Stricklands Dental Fitness Centre: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Good appointment with the hygienist. Everyone is very polite and helpful. Good advice given without being too preachy. Would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Helpful reception staff at this practice, good dental hygiene care and thorough and professional care from my dentist. He tries to save teeth wherever he can and does not rush to extractions.
Fantastic experience: Always lovely to see Nikki my hygienist and Dr Allen my brilliant dentist. He’s a magician!
Thanks for your wonderful review Mrs Arundel. Simon says "The magic comes when trust is achieved from a previously nervous patient!"
Fantastic experience: My dental treatment with Katherine Daley was first class. Professional, very competent and reassuring with a great sense of humour. I could not recommend her and the practice too highly.
Fantastic experience: Always brilliant, excellent treatment, with friendly staff from start to finish.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and caring as I have come to expect. I was given an appointment at short notice to treat a broken tooth. It was quickly resolved, sensitivity much reduced and good advice given for necessary future treatment. Thank you to Geoff and his assistant.
Fantastic experience: Good service as ever. Friendly, expert, and costs are itemised in advance - no unpleasant surprises. The new hygienist facilities are excellent.
Fantastic experience: Visiting the Dentist is not supposed to be this much fun! I love the Hygienist Naomi and Dentist Simon Allen, honestly you could not be in better hands!
Fantastic experience: Have been a patient at Stricklands for over a decade. The service is always top notch,the technical knowhow cutting edge.Our family dentist Simon Allen and hygienist Nikki are brilliant! That review is over a decade old..still having the same experience, a Dentist one can trust for honest ,excellent, professional care is something to value! The above may be a decade old but my most current 2025 exam was every bit as efficient, reassuring, informative and professional as ever!
Thank you Anne! Always a pleasure to see you.
Fantastic experience: I felt compelled to share my experience at Stricklands today, as it stirred up a lot of emotions for me. As someone who struggles with anxiety, my visit was particularly challenging after my dog accidentally caused me to lose my front teeth while I had a whistle in my mouth. I began a lengthy treatment plan with Darren Jones and his dedicated team, and I can’t express how grateful I am for their exceptional care. Darren’s approach was not only professional but also incredibly compassionate; he took the time to explain each step of the process and allowed me to take breaks whenever I needed to compose myself. The advanced equipment they used was impressive and made the experience much more comfortable, eliminating the need for messy impressions. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone at Stricklands, from the hygienists to the reception staff, with a special shoutout to Darren and his team. Your support has meant the world to me. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Apart from the excellence of the professional medical staff, I find that the administration staff at Stricklands are always very helpful. As I am unfortunately registered disabled I very much appreciate having the “disabled marker” left out for me to use when I arrive.
Fantastic experience: Naomi is a credit to the practise always honest and open with any treatment or suggestions and a pleasure to see on a regular basis.
Fantastic experience: Just signed up as a new patient. Very impressed with the customer service levels and quality of advice and information provided before and during my first consultation.
Fantastic experience: Great service, really helpful and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Stricklands is very friendly and professional. Only had good service there and they don’t try to do any unnecessary upselling, just practical advice. Recommend
Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Stricklands since 2016 and have always been looked after by Dr Darren Jones. Over the years I’ve had implants, crowns and fillings, and I’ve always been impressed with the standard of care. Darren is calm, professional and clearly knows his stuff. The practice itself is modern and well-equipped, with in-house CT scanners and imaging tech that make things easier. The reception team are great too – always friendly and efficient, which makes a real difference. All in all, I’ve had a consistently good experience here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Staff very pleasant. Still do not like the electronic cleaning process.
Fantastic experience: Being a very nervous patient of anything to do with dental work, I was as usual greeted at reception with a good morning and a smile which always helps. The Treatment is always first class and carried with care. I cannot praise my dentist Sam and my hygienist Nikki highly enough.
Thanks for your review Mr Hall. So pleased to have helped!
Fantastic experience: So friendly and caring; treatment carefully explained and carried out. Expertise second to none. I highly recommend Stricklands Dental Fitness Centre.
Fantastic experience: Dr Colin Frazer has been my dentist for about 15 years; Colin's "chair side manner " in reassuring his patients is impeccable. Work carried out by Colin & his associates is always there for keeps ! Reception staff are most welcoming & efficient. Thank you all !
