Ecclesall Dental Care: Reviews
Negative experience: I have been a NHS patient with this practice since 1984 when Mr Collins senior ran it , then his son Stephen took over and my dental care was faultless. I was disappointed when he retired but was prepared to try the new dentist. I have never been anxious visiting the dentist till they took over. I have paid expensive bills with unresolved issues needing other dental practices to sort them out. I was so disappointed and felt that when ever I opened my mouth they saw pound signs not what was best for me. I no longer receive treatment at this practice and have found a dentist who looks after me not their bank balance.
Fantastic experience: Saja, and her dental nurse were brilliant, excellent treatment, very considerate and caring, explaining everything that was being done. Very gentle touch, don’t think anyone enjoys a visit to the dentist, but treatment like this makes a big difference, Thanks very much.
Fantastic experience: Genuinely the loveliest dental clinic- really put me at ease with my autism and dental anxiety and were so understanding, accessible and helpful. Would give ten stars if I could.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Saja for the excellent treatment and kindness today.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this dentist since I was five years old, now I’m 33 and every time I’ve been to have my teeth done, they’ve done a really good job, I would highly recommend Dr Henan to any of my family and friends, he’s done such a good job to my tooth x
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentists. Really friendly staff and appointments are not rushed, taking time to get to know patients and put them at ease. Brilliant with my little boy.
Fantastic experience: Very clean , very good service helpful dentist and staff.
Fantastic experience: I had a complicated procedure - surgery. It was an excellent experience. Very well done and explained pre and during the procedure. Raad and Georgia professional and skilled. Fully recommend.
Fantastic experience: Amazing dentists would highly recommend, terrific staff, very friendly and efficient
Fantastic experience: Mahisa was my dentist for my last 2 visits. I hadn't been to the dentist since lockdown.Needless to say I was very nervous. However, there was no need Mahisa and her dental nurse were brilliant. Relaxing, professional. Highly recommended. Cx
Fantastic experience: Outstanding service from the team at Ecclesall Dental Care, all the staff were super friendly and helpful. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: I hadn’t been to the dentist in quite some time, so I was nervous—and a bit embarrassed about the state of my teeth. From the moment I arrived, I was put at ease. The team listened to my concerns, treated me with kindness, and we worked out a clear treatment plan I can follow. Every member of staff was fantastic. I’d highly recommend booking an appointment, no matter what condition your teeth are in.
Fantastic experience: I have just had a check up with Mahisa. Absolutely fantastic. First time I’ve had an Xray there without it being uncomfortable. She really thorough , kind & explained everything that was happening.
Fantastic experience: Mahisa spoke with kindness to our children and they actually look forward to seeing the dentist!
Fantastic experience: Yussaf Mousa , the dental surgeon, was incredibly kind, informative and professional. He made the very stressful tooth extraction experience bearable! Fantastic "bedside" manner and very skilled in his field! Thank you
Fantastic experience: I had an appointment with Mahisa today. It was a lovely experience with her. She had a very gentle manner and her approach put me at ease. She wasn’t rushed at all. I felt she did a thorough job too with the time I had with her. Publicly saying thank you, Mahisa.
Negative experience: The dentist was very rough. 2 days later I lost part of the top of a lower incisor. May just be coincidence but he lifted my head off the seat while scraping at the back of my teeth during a check-up. I've been with the practice since 2009. I'm not going back if it means that chap is in the driving seat. No no no!!!
Fantastic experience: I've been an NHS patient at Ecclesall Dental since they took it over from Collins and Ball, and now have Saja as my regular dentist. Today she extracted a tooth and although it isn't a nice experience, Saja was kind and professional, and did a really good job. The anaesthetic injections were relatively painfree, and I felt reassured throughout the procedure. I've also been pleased with how I've been treated, and felt like the receptionist team did their best to get me seen as quickly as they could.
