Friar Street Dental Practice

Fantastic experience: A quick in and out check up with a smile is perfect for someone like me who dreads going to the dentist! Thank you, Zina and team :)

Fantastic experience: Dr Zina Kassim and her team offer an excellent and professional service.

Fantastic experience: Excellent practice, good availability of appointments, fairly priced, friendly reception staff and dentists, the hygienist Clair is very accommodating of my anxieties around treatment and always makes a special effort to ensure a comfortable time. Best practice I've been to as an adult and I'll definitely continue there

Fantastic experience: Thank you for doing good luck Helen goffe

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Zina for a few years now she is extremely professional and trustworthy. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Easy to make appointments, provides good quality dental treatment and hygenist - has improved my dental health : )

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a dentist and I was lucky to get an appointment with Friar Street Dental Practice trough their online system . I can't fault the service provided by this practice, receptionists are very welcoming and Dr. Monica and her Assistant Pria were very polite, professional and caring . Thank you everyone at Friar Street Dental Practice.

Fantastic experience: Kind kind patient dentist who reassured me through out my check up. Reception staff are very helpful as well

Fantastic experience: I’ve always had a great experience at Friar Street Dental Practice. Dr. Zina and her assistant are incredibly professional, friendly, and make every visit feel comfortable. My whole family always requests to be seen by Dr. Zina because of her outstanding care and attentiveness. Although I was deregistered due to long inactivity, I ended up visiting another dental practice last year where I paid significantly more and had a disappointing experience. I’m so glad I was able to re-register with Friar Street Dental Practice. The difference in care is night and day. Verdah, the receptionist, is always warm and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. I truly appreciate the whole team and their excellent service. I won’t be going anywhere else again—thank you for everything!

Negative experience: Booking system is a nightmare and info is misleading about calling the practice. You can never get online to get appointment, private or NHS. The receptionist suggested I wait another month as they are fully booked. Brilliant service, not

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend this dental surgery and Dr Monica enough. Had a root canal with her and she made me feel reassured and comfortable through the whole process.

I have been to different dentist but Rudiana is so thorough and she has magic in her hands… so gentle and she’s also very confident in what she’s doing .. her dental nurse Verda is also very gentle and helpful… Keep up the good work and thanks for being so patient..

Fantastic experience: Always have a good experience at Friar Street, they are prompt and kind.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Friar Street Dental Practice in Reading, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the reception staff, who were not only friendly but also incredibly efficient in handling appointments and inquiries.

Negative experience: The worst practice where it is hard to get an appointment for kids and the wait is 6 Months. On top of it during rush hours they are not accomodating of children who travel from far away during school run. The appointment is cancelled by the dentist even if one is late by 3-5 minutes. But they happily make us sit n wait for 5-10 minutes over time. Pathetic is the best way to describe their attitude towards patients.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and makes you feel extremely comfortable

Fantastic experience: Friar street dental is a great dentist, I am extremely happy with my dentist Monica she is so lovely and makes you feel very comfortable, I avoided going to the dentist for years because I didn’t want to be judged but Monica made me feel at ease she is a lovely lady and a great dentist

Fantastic experience: Absolutely Amazing Service Best Dentist In Berkshire Feel Absolutely Satisfied Cant Wait To Go Back Again And Then Get First Class Service

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Fair Street Dental with Dr. Monica Gurung. I came in with a sore wisdom tooth that was causing me significant pain, and from the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in good hands. Dr. Gurung is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly professional and friendly. She took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I was comfortable and understood my treatment options. Her approachable nature made it easy to ask questions, and she genuinely cared about my well-being. The office itself is clean, well-maintained, and welcoming, which added to the overall positive experience. The staff was also courteous and efficient, ensuring a smooth visit from start to finish. The only downside is that Fair Street Dental is highly booked—but that just goes to show how great Dr. Gurung is! Her exceptional care and service make her a sought-after dentist, and I can completely understand why. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Gurung and Fair Street Dental