Fantastic experience: A five-star rating for a five-star dental practice. Saw Dr Sam Ellis who literally transformed my front bottom teeth (they look fabulous now)! She is efficient, kind, very gentle and a real professional. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I think I've used Stricklands for over 20 years as I always receive a great service. I'm not changing any time soon.
Fantastic experience: The whole team at Stricklands are wonderful; they always make my children and me feel at ease.
Fantastic experience: very efficient, accommodating , professional , good value for money.
Fantastic experience: I have complete confidence in the treatment prescribed and the nway it is carried out
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Stricklands for years and have always had a very good experience. The staff are all very friendly & very experienced & the recent refurbishments for the hygienists rooms are excellent.
Fantastic experience: Hygienist Nikki did a gentle but thorough job on my routine checkup.
Fantastic experience: From previous dental experiences I had become very nervous & in turn not kept up with regular checkup appointments. Naomi & Helen have completely restored my confidence, there expertise, cautiousness and level of genuine care is excellent, An absolute credit to Strickland Dental Fitness Thank you
Fantastic experience: Superior service with great people at a fair price. A top local business. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Courteous and efficient reception staff. On time and pleasant hygienist , and efficient dentistry. Altogether an agreeable experience.
Fantastic experience: Professional, friendly and welcoming. My first hygienist appointment and I was instantly put at ease by the smiling faces of hygienist Sophia & nurse Nina. Felt completely comfortable in their extremely capable hands and valuable advice. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great first visit. I was given as much time as I needed and put at ease with clear, expert advise.
Fantastic experience: Always superb service. Worth the drive to get to them.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I always have the very best of care each visit with our dentist at Stricklands
Fantastic experience: More than a dentist. They take care of you from the very start of your visit. Excellent staff who treat you as a person. Seen on time, excellent dental work. Can't fault them.
Thank you Mrs Childs, such lovely comments!
Fantastic experience: Whenever I leave Stricklands, I do so with a smile on my face. Thanks to them, the smile is straight, white and even. For years now they have kept me smiling, because they've done such a terrific job on my teeth. I'm hoping they'll take on the rest of my body next. Colin Dunne, Midhurst.
Thanks so much for your review Mr Dunne. We will get back to you regarding the "total body" care!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent care (again) from the dental hygienist, Alla Gayeva.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient at Stricklands for 20 years and have had consistently brilliant care. Warm and friendly team from the moment you step in the door… would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I returned to Stricklands after several years in the wilderness, to find they have become even better than before. Very happy with lovely smiling and gifted people throughout the practice. It’s been about 45 years since I first visited. So pleased to be back. Seriously high standard of treatment and lovely personnel. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Stricklands as usual!
Fantastic experience: We have been looked after for many more years than we care to recall, except to say that their "care" is detailed and expert. The advice is thorough, and the organisation works efficiently to ensure we are always in the right place at the right time.
Fantastic experience: Stricklands is the most professional dental practice I have ever attended. The levels of service and attention to detail are exceptional. I still use them even after I moved away from the area.
Negative experience: I used to be a patient at this practice, and actually would travel a long distance because a dentist I was recommended to had transferred here. Overall, the receptionist and admin side are incredibly helpful and professional, however, I found my dentist to be unreasonable at times in terms of patient care and charging.
Fantastic experience: Another set of full marks to Stricklands. Excellent appointment with Nikki who her usual efficient, thorough and friendly self. Left feeling reassured and confident. What more can one ask?!
Thank you. We are very pleased that you are satisfied with your care.
Positive experience: I was very surprised to receive a text informing me that I had 30 minutes to reply otherwise the appointment would be offered to another person. It was peremptory in both tone and content. At the time the text arrived I had a 1 hour appointment with my chiropodist, hence I missed the time slot but luckily was able to accept the next appointment offered. Very distracting if I had been, say, driving and missed a 30 minute slot - designed for AI not people was my conclusion. Treatment by Hygienist was exemplary.
Positive experience: Really delighted with the care and attention from my Dentist (Geoff Tait) and my Hygienist (Alla). I do find it difficult to speak to a receptionist though when I need to change appointments and often have to leave a message. Otherwise it would be 5 star.
Fantastic experience: Attended my hygienist appointment and greeted by friendly reception team. My appointment was on time and looked after very well as always. Not even the upheaval of building work within the building effected the top and professional handling of my appointment! Very happy with the service I received.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with all aspects of the dental practice. As always received excellent treatment from Dr Sam Ellis and Naomi Shuff.
Thank you so much for the feedback. We are happy to have helped.
