The Dentists - MK Vasant MBE and Dental Associates: Reviews
Negative experience: I came here three different times in past one year with different people and every single time I had to wait for at least 45mins to an hour. And when you ask the receptionist she says you can rebook if you don’t wanna wait. After 55 mins of waiting this time, one of the receptionist came to us and said there’s been an upset patient upstairs which is why there’s delay. It’s frustrating as it happens constantly every time you visit. Like If you always gonna run late then book your appointments for longer. This is no behaviour to tolerate as it keeps happening every single time you visit this practice. Very disappointed
Fantastic experience: Could not fault this dentist. First class treatment from start to finish. John is a wonderful oral surgeon. All the staff are fantastic. I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for today. I am a very nervous person and my visit could not have been made better. You are all a great, great team.
Fantastic experience: Ace groovy perfect

Fantastic experience: The dental practice is fantastic! The receptionists are always so friendly, and Dr. Harry is amazing with kids.

Fantastic experience: best dentist in london
You are most kind to say those words Petra. You are welcome
Fantastic experience: My NHS dentist referred me for oral surgery. I was mildly apprehensive. No need. It was an excellent experience all round. The approach to care, the welcoming atmosphere of the bright, sparkling premises, the quiet professionalism and warmth of staff, and the skill of John Duka above all. I emerged delighted and have remained so. I would recommend this practice highly on the basis of that experience.
Dear Paula,
Thanks Paula for your kind remarks. I have passed the message on the team and also the cleaner who takes great pride in keeping the premises bright and clean. We hope you will not need oral surgery again although you are most welcome if you do.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic clean and spacious practice with the most kindest team. Had to have an extraction but was made to feel comfortable from start to finish. Big shout out to reception team Teresa and Ruth, to the dentist John and his assistant Priscella..thank you all so much..you're amazing, just hope now I heal well went back to John a month after to correct some splintering on my gum and again he made me feel so comfortable and was very gentle and patient with me...huge thank you as I can't believe how kind everyone is here!
Thanks Gabor for your kind comments. I have shared them with the team.
Fantastic experience: Had to have two teeth removed and from the moment I walked into the practice I felt relaxed as the reception staff were brilliant, when I got to the dental room before my appointment time the nurse was very professional and very relaxing . Once I meet the dentist I can only say he was amazing and totally professional in his manor and workmanship. If this dentist was local to me I would be moving my practice to this dentist . Totally recommend this practice 100% simply brilliant from the moment I walked in the door
Thanks Scott for taking the trouble to write the review. I have passed it on to the team. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient with Dr Vasant for approximately 35 years. Over that time I have noted that he constantly seeks to develop the professional services that he offers. he has never ‘stood still’.I have always admired his skills, not least his ability to communicate effectively with me as a patient. His approach and service makes me feel calm and reassured. I trust Dr Vasant and know that his advice will be comprehensive and appropriate. I moved a few miles away from the area 20 years ago but still travel over to his Dental Centre. The ethos which Dr Vasant generates means that his colleagues also provide an outstanding service, whatever their role. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this Dental Practice
Thanks for your long and valued custom. Thanks for noticing that we do not "stand still" -strive for constant improvements. We thank you for the appreciation and the encouragement which means a lot to us.
Fantastic experience: Thank you all for your help. Sadeque
Thanks Sadeque. You are most welcome.

A big thank you for being so kind, helpful and professional. Two teeth extracted, one of them wisdom. Great job! Did not feel a thing.

Fantastic experience: This has been my 2nd visit for tooth extraction. Ive always been a nervous patient but I have to thank Dr John Duker and the whole team for their caring and ability to put me at ease. The process to remove two teeth took approximately 10 minutes and I didnt feel a thing! I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Thank you Dr Duker.
Thanks Jenny. Dr Duker and his team thank you for taking the trouble to pen the review.