Fantastic experience: I am very happy and pleased with the service I received today at Friar street dental practise. From the reception to my dentist Dr Gurung I was treated with the most care, empathy and respect. I have a great fear and phobia with dentists and came in with a great dental problem that I’ve been suffering with for years and affects my day to day life. I am so grateful for the service, patience and care I received today. Definately recommend to everyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been looking for a dentist in Berkshire for a long time, but most offer two options: "If the service is private, I will smile at you and treat you like a customer, on the other hand, if it is through the NHS, expect to be treated as a favor because you are not a customer!". Already tired of this problem, I discovered this clinic that many praise,... and now I understand why. They treat you with respect, cordiality, patience and quality. And this does not change if you are a customer coming from the NHS or not. I decided to write this review because of the service I received from Dentist ELEFTHERIA and her team, where she managed to exhaust all the qualities expected of customer service combined with technical mastery, and clarity in explanations, converting technical information in the area into simple words. With the additional fact that I do not speak English well and she understood this, patiently looked for ways to adjust the communication without showing impatience with me. I currently travel to Reading to get my treatment, no matter how far away I live, I won't risk going anywhere else. Congratulations also to Manager Shanelle because I know that in order to have the quality of care that I received, she prepared the environment and provided the conditions for this to happen. You should be a reference for many other clinics!

Fantastic experience: Alisha and the rest of the team were fantastic

Fantastic experience: Very quick and simple good job

Fantastic experience: Excellent cleaning Lindsay! Very happy customer

Fantastic experience: Brilliant service. Friendly. Super lady. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Had an emergency appointment with Alisha. I'd emailed them beforehand letting them know I'm a very nervous patient and they said they'd let her know. They were true to their word. Alisha wad brilliant with me, she advised an extraction of 2 teeth, giving me the option of a referral to a sedation clinic or she could do it. Scared as I was I opted with her and I'm glad I did. She was as gentle as she could be giving me the local and constantly reassuring me, explaining everything she was doing. Putting me completely at ease. Before I knew it the extraction was done. I can't fault her and the 2 dental nurses she had with her Thank you!!!!

Fantastic experience: Really helpful on the phone with useful information.

Fantastic experience: I had been removed from my previous dentist so found this one. When I first visited I thought it looked old and in need of a paint job leading up to it. But saying that the actual dentist are wonderful, so helpful from the receptionists to the actual dentist. Usually hated the hygienist as I felt they can sometimes be painful, but not this one, I have seen them several times now and whenever I've had an injection haven't felt it at all. Their work has been impeccable and they explain everything before hand. So glad I've joined them.

Fantastic experience: As my tooth was broken and needed an urgent dressing and a crown and my dentist, Monica and her nurse, Priya, have been welcoming and I’ve got an excellent treatment and experience. I appreciate it so much. Yousef

Fantastic experience: Thank you to the team from reception to dentist.

Fantastic experience: Have been looking for a practice taking new NHS patients for years and finally had success. Friar Street are amazing! I have really bad anxiety and the reception staff and the dentist Ellie (Eleftheria Stylianou) put me at ease. Ellie talked me through everything in my first check up, and reassured me in my follow up for my filling. I was able to listen to music on my headphones and just really appreciated the care given to me. Thank you team!

Fantastic experience: Great practice with friendly staff, had a great Hygienist appointment with Lyndsey who was very gentle and thorough

Fantastic experience: I can't praise enough. ALL the staff from every area are amazing, really great dentists. My little one is autistic, and our newly assigned dentist - thanks to the wonderful receptionists - was absolutely amazing with him. Explained everything to him and also got him involved with the procedure, which was of immense benefit for my lad. Very pleased :) (Dr Rishi, Zara and all the receptionists, brilliant! I can't thank you enough. I thought my little one was going to end up hating the dentists, but I don't now!)