Fantastic experience: The professionalism, care and sincere kindness of this team has been amazing, especially given my levels of anxiety following previous mouth trauma. Highly recommended and thank you!
Fantastic experience: I needed and emergency appointment, fitted me in, and cured 11/10 tooth pain.
Positive experience: I have to say that the hygiene sessions I have attended have not been what I expect. A lot of time is spent on measuring rather than cleaning therefore a full clean has not occured on the last two occasions.
Fantastic experience: Christina along side Stacey have done an Amazing job in handling my kids tooth extraction. Christina patiently approached my nervous child to get his consent and I didn't believe when he actually agreed to get the extraction done by himself. Christina's experience has really impressed me and I absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a way out for their child's dental problem. I really struggled with 4 dentists previously. But this was the end of my search in finding the perfect one. Thank you Christina and Stacey you have been Awesome!
Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment received from both dentist and hygienist. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I moved to Norwich at the start of the year but will continue attending Stricklands and in particular Simon Allen who in my option is the best dentist ever. Great practise great staff
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Stricklands by my dentist as my treatment was a bit more complicated. I had a consultation with Dr Maslinda Mohamad yesterday and we agreed on a course of treatment which is next week. I’m not a huge fan of going to the dentist after having had extensive head and neck cancer surgery. That being said Maslinda and her nurse really put me at ease and explained everything thoroughly. The service was fantastic from start to finish - from reception to the appointment. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Managed to see me within 24hrs of a call for an emergency. Super supportive and transparent about dental options. Good communications via email regarding appointments and future works.
Positive experience: I visited my usual dentist and have used the practice for nearly 40 years. This time i had terrible toothache and after two visits in the day i still have a tooth which hurts to the touch. Not a happy experience and will need to consider changing practice!
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to Stricklands. A previous dentist was unable to save my tooth & sugested removing it. Simon Allen (Stricklands) worked for nearly an hour, building up the broken tooth with filling. The tooth was broken away, right down to the gum in one area. The result was amazing, with very little pain. I cannot thank Mr. Allen enough his patients & professionalism. I was so impressed that I have now registerd as a new patient with Stricklands.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Time efficient plus speedy response to issues.I used to hate going to the dentists but it is now a pleasure. Darren is highly skilled and provides relaxation instead of panic with all issues. 5 star
Negative experience: I booked in to repair a cup on a tooth. Was given full check - not requested. Left after 25 minutes with repaired tooth but £250 poorer. More expensive per minute than my lawyer and doing work I didn’t request. Won’t be back.
Fantastic experience: A Referral to Stricklands was a beneficial event in my life as I have never looked back. I have total confidence in my dental surgeon , my Hygenist and my orthodontist. I am never anxious when attending an appointment - in my opinion this is greatest compliment of all and proof of the trust I place in Stricklands Dental Fitness Centre. Thank you everyone at Stricklands. I am receiving the best care and advice I could ever wish for.
It is indeed a great compliment, thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to review us.
Fantastic experience: Efficient and friendly. I felt i was in safe hands
Fantastic experience: You couldn't pay me to go anywhere else - as a nervous patient everything is explained and the recent filling I had was completely pain-free.
Thank you for your comments Mrs Potter. We are doing everything we can to make our practice safe for our patients and staff.
Fantastic experience: Dr Jones was very thorough and I felt confident in treatment as he explained everything so well. Lovely staff
Fantastic experience: Stricklands is a fantastic dental practice: Darren Jones has cared for mine and my children’s teeth for many years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: I used to be terrified of the dentist until I got referred to Strickland. The team are always so welcoming and have always made me feel at ease, I can’t thank them enough! I don’t even think about my appointments anymore and just turn up as I know I’m in good hands! Thank you Strickland’s!
Fantastic experience: Had the most amazing experience. The dental hygienist was very gentle and really gave me useful tips to care for teeth
Fantastic experience: An overall great experience! Simon Allen is a fantastic dentist who's managed to rid me of my fear of dentists and the whole team is a joy to deal with. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Excellent professional and friendly service by Alla Gayer they Stricklands hygienist!!
Fantastic experience: Very impressed, clean,good service, lovely receptionists.A special mention to Naomi who made me feel at ease and delivered a fantastic service. Perfect
Fantastic experience: Extremely well run Dental Practice, with experienced, skilled dentists (and Hygienists) using the latest techniques. However, for such a service, the prices are higher.