Fantastic experience: I'm actually afraid of the dentist, here I had the best experience, starting from the reception to Dr Arahs Zaker and his assistant Fizzian Samira! I would give 10 stars if I could!
Thanks Loredana for a flattering review. We will not get complacent though. We must continue to do our job well :)

Thanks zxc for your very kind words.
Positive experience: All clear for July 2023 Recent visit this week was good, no problems.. sensible and efficient dentist. On this particular occasion there were no complications and he performed a proper evaluation and assessment of work required and further appointments Not clear a year a go Previous appointments have had problems with other dentists at this practice Although not as bad as some for sure, were not for me and were discordant and non compliant saying 1 thing to me then calling the boss to argue and saying something else had been said and making me look stupid then not doing the work required
Thanks Sandria. We are pleased that we were delighted to help eventually. Best wishes from the team.
Fantastic experience: i hate the denist but when i tell you this man couldn’t of made me feel any better, DR Arash Sharak THANKYOU SO MUCH!! you are amazing
Thanks Morgs. It was our pleasure to care for you and thanks for taking the trouble to write a review. The team has asked me to appreciate your kind gesture.
Fantastic experience: I had been referred by my dentist to this practice to have a wisdom tooth removed. I was nervous about the injections and the process as the tooth was very close to the nerve. Dr Arash Zaker Shahrak was excellent. He was very efficient and I could see he had a lot of experience. The injections did not hurt and the extraction was very quick. I am so grateful! Everyone in the practice was freindly and very welcoming. Marie-Louise Fuentes (8.7.2023)
Thanks Marie-Louise for taking the trouble to write a review. I will pass the message on to the team. Please also thank your dentist for entrusting us to be part of the team to care for you.
Fantastic experience: I had my wisdom tooth extractions done by Dr Shahrak and cannot recommend this clinic enough. They are friendly, always on time and very professional. I was in and out of the chair within 15 minutes and the recovery was very smooth and easy.
Thanks Larissa for taking the trouble to write a review. I will pass the message on to the team.
Fantastic experience: Had a wisdom tooth removed today that was casing me pain for a while , by Dr. Arash Zaker Shahrak. I had never had any sort of procedure done like this before so I wasn’t sure what to expect and he made the process very smooth and fast. Super relaxed as well.
Thanks Alex for taking the trouble to write the review. We hope it will help other patients in a similar situation and boost the staff morale.
Fantastic experience: The best dental care treatment I have ever received. I came here with troubling wisdom tooth and painful infection. I was looked after and extraction of wisdom tooth was so quick and it did not even hurt. Dr. Arash Zaker Shahrak with Priscilla and Alisha kept me really calm and were all so nice. Mostly appreciated is the gift of time they have given me as they found time to help me when no one else would. Thank you so much.
Thanks Sona for taking the time to write the review. I will pass the message on to the team. Glad you were looked after by our team who love their work.
Fantastic experience: I came here to have 4 wisdom teeth removed. I was thoroughly looked after and the entire process was as painless as possible. Dr. A rash Zaker Shahrak, Samina and Fizziayn were extremely skilled and helpful. Can’t recommend them enough
Thanks Waleed. We are delighted to help. I will pass the message on to the team.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic from the receptionist to the consultation so friendly and very welcoming. I had a tooth extraction today I went in very nervous but my dentist was great he was very patient kept me calm throughout my appointment best experience. Best dentist ever Thank you all so much God bless
Thanks Suzanne. We are pleased for you. Thanks for taking the trouble to write a review.
Negative experience: Went to this practice to get a second opinion as I had teeth pain but my dentist could not find anything. I stated on the forms that I was a nervous patient and my health conditions. Nothing was considered and I felt super uncomfortable and confused due to the dentist’s rude attitude. I basically paid £90 just to be sat on the chair for a very brief time and to be spoken in a patronising manner by the dentist. No X-rays were taken, which I understood the reason as I had already X-rays taken from my dentist and it was to avoid further exposure. The dentist Ronuk Vasant then requested my dentist details to request the X-rays, which were sent to him as my dentist responded promptly and were also sent to me. I have not heard anything from him since the appointment on the 24th February and didn’t get a dental plan whatsoever. Such a waste of money.