Fantastic experience: My wife recently had an extraction and she can honestly say it was better than having a check up or even a filling - the whole experience was excellent
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional. The young lady who works on the front desk is always polite and professional. She started when the new people tuck over from Steve . She always finds solutions to problems like emergency appointments . I forgot to book an appointment for 2 weeks after my antibiotics to have root canel and was quite frustrated that I was going to have to wait another month . Within 20 minutes she had rebooked me in with another dentist that had availability. They always explain things really well and supply options for treatments. A fantastic nhs dentist surgery
Fantastic experience: Nervous about new 'regime', after change of ownership, but absolutely brilliant experience with dentist Mel Needham and her assistant. Everything was fully explained & extremely gently carried out and regular checks on my comfort. I cannot praise them enough & won't worry when my next appointment is due. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: Yousseff was amazing and made me feel so at ease and comfortable. Very professional service from start to finish
Fantastic experience: I was very happy with my visit for a tooth extraction. Raj very caring and patient. His assistant was also very good Thank you for your care today.
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous for my procedure and I was treated respectfully, kindly and compassionately. The procedure went smoothly - with good, calm, clear explanations. Everyone you meet at the surgery is incredibly professional and caring.
Fantastic experience: I had a lovely experience with Saja today at ecclesall dental clinic. She made sure to listen to my requirements and address all my concerns.She dealt professionally with my case and made sure to explain every step she took which put me at ease. I felt no pain during her work and left the clinic with a lovely white smile.I highly recommend Saja if you have any teeth issues. Thank you Saja
Fantastic experience: Mahisa made my experience as pleasant as possible. She was very friendly and extremely professional. The work she did is of an excellent standard.
Fantastic experience: Raj and Georgia were fantastic! Was running late down to snow and they were so lovely about it and waited for me which I really appreciate.
Fantastic experience: Just back from the dentist, feel so good! It started with meeting Mahisa. She listened to me and checked around the area I was concerned about. She gave me reassurance that the situation was manageable and completed the inspection of my mouth, explaining in simple terms what my problems were and how to rectify them. I warmed to her immediately. She referred me to the hygienist. At reception I was informed that there was a slot in 15 mins time to see the hygienist so I took it. Minutes later I was with Mel and Nicola. I have never been to a hygienist before as my former dentist used to do a clean and polish during the inspection. Mel explained the process and took time to clean up my mouth, aided by Nicola. She gave me lots of advice. My teeth look and feel fantastic. Am very pleased and will continue to use this service. Thank you all.
Fantastic experience: I saw Mr Hemraj Luniya for a tooth extraction and a clean this week late in the day, although I was very nervous he was very professional along with his assistant and although having a molar tooth removed is not my favourite pastime it went like clockwork, I was a bit Dizzy afterwards and they both made me feel comfortable and reassured and gave me some glucose and made me sit up slowly before I felt well enough to drive home. After few hours of bleeding it soon stopped with there instructions of what to do regarding a swab etc… After a good nights sleep, next day to my surprise I feel no pain whatsoever and needed no pain killers. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: Great service, friendly staff, can’t recommend them enough
Fantastic experience: This was the first time i have used Raj and i had a complicated extraction so i was a little nervous. There was no need as Raj put me at my ease. We discussed various options where he explained what he needed to do and why. The actual procedure went smoothly with little discomfort. Raj is very personable and gave me full confidence through out the procedure. My recovery is going well. I would highly recommend Raj.
Fantastic experience: Was sad to see it under new management however, having had my app with Raj I can quite frankly say it was the most swift and extensive check up I’ve ever had. Incredibly thorough which is what I need given my family’s background with dental issues. Great peace of mind and very informative and highly recommend to all. My whole family is registered here and never had we had any issues and I assume under the new management and today’s experience that will continue if not exceed expectations. Great work! Thank you
Fantastic experience: I’m a very nervous patient after very invasive treatment in the 70’s. The team were amazing and sorted out my broken tooth in a jiffy using pain free non evasive techniques! I’ll never be scared of the dentist again! Clare S11.
