequent filling was friendly, professional, and had a very good customer facing manner.Overall the experience from booking in to leaving was 1st class. Thank you.
Positive experience: I arrived a little before my appointment but was 30mins late in being called in. I would have appreciated notice that my dentist was running late.
Fantastic experience: Emergency appointment arranged at less than 24hrs noticeand on time. Very efficient.
Fantastic experience: Excellent Service. Receptionist are the best. So helpful, friendly and make you smile every time xx