We have made contact shortly after this review was posted. We are sorry that you felt there was any rudeness towards you. We explained that we had requested radiographs from your previous dentist on the same day that you attended. When they did arrive, the dentist was away, so we could not respond to you straight away. Regrettably, rather than contact the practice to find out what had happened and give us the opportunity to explain the delay, you chose to post a Google Review. You will appreciate that the decision to avoid repeating x-rays is made with the best interests of the patient in mind to keep radiation exposure down to a minimum, as the law requires. You will also appreciate that diagnoses are not always straightforward to make, can take time and further investigations. We did communicate the above with you in writing. We hope that the explanation and this arrangements we made with you are to your satisfaction.
Positive experience: Appt was 10:15 but waited 45 mins which was annoying. However staff were super apologetic. Tooth extraction was pain free and quick. Dr Shahrak was great at keeping me calm and guided me through each step. Staff Fizziann & Priscilla were helpful and friendly.
Thanks Freddy. So sorry for the wait. Thanks for your
understanding. As you know, we try and combine consultation and surgery for expediency. Sadly, this would mean our time allocated in not perfect . Some patients are anxious so can take longer to treat with tender loving care.
Fantastic experience: I had both of my widsome tooth taken out by Dr Arash Zaker Shahrak. All I want to say his hand are the best, he kept me calm all the way. Both of the time the assistant were so nice that they hold my hand throughout the process. I will definitely recommend this dentist.
Thanks Danai. Appreciate your comments. Passed on to the team.
Fantastic experience: The best dental care I have ever experienced! Dr Arash Shahrak removed my impacted wisdom teeth. It was over so quickly. He is absolutely brilliant and best dentist ever.
Thanks Niloufar for your kind words. I have informed Dr Arash and his assistants Samina and Nisar today.
Fantastic experience: Dr Arash Zaker Shahrak is a really good and experienced with help of Fizzian, needed tooth extraction, it was painless and quick Really thankful
Thanks Ibrahim for taking the trouble to acknowledge us. The team is thankful to your referring dentist and to yourself for your custom.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending the dental clinic for years. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The clinic is very clean and modern. My dentist Raj is very experienced and patient as I am a very nervous person when comes to dental treatment.
Thanks Dorothea for your kind words. Our staff and the cleaner are delighted to hear that
Fantastic experience: Great experience!, lovely staff and quick appointment.
We are so grateful for your kind words. Thanks for sharing your review with us and the community.
Fantastic experience: Great experience, had my wisdom tooth extracted on Monday and they looked after me and was very fast. Dr. Arash, Nurse Alisha, Nurse Fizz Nurse Priscila all looked after me and gave me fantastic advice. Would definitely recommend
Thanks Ashley for taking the trouble to leave a review. This would help many anxious patients.
Fantastic experience: I was referred by my dentist for a wisdom tooth extraction, I am pleased to go back and get my other one removed. Dr Shahrak performed the extraction and took extra care by prescribing me with antibiotics due to my health condition. Nurse Fizzian was very kind and helpful throughout the whole procedure. I was a little anxious however both helped to keep me distracted by talking to me. It was quick and painless. As a whole the practice is great; all staff are friendly. The practice is modern with great technology, I had no issues with taking my x-ray here! Update: I had my other tooth removed, the process was quick and easy. I am healing well due to me following the advise from the Dr and Nurse. I had a warm welcome from Nurse Fizzian who noticed me in the waiting room whilst she walked past. All staff are welcoming and kind, it felt nice to be remembered by Nurse Fizzian especially because I had only visited once before for a quick procedure.
Thanks Deborah for your kind remarks. I have passed the message to the team.Thanks again, and we hope to make your next visit just as positive. Have an amazing day!