Fantastic experience: Always a nervous patient. Lady who treated me today was excellent, listened and explained options clearly. Highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Just had a really good experience here today. My dentist was Raj. All staff so friendly.
Fantastic experience: Was a little sad after Stephen suddenly left this practice after Covid. He'd been a wonderful dentist for so many years! However I'm very happy with Dragan and his staff who have taken over Plus Mel is still the Hygienist which is an added bonus. Definitely would recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: I have had a real fear of dentists since a child and Dragon has been so kind and patient with me I highly recommend him to everyone
Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Youssef three times (1)dental inspection (2)preparation for treatment (3)treatment. At the first meeting I felt an immediate rapport with Youssef, which has continued.I feel very confident about my visits to the dentist. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment .
Fantastic experience: I want to give a huge shout out for Youssef, who looked after my son absolutely brilliantly. He went above-and-beyond in arranging and delivering treatment for my son, putting in extra time and effort that the NHS will not have paid him for. He is incredibly professional and was also very good at putting my son at ease when he was feeling anxious. Thank you, Youssef!
Positive experience: I was offered a prompt additional emergency appointment & was provided with a prescription at no additional charge (as seen previous day). Good service. I am however a little concerned that a follow up appointment within required time frame for treatment was not available. I'm awaiting a call back from practice to see what might be possible.
Positive experience: Very happy with my appointment today. Check up identified need for fillings and treatment plan agreed. I appreciate the dental care provided by Dragan and the team. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Dragen and Georgia today. They both put my children at ease and were quick but efficient. Dragen explained my treatment well and was honest and upfront about the cost involved if I were to proceed. The receptionist was also great.
Fantastic experience: Welcoming receptionist, Dragan and Georgia were very friendly. Would recommend them
Fantastic experience: This practice has recently become part of a larger group. At first I was a little concerned that the one on one service would deteriorate however I can honestly say that the dentist I saw today was excellent. She had clearly read my notes and asked me several questions about my ill- health conditions, which require medication. She then gave me the most thorough examination I have ever experienced. I left the room extremely impressed and would highly recommend this practice. No one "enjoys" the dentist but this was a very competent and helpful woman, who put me completely at ease. Both she and her assistant were smiling and friendly and answered questions freely. Finally a good word for the young lady on reception; she is another helpful and efficient person. All in all a 5 star service.
Fantastic experience: My visit went smoothly. Melisha welcomed me with a smile and gave me the Ipad to fill in my medical records when I arrived. Knowing that I had this to do I arrived slightly early . Next I was taken through to see Youssef who was also friendly and gave a warm welcome. For by checking my teeth he also drew attention to a problem I have with a scab on my forehead,taking photos and informing my local surgery because it was protruding more than it should . Going beyond the remit of his job shows that this surgery cares for their patients. After thanking Yourself and his dental assistant I was then shown upstairs to Mel's surgery to have a couple of fillings replaced. As always a warm welcome and efficient service. The staff are all friendly and efficient, from the point of entry right through to your exit you will find an excellent experience.
Fantastic experience: Ecclesall dental care, really good service well looked after. Staff very polite and professional. My dentist Dragan, was great. Talked me through the whole process. In safe hands and felt reassured and confident that everything was being done in my best interest. We all know how anxiety can take over when we go to the dentist but very happy with the service!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at Ecclesal dental care. The clinic was clean and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Dentist Mr Radd Abdulhamed took the time to explain my treatment options and dental assistant Georgia made sure I was comfortable and reassured me throughout the procedure. The wait time was minimal, and I appreciated the follow-up care instructions. I highly recommend this dental practice to anyone looking for quality care!"
Fantastic experience: Very friendly, I felt very comfortable in their hands. Had a great chat! Provided me with some dental advise to help take care :)
Fantastic experience: I wanted to say how happy I have been with my recent NHS dental care. It was quick, efficient caring and painless. Excellent card from Saja and Nat .
