South Park Dental Practice: Reviews
Fantastic experience: First class service for admin, dental care and hygienist.
Negative experience: Very disappointed Dr Barnfather did not mention he was leaving. Very poor. Have been with the practice over 50 years so expected better.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear of your disappointment and fully understand how unsettling it can be when a long standing clinician leaves the practice.
We did inform patients of Dr Barnfather’s departure in advance via written communication, including emails and letters, but we appreciate this may not have reached everyone in the way intended.
We are very grateful for your loyalty to the practice over so many years and are committed to ensuring that all patients continue to receive high quality, attentive care. Our team remains available to support you and we would be happy to discuss your ongoing care and introduce your new dentist if that would be helpful
Negative experience: I wouldn’t really award any stars whatsoever. They completely overcharge patients and suggest treatments that are not necessarily needed. I’ve noticed there’s a high turnover of staff. The best interests of patients is definitely not at the heart of how this business operates. Avoid this practice and find one that cares about their patients and staff.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that this was your perception of the practice.
All treatment recommendations are made based on clinical need and discussed with patients before proceeding. We take concerns about costs, transparency, and continuity of care seriously and would encourage you to contact the practice directly so we can look into this properly.

Negative experience: Have been a patient since 1988 - this is sadly not the practice is used to be.

Fantastic experience: South Park Dental Practice is a lovely practice. From the reception staff to the hygienists and dentists, they are all extremely friendly and helpful. My dentist, Mr Barnfather, in particular, is so very kind and explains everything he is doing when giving me treatment and why the treatment needs to be carried out. For someone who has always been a very nervous patient, this means a lot. I used to be terrified of going to the dentist but now it doesn't bother me. Not saying I don't still get nervous once in the chair, but I know I will be fine. They are always there for you too in an emergency and will try and fit you in as soon as possible. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

My daughter and my grandchildren are all patients of this practice. My daughter introduced me to South Park when I moved to Harrogate in 2009 and I can relax knowing I am in safe hands. Thank you South Park Dental Practice.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this practice for over 50 years now and have never been anywhere else. Since I moved from Harrogate I have continued going to this practice rather than changing to one nearer to my home.

I am editing my post to add that I recently had a visit to the hygienist and found her advice very helpful indeed.

Fantastic experience: South Park Dental and Dr Barnfather have been looking after my family for many years. They are consistently excellent. In a lifetime of going to dentists Dr Barnfather is comfortably the best I've ever been to!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic treatments and service. Best ever! Mr Barnfather is the most superb dentist and explains everything well. He is super calm and friendly and a brilliantly talented Dentist. He also is ahead with great preventative care also and informs us of everything he is going to do and incredibly knowledgeable of the latest technology and treatments. From emergencies to regular treatment it really is the best dental practice! Lovely immaculate surgery and everyone from receptionists, dental nurses etc are so kind, patient, friendly. My family have been coming for years We highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great dental practice, very professional and friendly
Fantastic experience: Welcome, service and care is consistently great and Mr Barnfather would probably win the best dentist award whenever he chose to enter - an exemplary professional all the time. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: Thankfully I have had very few emergencies with my mouth but when I did have it was seen and dealt with quickly and I was soon back to normal. My dentist and all the staff at the practice are professional and friendly. I have no qualms when my appointments arrive. Well done
Fantastic experience: We have always been extremely happy with all aspects of the treatment we have received over 23 years with South Park Dental practice.
Fantastic experience: The practice was recommended to me by my partner who had nothing but praise for them and in particular Kit Barnfather. I hadn't been to a dentist for 5 years following a nasty experience at my previous dentists and due to the shut down during the pandemic plus lack of NHS dentistry. I was extremely nervous when I made an appointment here however, everyone was so friendly, understanding and kind I was made to feel at ease. Kit was very gentle and explained everything he was doing, reassuring me throughout and giving me the opportunity to stop at any time but this wasn't necessary as even though I've needed 4 appointments to restore my teeth, the procedures have been totally pain free. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: This dental practice is excellent. I have been coming here for a number of years. All the staff are really friendly. They look after you well and give advice where needed. The monthly plan works well for me, giving me two inspections and hygienist appointments each year at an affordable price. Thank you South Park Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: Having been a patient at the practice for many years I have always found the treatment and care I have received from all the team to be second to none. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed offering a warm reassuring smile when needed.
Fantastic experience: Superb professionals. And what a brilliant chair - just the right lumbar support for an old 'un! Just miss the magazines and papers (thanks Covid!) All practices should be as patient-centred as this
Fantastic experience: Have been with South Park for around 17 years. Always friendly and welcoming. Recently had a crown for a broken molar. All handled extremely efficiently and as pain free as possible. I have a dental plan with the practice, which includes 2 dentist & 2 hygienist visits a year. I find the monthly payments extremely reasonable.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient here for 20 years and had nothing but exceptional service from reception, hygienist, Kitt Barnfather, & his lovely assistants. Starting out as a very nervous patient due to bad experience previously I was totally put at ease and now don’t even think about booking an appointment! Well done team
Fantastic experience: A very friendly and professional service is provided at this practice
Fantastic experience: Sanjay and team have been absolutely fantastic! Before my invisalign journey I was scared of dentists and never smiled. The care and patience I received from South Park was outstanding. Sanjay really cares about his patients and really listens to you. Invisalign had been live changing for me I feel more confident and I now smile! Feel very lucky that I found this practise for my journey could not recommend them more.