Fantastic experience: I've had a hygienist appointment recently. Shay has done a good job, removed the stains on my teeth and gave me confidence to smile again. She was professional and caring. Shay understood my fear of dentists in general and tried to make my experience as pleasant as possible. She has answered all my questions. I am very pleased with the result and would recommend the hygienist at MK Vassant.
Thanks Diana. We are pleased that you are happy with the outcome. Keep smiling! Look forward to seeing you again soon. I will draw Shay’s attention to your comments.
Fantastic experience: I saw the hygienist today Shay, who has done an amazing job in the first session. This was my first trip to the dentist post covid and my teeth looked terrible, with stains to the point I felt conscious to smile and talking. I left there feeling so over the moon, now being able to confidently smile. Shay was really lovely, made me feel at easy and took her time, I'm so happy with the great results. I'm looking forward to some further work and can't wait to see the outcome.
Thanks Nickie for your kind comments which I have passed on to the team. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Seasonal Greetings to you. Keep Smiling!
Fantastic experience: Had a wisdom tooth extraction, was so simple and easy. Was done in a minute. Dr. Arash Zaker Shahrak, Priscilla and Alisha were amazing, kept me calm and happy!
Thanks Abbey. I will pass the message on to the team. Do thank your referring dentist for the opportunity.
Fantastic experience: Dr Shahrak and his assistant Fizzain made visiting the dentist a light experience. I had my wisdom tooth removed in a blink of an eye with limited pain. The best dentist surgery in town!
Thanks Simi. I will relay the message to the team. Do thank your referring dentist for giving an this opportunity yo serve you.
Fantastic experience: I was referred here for the extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth that has been troubling me for many years and no normal dentist felt comfortable removing. I saw John Duker and he was fantastic. Great service and very personable, as was his dental technician. I highly recommend this dental practice.
Thanks Rebecca. I am glad you were comfortable. I have passed the message on to Dr Duker and his dental assistants Georgina and Priscilla who served you. Please also thank your referring dentist to make us part of his team.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist and very happy with the treatment Dr Arash Zaker Shahrak was excellent and gentle the treatment I didn’t feel anything when he was taking may though and the stuff Fizziam was kind and friendly. thanks for your help Highly recommend
Thanks Yasmin. Glad we were able to look after you. I will pass the message on to the team. Please thank your referring dentist to give us the privilege of being part of the team.
Fantastic experience: I was referred here for a tooth extraction; the practice is very clean, and the reception staff was nice. The removal was done by Dr Arash Shahrak and Fizzian. Had a nice chat with Dr Shahrak while waiting for the numbing to take affect and before I knew it the tooth was out. Fizzian explained the after care and my extraction is healing well. 10/10
Thanks Roxie. I have relayed your message to the team. Thanks for taking the trouble to write. It gives a nice boost when they are recognised and appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I just had my upper molar 7 removed by John Duka he is absolutely brilliant! Seriously it was over so quickly only felt small scratch from injections I had 2 and that was it no pressure or struggle when he removed the tooth he is the best dentist ever and he had an amazing patient and doctor manner ! Thank you so much BW Soha A-J from Coulsdon - my regular dentist referred me to John as complex back tooth removal as it was fractured and I couldn’t have root canal as it wouldn’t solve the problem.
Thanks Aniya. We are pleased it went well. Please thank your dentist for making us part of their team.
Fantastic experience: Dr Shahrak and Fizzian were amazing. First time going to the dentist and they really took care of me and done a great job!! Thank you!
Thanks. Anu. I have passed the message to the Saturday team who served you today and others who have the same ethos.
