Thank you for your review Moira.
Positive experience: Very professional, polite and pleasant staff. However, the dentist had to add more Anaesthetic as the procedure was hurting so much. I was abused by a dentist when I was 5 and I explained this and told him that it left me with a phobia of needles. I asked if he would make sure he applied sufficient numbing gel and to adequately freeze my mouth and be gentle, talking me through the procedure as it happened. I felt extremely nervous and the procedure was very painful. When I told him he simply replied ‘it’s all in your mind’ I had previously had 4 extractions in Suffolk 2 years ago and hardly felt a thing. I am very nervous about returning to have the final root extracted. Sorry, but this wasn’t a good experience. Dr Charles Mackenzie
Hello Charles, after our telephone call today we have rectified the issues and will see you at your appointment in 2 weeks time.
Fantastic experience: Great service - friendly staff, patient, caring and comforting during my tooth extraction

Thank you Julie.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I are new to the Practice after a friend recommended them to us. We received a very quick initial appointment and an equally quick appointment for some work we both need done in just a couple of weeks. The staff are friendly and attentive and the dentist was professional and explained everything to us. We are very pleased so far with the service.
Thank you very much Margaret, for this lovely review.
Positive experience: I attended the practice for my routine appointment with the hygienist. There were no other patents waiting and no receptionist. After a few minutes a nurse came through with another patient and took me through. The hygienist explained that the nurse was on her own today due to holiday and sickness. None of this presented any problems for me. The hygienist asked me questions relating to my teeth then carried on with the nurse to do my treatment. Very efficient service and felt very comfortable with the experience.
Thanks a lot for your review Margaret! And thanks for understanding we were short staffed :)
Fantastic experience: Very happy with treatment.
Thank you Jacqueline for your lovely review.
Fantastic experience: Nice friendly practice with lovely staff. My dentist is excellent with a nice manner

Fantastic experience: I felt very safe both entering and during appointment. Very adequate measures taken for safety of all involved. 2nd time at the practice during the pandemic. No problems involved and once again found measures taken to be very adequate and safe.
Thank you very much Alison got this lovely review.
Fantastic experience: Previously I would dread going to the dentist. The week before an appointment the fear would creep in followed by tears ☹. We switched to Old Meldrum after our own dentist retired. I warned them about my anxiety and they were brilliant, helping me to overcome my fear. I can’t thank Vlad and the lovely staff enough for their help. It’s a bit of a trek to get to Oldmeldrum for us but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Thank you.
Hi Gillie, thank you so much for your lovely review, so glad Vlad and team have helped your anxiety.
Positive experience: Efficient.
Thanks Jenny!
Fantastic experience: Meldrum Dental Practice is great and I always have a good experience when visiting the dentist or hygienist. The staff are all super friendly and chatty and despite having had a real fear of dentists my whole life, they always make me feel relaxed and glad that I went.
Thank you so much Rebecca for your lovely review. We have a great team at ODP
Fantastic experience: I like that wee reminders come into message account. The reception staff are friendly and set up my next appointment quickly.

Fantastic experience: I recently paid a visit to Oldmeldrum Dentist and can say it was a very rewarding experience. All the staff was friendly and helpful. Being an amputee on a wheelchair I was ushered around the premises without any fuss and the procedure was carried out painlessly and professionally. I have no hesitation in recommending that all staff should have an immediate pay rise. Signed, Donald Hopkins

Thank you Kirsty for this lovely review.
Positive experience: Fast and efficient. Bill was emailed to me before I'd finished my appointment, £60 seems steep for 7 mins work, but that's just the cost I guess. Annoying that they are able to take on private patients but not NHS.
