Negative experience: IF YOU HAVE A BREATHING PROBLEM AVOID THIS SURGERY. Having been a patient since, I think, 2018 I have now been taken off their list as, apparently I never attended an appointment in May 2020 (wasn't that in the first few months of Covid? and I would never not turn up to an appointment without notifying the surgery). Also, apparently, I have cancelled in less than 24 hours several times but, in my defence and having contacted the surgery on the days I have cancelled, I have COPD which makes it difficult for me to breathe so if I wake up on the day of the appointment with a cold and cancelled the appointment that day it's due to not being comfortable when the chair is reclined to such a level making it difficult for me to breathe. I have mentioned this to the dentist but told wouldn't be able to check my mouth if chair raised slightly. In response to reply from dental practice I accept and agree with their cancellation policy but it doesn't address the problems I raised if patient who has a known health problem is ill on day of appointment which, in my case, can happen regularly.
Unfortunately, the practice has to enforce a very strict non-attendance policy for missed appointments. Every time an appointment is missed or cancelled on short notice (SNC), this wastes valuable clinical time which could be used to see another patient. We have many instances where a patient calls with pain and we have to inform them that we have no appointments. If someone misses or SNC an appointment then this time could have been used to see the patient in pain. Missed and SNC appointments do not only have the affect of wasted surgery time but also those who cannot access NHS services further along the chain. The NHS dental service the practice provides is already at a level where it is severely strained and missed appointments only adds to this. The practice has suffered an increase in missed appointments recently despite our efforts to also send courtesy reminders for appointments days in advance. On certain days we even call patients the day before to check they are attending and appointments are still missed.
As you mentioned in your review, you have multiple short notice cancellations. We have a record that reminder text messages for the appointments were also sent a few days prior to the appointments in case you needed to rearrange them to give you plenty of time. Our policy does state that: "If you fail to attend or cancel with less than 24hrs notice twice you will lose your NHS place at the practice."
The policy is noted in the practice on the notice board, the TV in reception and on the website: https://parkstreetdentalpractice.com/policies/
The policy is the same for every patient regardless if they have only been at the practice for a short time or a number of years. I am sure you can understand the difficult position this will place us under if we make an exception for one person and not another. We can then be accused for favouring certain people over others and that everyone is not treated the same.
I understand that this is likely not the response the patient was hoping for but I hope I have explained the reasoning for the way we manage this problem which is becoming more and more common for us.
Therefore we feel your review is unfair as you are asking us to make an exception for only you and not others by not following our universal policy.
We wish you all the best.
Fantastic experience: Friendly receptionist and Dr Matharu is very reassuring and makes you feel at ease. Great all round team and highly recommend Park Street Dental Practice
Fantastic experience: I have always attended Park Street Dental Practice since I was a child and was under the care of Mr Pillai and Shirley for many years. They are an amazing team and they now see my children, who are comfortable and happy to attend and we receive brilliant, informative and warm care from them both. My husband and I now see Mr Matharu, and receive equally great care too, he is always very friendly and professional. We received a great service from the whole team, from reception to the dentist chair. I feel confident that our family are receiving the best dental care. Thank you to all the team
Fantastic experience: Great dentist, always nice approach.
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience at Park Street. I see Mr Matharu, he's very kind and feel like I'm in good hands. Reception staff always really helpful and nice too. :)
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend enough - great Dental Practice and the team are lovely.
Fantastic experience: I saw the hygienist this morning both her and her assistant were really friendly and put me at ease. All the staff are really good, helpful and friendly.
Fantastic experience: My hygienist Harriet and her team are fabulous they have made so much difference to my teeth. My gums are healthy and my teeth are shiny thankyou so much for looking after me .
Fantastic experience: Myself and my family have been cared for by Park St dental practice for almost two decades, I have only praise for the service that the staff provide, warm, welcoming and empathetic care from professionals who we regard as friends.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. We hope to continue to provide you will the same service for years to come.
Fantastic experience: Very professional, friendly and helpful
Fantastic experience: Harriet and Emma was brilliant love my densit brilliant service best dentist I have been to
Fantastic experience: Dr Raj Badesha and his lovely assistant made me feel relaxed and well looked after. I've always had a fear of the dentist but definitely not frightening anymore. Thank you and see you in 6 months
Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly team with nice facilities. Helpful appointment reminders and no delays with check ups.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Fantastic experience: Dr Matharu is a fantastic dentist and all the staff are lovely.
Thank you for your kind comments!
Negative experience: I called today and I found the mature receptionist both rude and abrupt. She tried blaming the poor quality line but was able to answer all my questions perfectly fine. This is not the first time wither that I have experienced and had to endure her well below average customer service. On asking her if she was having a bad day and telling her I found her manner and tone rude, she retorted it was I being rude. A very defensive lady - AND I would say aggressive actually even nasty - an adjective I have never used to describe a receptionist ever! - She is clearly in the wrong role and certainly has no respect for customers. In contrast the Dentists and the Assistant Dentists have deep compassion and treat all my two children in a beautiful manner. I will now look for a new dentist opening nearby and move asap but not before I pass on my experiences in my surgery to their MP neighbour as customers and tax payers pay a lot of money and we should expect to be treated with compassion and respect.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you feel your experience has not been positive where as can be seen that we have an overall positive feedback response on our google reviews. As you have stated you intend to seek another dentist which you are more than welcome to do. However, you are welcome to keep any appointments you have with us. Please notify us if you do have any appointments and do not wish to attend.