Fantastic experience: would like to thank, Dr Arash and his nurses Fizzian and Samina for removing my wisdom tooth, my dentist said 8 to 12 weeks, got told about MK Vasant rung them and they removed the tooth the same day. absolute god send
Thanks Jamie. I will share this with Dr Arash, Fizzian and Samina. Dr Vasant
Fantastic experience: Referred by my dentist for wisdom tooth extraction as the tooth was growing out sideways. Was very anxious and apprehensive. On arrival the receptionists were very polite. When meeting the dentist and his assistant they were again very welcoming. Mr John Duker was the surgeon and he was amazing. He talked me through every step along the way and I was made to feel so at ease. The care is amazing and I really can't fault the staff.
Thanks Emmannuella. Just wanted to let you know how much your review means to us for a further great collaboration. Our team does everything they can to provide our patients with the best service. However, it always makes our day when a patient appreciates it. Please also thank your dentist for the kind referral.
Negative experience: Is 1 of the worst dentist in Norbury/Croydon area, very rude staff although act as though they are helpful, saw a guy yesterday being told to leave the surgery when he was trying to make legitimate complaint about staff. Not the kind of treatment I was hoping to see here and can see this dental surgery as a subtle sexist practice due to the many women that work here and the way they treat men is apparent. They even saved my number so they don't have to answer my calls, how disgusting the service is here is appalling.... Also look at the reviews, this practice has a history of being rude and not responding to patients that have had bad experiences, a definitive turn off! Do not use !!
Fantastic experience: I was referred by my regular dentist to MKVasants, to have a wisdom tooth extraction. As a patient, I had never received any dental treatment in the past, so I was nervous and apprehensive about the procedure. The oral surgeon Dr John Duker and assisting nurse were very attentive and made me feel at ease throughout my treatment. My experience at Mkvasants was efficient, professional and pain-free! Highly recommend their services.
Thanks Stephanie for taking the time to write the review. I will pass the message on to Dr Duker and the team. We are delighted that you were comfortable during and after the procedure.
Negative experience: My Wife came to see a dentist here. He was so rude to her that she came home upset, and refused to go back. My wife needed urgent treatment to start but the dentist said she will have to wait as his clinic was extremely busy and if he caught covid her appointment works need to be cancelled. My wife has a life threatening condition and he didn’t care! Never use this dentist they only care about making money not about patients! Avoid
We are unable to identify your wife as we do not know her name. Nevertheless, we are sorry that your wife was upset for whatever reason. Clearly, it was our failing if this was not eloquently conveyed to your wife. During the covid 19 period, we had to follow government guidelines regarding the number of patients, fallow period (gaps between each patient to before we could see another one), infection control protocols that were laid down by the Department of Health to protect the patients and our staff. Dr M Vasant, Principal
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous having broken tooth extracted but the professional dentist and lovely nurse put my mind at rest and the whole experience was really not as bad as I had anticipated.
Thank you Linda for taking the trouble to write I have conveyed your kind message to the nurse who attended you. Thank you. We look forward to your next visit. Dr M and R Vasant. Joint Principals
Positive experience: The three stars are for the nurses who were very kind to me during my tooth extraction. I'd give them five if the rating was just for them. The surgeon got my tooth out, which I'm thankful for. I'm still in pain a week or so later but this possibility was explained in the mouth care document that I was given. I would like to recommend that surgeons do not make insensitive 'jokes' that could scare patients, especially those who might be nervous about dental appointments. I think surgeons should also be careful about how they talk about the condition of a patient's teeth and the tone of voice they use when making remarks about patients taking better care of their teeth. I've done my best but it was painful to thoroughly clean the tooth that was extracted and the ones close to it. Telling a patient after a procedure is completed, that they can stop shaking isn't very helpful or kind. Some understanding that there are other factors besides pain that can cause a patient to be fearful would also be good. The surgeon tried to pull the tooth out but when he saw that this wasn't going to happen without a lot of discomfort and fear, he opted for surgical removal. Prior to the beginning of the procedure, he'd tugged on the tooth to see how loose it was. It was a bit loose but it didn't seem loose enough for it to be extracted in this way. The whole experience was pretty awful and I'm extremely grateful for the nurses' support and kindness. I'm not sure if I'd have got through the experience without them.