Fantastic experience: Dr. Zina Kassim is very nice and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Amazing and great service. Very welcoming and friendly to a new patient and happy to walk me through all my options. Can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Friar Street Dental Practice for several years now and always been in receipt of exemplary treatment. Just recently I have had to have a root canal and crown and my dentist, Monica and her nurse have been welcoming, offering explanations to all questions asked, diligent and thorough throughout. The reception staff have supported me having to alter appointments (in a timely way) and as an all round service, I’m delighted. Thank you to you all, I am most grateful.

Fantastic experience: Let me start by saying that I am not usually a big fan of going to the dentist. In fact, the last time I went to the dentist was years ago, which I know is bad. I just fear the sound and the needles. However, my whole perception of dentists has changed since my first appointment at Friar Practice. The appointment was with Dr. Monica. I went in for four extractions after experiencing a toothache for a few days. During my Google search, Friars Dental was one of the few practices in Reading with positive reviews, so I made an appointment. Yes, I was scared, nervous, and clenching myself, but I can honestly say that Monica made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She checked in on me and explained what she was going to do, giving me the assurance that it wouldn't hurt. As someone who used to hate going to the dentist, I never thought I would say this, but I will definitely revisit the dental soon for my regular hygiene check-up. If you are reading this, I highly recommend Friars Dental, especially Dr. Monica Gurung. I'm sure all the staff there are equally lovely, but my experience was with her, so I can vouch for it. Usually, I am hesitant to write reviews online because it takes time, but when I do, it is because I have received exceptional service that made me go out of my way. This is genuinely coming from my heart and an honest experience. Once again, thank you, Friar Street Dental team.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant work from Monica Gurung and Very helpful and friendly reception staff Sunaina

Fantastic experience: Being somewhat nervous of Dentists, All the staff where so professional, I was able to get over any anxiety I had. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Best dentist I’ve ever been to. Fantastic with children, especially first appointments when they’re little. Friendly and informative and never feel like they’re trying to make me spend money on extras! Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I was having a temporary filling replaced with a permanent filling. The dentist was careful to check with me what she was going to do. She went about her work with precision and care and caused as little pain as possible especially as it was a deep filling. She completed an excellent job and explained what she had done and what to do for aftercare. All round great job.

Fantastic experience: Had a wisdom tooth out by dentist Maz and his assistant. It went well, he explained everything clearly, and it didn't take as long as it could have (about 20 minutes I think). Would recommend for others needing a tooth extracted.

Positive experience: Dentist Rishi treated me and his very good. Takes precaution and care.

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to visit, Amanda on reception always happy , polite and smiling, what’s not to like

Fantastic experience: Brilliant work from Monica Gurung when I had a crown fitted, I was a little nervous but she put me at ease and made sure I was comfortable and happy throughout the process. And the crown looks and feels fantastic! Thankyou

Fantastic experience: Caring professional dentists, I would recommend this practice to anyone . My only slight frustration is, that sometimes it takes an age for a receptionist to answer the phone

Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment, with future options well explained. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly reception staff. Eleftheria is a great dentist, very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Overall, there are no reasons to complain, and I would've definitely recommend the practice

Fantastic experience: Right from registration to addressing my son’s dental issues, it was flawless. Thank you everyone at Friar street Dental.

Fantastic experience: Dr Monica Gurung and Priya are always professional and work well as a team, as they go the extra mile to make patients comfortable during dental procedures and check ups.

Fantastic experience: Been to this Dentist for 15 years. I see Rudaina. I have had to have emergency treatment and was seen as an emergency. I was so grateful to Rudaina getting me in at such short notice. She has treated me with such kindness and has explained everything at each stage and the cost at each stage. Wonderful dentist

Fantastic experience: Hello , I have to say massive thanks to Dr Rishi Daggar BDS (Hons) , he is very kind , attentive person, he has done everything properly , and my daughter was asking him lots questions how it works during this session The dentist explained it perfectly and showed how a filling dry with the special equipment it was incredible I wish him the best patients in the world ️