Fantastic experience: Very professional service from start to finish. Thank you.
Thank you for your positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: I'm a very, very nervous patient. Dr Raj Badesha is brilliant at putting my nerves at ease. He's patient and understanding as are the dental nurses. Receptionists always happy to help and also understanding of my nervousness. My children are also coming to this practice too. I can't recommend this dental practice enough. It's welcoming, clean and everyone is professional.
Fantastic experience: This is a great practice. It has a really friendly atmosphere. I am a regular visitor to the hygienist. Harriet is absolutely brilliant, she is professional and caring. When I have been to other hygienists it can be quite painful, not with her. Also the dental nurse is really good aswell, you never feel as if your gagging, as the water never builds up at the back of your mouth. I actually don't dread going anymore. Thanks
We are glad you feel like you are in good hands. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Efficient service. My dentist (Mr B) was on time. In and out in fifteen minutes despite a thorough check up. Apt was on a Wednesday at 11.50 am so no over run from earlier morning apts. Quick check up and no problems! Very friendly service from reception and dental nurse too. Would recommend the practice as a private patient.
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Dr Raj Badesha and Emma enough for all their work, they are professional, caring and explain everything that’s going to happen making the experience of going to the dentist not a daunting one… By far the best dentist and assistant I have had. Highly recommend.
Thanks for your feedback about Dr Badesha and Emma!
Fantastic experience: Very understanding
Fantastic experience: Got my braces off last week and came in the other day and done a fantastic job with my teeth, really polite and helpful 1000% would recommend going here if you need any dental treatment or just a check up!!!
Fantastic experience: Great practice, first time coming back after the refurb, and looks amazing! Friendly staff and kind dentist.
Thank for commenting on the refurbishment. Its been in planning for a long time and despite a few hiccups along the way we are glad its been worth it.
Fantastic experience: Jag and his team are fantastic. They really listen to their patients and look after them. I had an ongoing pain in my tooth and Jag sorted it out for me. I didn’t have to wait long for an appointment.
Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Harriet was very professional, thorough yet gentle, highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is helpful, patient and welcoming. Excellent throughout. Also the new updates to the practice are great
Fantastic experience: Excellent as always. Appointment bang on time and great service!
Fantastic experience: Had my first appointment today at this practice, I felt at ease for the first time while sat in the chair, brilliant dentist. Had my second appointment today with Dr badesha, I cannot praise him and the dental nurse enough, had 2 fillings without an ounce of discomfort, they actually talk to you giving you reassurance, and telling you what they are doing. Thank you very much.
Negative experience: I’d actually give the dentist 0/5. My 11 year old is in pain and it was in the dentists gift to sort. Due to a mix up and no reminder of appointment the dentist had refused to see my son. We now have to find another dentist while he handles the pain. Extremely dismayed with the practise and the inconsiderate nature of the dentist in practise. Will certainly not recommend anyone to the practise.
Thank you for your feedback. The missed appointment policy is clearly displayed on our website and states as follows: "New patients who fail to attend their first appointment or cancel it at short notice, will no longer been seen at this practice as NHS patients". There was failure to attend the new patient appointment on 2 occasions. In addition the text reminded policy on the website also states: "Text reminders are available for recall appointments on request. All text messages sent by our system are logged when successfully sent. It is your responsibility to check your text messages and to ensure that we are informed of any changes to your mobile number. We will assume that you have received your reminder if it has been logged as successfully sent. Please note, text messages are sent out of courtesy, not necessity. It is your responsibility to turn up on time for an appointment. Failure of the text messaging system for any reason is not sufficient reason for failing to attend or turning up too late for treatment".
Considering there has not been any attendance at the practice for an appointment then we not sure how you can leave a review.
We wish you all the best with your future dental care.
Fantastic experience: Dr Matharu is very professional and explains what he is doing as he goes along with treatment. He is extremely kind and reassuring, making sure you are at ease. His assistant and the receptionists are really friendly and helpful. This was my first experience at this practice and I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: It's the first time I have ever felt at ease and comfortable in any dental surgery right from the staff in reception and the appointment itself. Dr Krishna Pillai has a lovely manner about him and took the time to explain everything to me throughout my appointment to help me in the long run. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Great dentist and friendly staff also.
Fantastic experience: The best dentist practice around with the nicest dentists! Everyone is so friendly, organised, professional, nothing is too much trouble.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant! Welcoming, friendly and a wonderful service
Fantastic experience: I’m new to the practice and have seen Dr Jag for my check up and Harriet for tooth cleaning. Both have been super lovely and really inviting, I really appreciated the level of detail put into both appointments and time taken to explain things or to answer my questions. All experiences I’ve had so far have been very positive, the receptionists have also been very patient with communicating while I’ve been on placement and can’t get to the phone! So thank you all very much!
Fantastic experience: Dr Pillai and Shell (dental nurse) are just a fabulous caring team. They reassure you right from a big smile greeting and go the extra mile to ensure your treatment is tailor made to each patient. Painless and so gentle. My wife and I cannot sing their praises enough. Teresa & Bill

Staff are very friendly and even give a phone call as a reminder of the appointment. Parking is very easy too, free at Morrison's if you are doing some shopping. Otherwise I park in the car park across the road and its £1 for 2 hours. 5 Star treatment all the way!

I felt no pain through the process and was talked through every step. They are such a friendly team who I can trust 100 percent.I feel extremely lucky to have my dentist and assistant. They care so much about there patients and go way over and beyond what is required. I would highly recommend to anyone.