Thanks for your review. In order to identify you and the team who treated you, we need to know your name you used to register with the practice rather than, presumably, this nick name with google? We would appreciate if you could call the practice to us or email us. Your feedback is very valuable to us.
Fantastic experience: I was referred here by my own Practice and nervous about whether they would be able to remove my wisdom tooth without causing a lot of pain. I shouldn't have worried! The whole Practice were warm and friendly and very very professional and reassuring. I had no hygiene worries as the consulting room was very clean - including the tv on the ceiling above my chair!!. It took longer for the local anaesthetic to work than it did to remove my tooth, brilliant. Thank you all very much.
Thank you Lisa for you positive comments regarding the practice staff and hygiene. We are delighted that you had an uncomplicated and expedient surgery. We wish you a speedy recovery too.
Your words will be very motivating to our staff who take great pride in their work. Glad you like the idea of ceiling TV which we have in all our treatment rooms. Please also convey our thanks to your practice for the valued referral. Dr M Vasant
Fantastic experience: Just called today (25/06/21) to sign up as an NHS patient and book an appointment. The receptionist was fantastic, super efficient and polite.
Thanks James for your kind acknowledgement. The receptionist appreciated it.
Fantastic experience: Both dr Vasant & his son Ronak vasant they are very professional Dentist I had complicated issues with my implant which was done abroad in India they have resolved the issue most of the time I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to do implant these people are professional and through
Thanks Zulfikar. It has been a pleasure to have you and family as patients for such as long time. Stay Blessed.
Fantastic experience: Had an extraction yesterday, this is my third one. Mr John Duker and his staff were exceptional again! I am a very nervous patient due to bad experiences as a child. Mr Duker and his staff were patient, gentle and very kind yesterday, the extraction was not easy but he kept his cool and today I received a lovely call from the surgery checking to make sure I was okay!! ( No pain today just a bit of tenderness ) WELL DONE AND THANK YOU!!! Keep up the good work
Thanks Dawn. I have shown the review to John. He appreciated your comments.
Fantastic experience: Dr. John Duker was exceptional , very experienced and has a good sense of humour :-) I came to take my tooth out and I did not feel any pain when he took it out. Definitely recommend this dentist. Job well done !
Thanks Sameer for your kind words. I have passed on the comments to Dr Duker.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending this dentist for nearly 30 years and have always felt in safe hands with Raj.
Thank Muriel. The practice is delighted to have so many loyal patients. We have been going since 1979 (although the practice was established even 40 years before that) under the same management with very stable patients and staff. There are some patients we have been seeing since them and some who followed us when we worked around Norbury. Wonderful to have such loyalty. Thanks
Fantastic experience: I wasn't before but lately have become a very nervous dental patient. One of my own patient's recommended Mr Vasant to me. I was beyond impressed with my treatment and care. He has an excellent bedside manner. and I felt I was in good hands and updated and reassured during the whole appointment. I will return and will recommend to others.
Thanks Hannah for your kind words. We look forward to seeing you at your next visit.
Negative experience: Avoid like the plague! I used this place over 4 years ago and I'm still in pain!!! Instead of filling in a gap in biting tooth, they made the gap smaller meaning it's near impossible to get stuck food bits out, and was told that's the best they can do! ?!?
We are unable to identify you so we cannot comment. It is unfortunate that you have not returned with your problem which allegedly started 4 years ago after you had filling. We do not claim that we are infallible. However, if would give us an opportunity to see you, we are certain that we can help you. Please contact us.
Fantastic experience: Excellent! I was initially referred by my dentist for a dental implant. However, Dr Vasant was able to save the tooth (always better if it’s possible) by recommending a root canal, which was very successful (and much cheaper). Dr Vasant did what was best for the tooth, rather than just charge for a dental implant. I was reassured by his calm manner and obvious wealth of experience. The root canal specialist (Mr Saraafi) was also brilliant and worked very quickly. As a patient you feel well looked after and they continue to check if you are comfortable, so if you are at all nervous about dental work this is the place to go. Highly recommend.