Fantastic experience: A truly great dental practice. Mel is just the best! She always puts me at ease, plus her work is rigorous and high quality. The former practice owner Stephen Collins was awesome too, and we were sorry to see him go. But now the practice is headed up by a guy called Dragon (!) which is pretty damn cool. He's super nice too. The assistants are great, all smiles, no scowls. Plus there's free toothpastes. Pow!
Fantastic experience: First appointment for a check up today with Saja. I told her I was a nervous patient and she soon put me at ease. She explained all the checks as she carried them out, such as jaw, mouth, gum and glands before looking at my teeth. She was gentle and cleaned my bottom teeth painlessly with an aqua jet and then gave me advice on cleaning to avoid plaque build up. Saja was professional, kind and gentle - everything you would want from a good dentist. Thank you, Saja!
Fantastic experience: She made me feel so at ease after being such a nervous patient for so long… I feel more comfortable about coming back and dealt with my front tooth filling quickly - you can’t even see it’s been done!
Fantastic experience: All went very well with my apointment. Staff are very professional and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dental care provided by my dentist, Raad Abdulhamed, Eccleshall Dental Care, yesterday ....(and his dental assistant ...plus friendly and helpful receptionists ). He put me at ease and treated me with a new front tooth filling ...I couldn't believe it as no injection was given and it was completely painless...the result being a healthy tooth and cosmetically perfect !! Moira ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic experience: Dr.Saja is perfect and the clinic is always clean, and the staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Saja has a gentle touch and a calm demeanor that puts me at ease, even during more complex procedures. They take the time to explain everything and answer all my questions, ensuring I'm comfortable and informed. I've never had a better dental experience. If you're looking for a top-notch dentist, look no further than Dr.Saja.
Fantastic experience: This was my first appointment with Saja. She had a friendly manner & made me feel very at ease. She was well informed & discussed all options for further treatment. I would recommend her.
Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment with Saja today for a check up (after 22 years with Mr Collins as my dentist). I have dental anxiety but Saja was so kind and understanding that she put me totally at ease. She also gave me some really helpful toothbrushing tips. She was brilliant and I would highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Prompt, excellent treatment delivered very professionally but in a friendly way. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Had another fabulous experience. My dentist Raad, his assistant Caitlin, both looked after me attentively with enormous care. Malisha who received me at the practice was friendly, helpful & kind. Brilliant dental practice!
Fantastic experience: Friendly and efficient staff; very pleasant and professional with nice sense of humour throughout.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant work on a tricky procedure. Both dentist and the nurse were excellent throughout. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Excellent service as always from the Hygienists, Mel and Le'anne. It's reassuring to get such a thorough teeth-clean and to know that the Hygienist team are so knowledgeable. They're also able to provide excellent advice on treatments. Very highly recommended and really appreciate their work.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with our dental practice. I’ve been really impressed by Aleena’s knowledge and skills. She’s also really good with the kids, explaining things and helping them to feel at ease. My son recently chipped his tooth and they were able to fit us in for an appointment the same day. Thank you to all the staff
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Mel, assisted by Georgia , who made me feel very much at ease whilst doing a great clean & polish. Very professional and friendly service and will definitely return.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist who take care of you Chris Allen
Fantastic experience: I had not been to the dentist for years I was terrified and hated my smile saja was amazing patient calm and so caring , my smile is looking amazing all thanks to her , she has changed my life with the work she has done can't recommend her enough amazing lady and dentist
Positive experience: Much improved compared to 12 months ago. Now back to the high standard this practice has always offered. Professional, courteous, articulate and friendly. Treatment was good, thorough and mindful of the unavoidable, minor discomfort caused. Impressed.
Fantastic experience: I have always felt anxious about visits to the dentist but Saja immediately put me at ease. She was very friendly and so gentle and patient, constantly checking that I was ok throughout the procedure. Absolutely 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: Very nice dental surgery. Georgia and Raad did a great job with the filling today. Quick and painless.