Fantastic experience: Dr. Rishi Daggar is the best dentist in the UK. I can fully recommend his services to every patient. Full professionalism, reliability and expert performance of work. The doctor is very nice and friendly, which makes the patient feel at ease in his office. He always talks to the patient and provides him with all information about treatment and further prevention. I am very happy and satisfied that me and my family can use his professional services. Doctor, THANK YOU!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely thrilled with my composite bonding and filing done by Monica Gurung! I feel much more confident in my smile…can’t stop showing off my teeth! Thank you so much Monica, only downside is that I always feel my appointments are very rushed and until I can 100% be satisfied, I’m almost inclined to leave

Fantastic experience: Monica and the team at Friar Street Dental are wonderful and offer a very professional service. In my lifetime I have been with 4 dentist's and the last two were clueless (no names mentioned). Having had my tooth extracted on 2 previous occasions, I can say that this time was better and easier than before. A month before, they controlled the pain for a tooth infection (the tooth taken out). This is now my family dentist. I have 3 under 10 year olds and they will be going for their first dentist checkup soon. Thank you from Kev. Would highly recommend *****

Fantastic experience: Thank you for the from all the staff. My daughter's tooth was displaced after an accident at the playground. I was very surprised that the staff could arrange an immediate appointment no more than 5 minutes after I phoned the practice. It was horrible for a mother to see her child with blood and displaced tooth in the mouth. What you did helped a lot!

Fantastic experience: My dentist is amazing, not only is she good at her job. She is kind and caring. Thanks Eli.

Fantastic experience: A really good dentist. Had Isobel before who was great and now Rishi who was positive and informative.

Fantastic experience: Never have any problems here. Monica and her nurse are especially lovely and always make sure you're happy

Positive experience: Very pleasant experience at Friar street medical practice. So far I just went for an assessment, but the staff was very nice and the doctor (I've been seen by Dr Rishi Daggar) has been very professional and kind. The building itself has room for improvement but at least the individual rooms for checks are nice and clean.

Fantastic experience: Great service, Monica was friendly, funny and professional

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this dentist's practice for two years. I haven't been attending the dentist for a little while and my teeth have become unhealthy, however, Monica helped me to go back to my natural, healthy teeth. She is so caring and works in the best interest of the patient. So much appreciation for Monica.

Fantastic experience: They were very polite and helpful with my toothache and removing a tooth

Fantastic experience: Dr. Monica is an great specialist!

Fantastic experience: This appointment was for my 7 year old daughter and dentist Eleftheria Stylianou was brilliant with her. Put her at ease and explained everything she was going to do.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff especially Shanelle, sue and Ellie x

Fantastic experience: Fantastic. Ellie is a really great dentist who you feel is genuinely looking out for your well being without trying to sell you on things unnecessarily. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Yes I'm very very happy with my Dental clinic On Friar Street Reading .in my views, from Receiption staff + my Dentists name 's Miss Eleftheria Stylianou so professional caring , calming & speaking clearly to make sure me to understanding about my treatment . She's a star to me Many thanks to whole staff service on 15 Friar Street Reading

Fantastic experience: Professional explanation with clarity. Coordinated well with each other team effort

Fantastic experience: I originally signed up with this dental practice because my local ones were all booked up, but I'm really glad they were. I've been registered here for a few years now and have always been really happy with the service. All of the staff are really friendly and helpful, and things like the automated appointment reminders are really handy. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Good communication, Dr Monica explained in detail what mu current condition is and what procedure needs to be done to remedy the condition. Very clear on pricing and given best advice. Procedure was painless and quick. I was short of time so she left one tooth for later to accommodate me. Very happy with the service. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Was seen by Dr Rishi for some composite bonding. I am extremely happy with the results. I was made to feel very relaxed as I can get anxious with certain procedures. Everyone from Dr Rishi, to his brilliant nurse, to the entire team and staff were very welcoming and helpful. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional service from Eleftheria Stylianou at my appointment, she was kind and considerate and I was very happy with the service I received. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I really had nice experience at friar street dental practice as their client. Here especially I would appreciate the job role of Ms. Sunaina as well Dr.Monica,who served as receptionist and Dentist respectively .They truly provide the best services and do their work tremendously.