Thanks Celeste for your kind words. We are delighted that things worked out well for you with a bonus that it saved money and time! Thankfully we have a great team which includes many specialists and hence great repertoire and experience. I will let Dr Hamed Sarraafi know
Fantastic experience: Dr Vasant is amazing
Thanks Mir. It is most kind of you to take the trouble to write.
Fantastic experience: I had my bottom wisdom tooth out today and from the minute i got there the staff were very professional and made me feel very at ease, as i was really nervous, Mr Duker took my tooth out in no time he was very profesional and made sure i was at ease through the whole procedure. I would highly recommend and will be returning if i need any more work done
Thanks Dominique. All the staff and Dr Duker join me in thanking you for your comments. They appreciate it. You are most welcome if you need us again. Please thank your dentist for the recommendation also.
Fantastic experience: Had a decayed wisdom tooth extraction performed yesterday after being in the worst pain of my life for most of the year due to lock down. I was so nervous and nauseas to go to this appointment I felt like crying. However when I met the staff and dr John Duker, they were very attentive to my nerves, I couldn't believe how quick the procedure went,. Under a minute!! I just want to say thank you to the best dentist I have met so far. The relief today not to be having that intense pain I was going through is amazing. Thanks so much x
Thanks Holly for taking the trouble for the feedback. We are so pleased that all went went for you. Dr Duker and the team appreciate your comments.
Fantastic experience: Great service! I would highly recommend this dental practice
Thanks Victoria. Love to see you again.
Fantastic experience: I was both an employee and a patient at MK Vasant and I am pleased to say it's a lovely place full of friendly professionals. Doctor Vasant and his team take an incredibly great care of each and every patient and they are keen on introducing the latest methods of treatment. If you are looking for a clean, well-managed and reasonably priced clinic with exceptional work ethics, this is a place to go to. During my time in the practice, I met a great deal of happy and satisfied patients, many of whom had been loyal customers for years and some had been with the clinic from the very beginning. I highly recommend this dental practice to everyone.
Thanks Aggie. Hope you are settling down well at your new abode. Keep in touch.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful dentist especially Dr Allen he knows so good about the teeth importance . I started my treatment with him and still doing and it's going really well. Staff are very friendly. They answered every question I had. I will continue to go there.
Thanks Erol. I will pass the message on the Alan.
Fantastic experience: Visited Mr John Duker last friday with my sister for an extraction. Mr Duker and his nursing staff very welcoming and professional. the reception staff very nice and the practice very organised and clean. would highly recommend this surgery.
Thanks Mick for your kind words and particularly the positive comments on cleanliness. I will pass this on to Dr Duker and our team as well as our cleaner. With emerging advice and guidance, even following your visit on Friday, we have mobilised extra staff to continually clean and deep clean. For example, on last Saturday, during our Children Fun Day, we had a staff member at the door offering alcohol gels to every person who came through our door and continually cleaning handrails, chair arms and door handles . Hopefully, together, we will successfully fight the Covid-19. Thanks again.
Fantastic experience: Dr Vasant's dental practice is excellent in every way. The reception area is always nice and clean with very friendly staff that are always helpful. Dr Vasant always explains any procedure before starting and let's you know each step of the way what he he is doing. I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for an excellent service.
Thanks Chris for your kind comments.We will let the team know. We are so pleased that patients notice our team's ethos on cleanliness and hygiene. Whilst the cleaner is excellent and does a great job outside the practice hours, it is the team that maintains the cleanliness during the surgery hours. We are pleased that you approve our policy of "inform before you perform" which is an essential part of the consent process. See you at your next visit.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of this dental surgery for many years and have been a patient of both Dr M K Vasant and Dr Raj Bolaky. I no longer live in the area in which they practice but always ensure any dental work both my family and I require is conducted by this surgery. Dr Bolaky has completed general and cosmetic for us all and I have no hesitation in recommending his work as it’s highly skilled and excellent value for money. Friends and colleagues who have used this practice rate it highly. Thank you so much for your professionalism and outstanding dentistry.