Fantastic experience: Stricklands is brilliant, everyone is friendly and they put you straight at ease especially if you are a nervous patient. I have avoided dentists for 7 years and I have now been going to Stricklands for just over a year and they are excellent every time. Would definitely recommend especially if like me you aren't the easiest patient!
Positive experience: Very good service. I had a regular check up to a very high standard of quality. The way they calmly talk you through the process of what they're checking for (including checking for lumps and bumps around your jaw area which they didn't used to do!), was very reassuring. The practice is in a great location and clean and light throughout. Staff on reception were very efficient, friendly and helpful. It is a bit expensive being a private dental centre (£75 for a 10min check up). Only complaint is that the wait times for appointments can be insane. My hygienist appointment was cancelled as they had COVID, her next available slot was 3 months later in the beginning of march! If your appointment has been cancelled I think they should go to greater lengths to try to get you seen sooner.
Fantastic experience: I came here a few years ago now with a number of problems which Simon Allen kindly took on. Now, with some restoration and two implants later I am thrilled with the results. Dr Allen is a brilliant dentist and has totally restored my faith in dentists. It is a pleasure to go there. In fact the whole team, root canal, implant and general staff are of the highest possible standard. I am so glad I found Stricklands.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from Darren and Nicki as usual. Great advice and response to questions.
Fantastic experience: I did my filling 39 years ago, and it is still perfect. The whole team are always so nice to me, I would highly recommend. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: I had been referred to Stricklands by my regular dentist for a specialist scan, the staff were very helpful throughout the visit, and would happily go back if I needed to
Fantastic experience: I had my quarterly appointment with Nicki Steel. She is excellent. Thorough, very professional - always great results.
Fantastic experience: Had a great initial appointment with Maslinder - she is extremely professional and kind. I’m a nervous patient but Maslinder managed to put me at ease and explained the options thoroughly and carefully.
Fantastic experience: We are so lucky to have this team in Haslemere. Always very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble Their service is delivered in a very professional manner. Simply excellent.
Fantastic experience: The best experience at a dentist I have ever received. Organised, helpful and professional.
Positive experience: I always feel welcome at Stricklands and feel I can trust my dentist to tell me the truth about the state of my teeth. I believe he is competent in carrying out any necessary work. I have slight niggles about the information on line which feels to me like a cut and paste job which doesnt quite fit your circumstances. For instance we are told to wait outside in our car if we are early (where exactly?), we are also told that the door will be kept locked but it hasn't been on my last two visits, you say patients should be wearing face coverings but nobody was on my recent visit. I loathe and detest that online form you requst should be filled in repeatedly. It is not user friendly. There should be a paper option available. I am Barbara Jeffers not David Jeffers (we share an email address) but there is no option to explain this on your feedback form.
Fantastic experience: Very pleased.. Dr. Allen is a fantastic dentist and the staff has been great.
Fantastic experience: A clean, bright modern practice. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by friendly staff and as a nervous patient I was put at ease in the relaxing environment. I was constantly kept informed of what was happening.
Fantastic experience: Fabulous service from Sam Ellis. Professional speedy and a great “bedside manner”. I recommend her highly
Thank you for your recommendation!
Fantastic experience: first visit, felt at ease from the start. good advice given, plan of care given . Dentist so lovely and her assistant .excellent
Fantastic experience: I was seen by Dr. Sam Ellis who I found extremely helpful, professional and concise in explaining what was wrong with my tooth problem and has drawn up a programme to ensure my teeth stay healthy in the future. It made me feel very confident that my teeth are now in safe hands!
Fantastic experience: Very comfortable and professional experience. Always put you at ease and explain what’s going. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great experience as always, Naomi was efficient and lovely!
Fantastic experience: Easy to find and welcoming reception. Sam is always professional and I am so pleased with the results of her work.

Fantastic experience: I have been using this dental service since 2005 and every experience I have had there has been positive. All the staff, whatever their role, are kind, helpful and effective. I could not recommend Stricklands highly enough.

We are please that you felt cared for. Thanks for your review.
Fantastic experience: I have had the same dentist since I was 5 so was initially nervous to have a new dentist. The young Irish gentleman,Gef, who has stepped into some big shoes was brilliant. Friendly and helpful, as was Sophia the hygienist.
We are so pleased to hear that. Thanks for letting us know.
Fantastic experience: Welcoming and very helpful service. Dentist kept me informed thought my examination as to what he was doing and any treatment that may be required.
That is great to hear. Thanks for the review.