Thanks Penny for the kind words. I will let Dr Bolaky know. We are always delighted to welcome patients like yourself (and more local ones of course) who travel some distance to see us. We are sorry that we cannot hold the traffic for you! We hope that the tea/coffee/cold water/apples and the magazines in our lounge help you unwind once you arrive. Look forward to your and family's next visit
Fantastic experience: I had two removals done by John Duker and I can tell I was terrified at first and shaking and all, but he proved me all wrong. He took my tooth out both times in 5 seconds, he is literally the best, I could never imagine tooth removal so easy and quick without any pain. Thanks again!
Thanks Krisztina for the kind words. I will let John know. It is so nice of you to take the trouble to write about your positive experience. We are so pleased that it worked so well for you- sadly some take longer than 5 seconds as some reviews have mentioned! As mentioned elsewhere, as we combine an assessment with a procedure sometimes, we will get caught out.
Positive experience: great dentists on hand and fast service once you arrive
Thanks Tyrone for taking the trouble to write a review. I will pass the message on to your dentist
Fantastic experience: I had an appointment with John Duker to extract a wisdom tooth. I was very nervous, but he put me at ease and he pulled it out in no time. Literally, I thought he turned away for some tool, but then he said "we're ready" it was quick and painless. Also friendly Definitely recommended.
We are so pleased that that you had a positive experience. As you may know wisdom teeth can be challenging as the bone there is very hard, some of them can be at an awkward angle and healing at that site in some individuals is poor due to poor circulation. I will let Dr Duker know.
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this Dental Practice for I should think at least 40 years! I would not go anywhere else. Dr Vasant is excellent as is Ben the hygienist I see. The reception is clean and tidy and Ruth is always so welcoming. I would recommend this Dental Practice to anyone.
Thanks Joanna. You are showing our age!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this wonderful dental surgery for the past ten years. They were recommended to me by my local dentist, as an excellent centre for implant surgery, and I can wholehearted recommend them. The procedure was carried out by Dr. Vasant with such precision and expertise, and all maintenance has been dealt with to the same high standard. The practice is welcoming and friendly, the reception area is large and comfortable, and there is easy free parking in the local roads.
Thanks. We look forward to your next visit.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience, very good quality. The staff are polite, professional, courteous and friendly. Recommending for any dental work.
We are as pleased that your experience was good and the quality met with your approval. I will pass on the message to the team.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this practice for many years after a terrible experience with a local dentist. They botched two fillings and they needed to be replaced quickly. Dr Vasant was able to assist and I have been consistently impressed with the overall service since then. He gives very good advice on maintaining oral health and if you follow it you will rarely need any work done. My son looks forward to his check ups! Highly recommend.
Thanks for your very positive comments. We are so glad that your son enjoys coming here too.See you soon.
Fantastic experience: This dental practice is excellent in every way. The reception area is always nice and clean with very friendly staff that are always helpful. Dr Vasant and his team are excellent that goes above and beyond their duties. I have been visiting this dentist for over 30 years and highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for an excellent service.
Thanks for your long and valued custom. And thanks for taking the trouble to write the review. We look forward to your next visit
Fantastic experience: I have always admired there skills they are always very kind towards me has a very good fresh atmosphere i highly recommend everyone to go there
Thanks for your kind words.Look forward to your next visit.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr Vasant since my children were young - they are now in their forties. He is an expert at pain relief and always explains any necessary treatment. Ben, my hygienist, is unfailingly cheerful and always puts me at ease. Everyone at the surgery is polite and helpful and I have always been happy with the care I have been given. Bernadette.
Thanks for your comments. I will pass the message on to the team and to Ben.