Fantastic experience: Had a very positive visit today. Everyone was super friendly and professional
Fantastic experience: Great dentist and all really friendly staff that make you feel at ease
Fantastic experience: No NHS dentist here for some time. Now there is a new NHS dentist who is very pleasant and efficient.
Fantastic experience: Excellent all round. Great advice and trouble free treatment.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic care by Mel (Hygienist) as usual. Receptionist friendly & efficient. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: I always feel welcome and a valued client of Ecclesall Dental Practice (previously Collins and Ball). They have some new staff who are as friendly and professional

Positive experience: The reception staff and dental nurses are always friendly; greeted with a smile and patience! My experience with dentist Raad Abdulhamed has been a mixed one and I hope he will continue to adapt to improve the patient experience as going to the dentist can be daunting for most I imagine. I am a particularly nervous patient and Raad’s quite quick and to the point approach in my first appointment was not the best for calming my nerves. However, he did explain all available options to me with regards to the wisdom tooth extraction I would need and I booked in for the following week. I did advise him during this appointment that I was very nervous and find the dentist very stressful. The following week when going in for my extraction, it was like I was being seen by another dentist. Raad explained what was about to happen very clearly, I did not feel rushed and the dental staff with him were also very reassuring. I felt confident with him completing the extraction, even though still very nervous. I left the dentist that day feeling more comfortable seeing him again for my check-up in 6 months time. Whilst for now my review is 4 * given my slightly shaky start… if the more considered approach remains when I see Raad again, then I will give the full 5*. All I say is patience, kindness and compassion can make a visit to the dentist a much more pleasant experience.
Dear Emma, Thank you for your increasing your star review to 4 and your honest feedback.
I have forwarded your feedback to the practice team who will very much appreciate your comments. We will look forward seeing you for your next appointment to see if we can get the 5 stars :)

Negative experience: Really dissatisfied with the service I received. I had to book in privately due to ongoing NHS shortages and long waiting lists. I was told on the phone the check up would be £55 and included two x-rays. During my appointment I was told that I needed a third due to an impacted wisdom tooth. However, it wasn’t properly explained as to why this wasn’t covered in the two x-rays already outlined. He then proceeded to outline a list of additional charges including a clean which would come to £130. The dentist was curt and lacked any bedside manner and I felt pressured and rushed to accept those costs there and then. What’s worse, the dentist was extremely rough and the whole process was painful ( despite me highlighting it was uncomfortable and him continuing regardless). I know a trip to the dentist isn’t always a pleasant experience but I’ve never had an experience like this before. I agree with other reviews that it feels like this practice is operating as a business and not with patients best interests at heart. Particularly private patients who they seem to view as cash cows. To add insult to injury, the dentist then tried hard to flog me cosmetic alignment treatment. So I came away with both a sore mouth and poor self confidence about my teeth — what a horrible experience!
We are very sorry to receive your 1-star review and would very much appreciate your further feedback. If you could please call the practice and ask to speak with the Practice Manager to discuss these concerns.

Fantastic experience: Just attended ecclesall dental care and all I can say is that it was fantastic! I saw Aleena for a checkup and impressions, she was very well in explaining the process and everything I needed to do with improving my brushing. Lovely staff and an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend.
Thankyou for your 5 star review. We will pass your feedback to Aleena and the Team. Regards, Ecclesall Dental Care
Negative experience: I have been going to this practice for over 20+ years and unfortunately had a very bad experience on my recent visit since it’s changed hands. The dentist started the check by muttering ‘christ’ as they looked round my mouth, followed by ‘you’re not going to be my friend after this’. After telling me I needed several fillings and an extraction they lent against the wall shaking their head and said ‘Losing a tooth at your age. I would be very upset if I was you’. Reflecting back it seems like a comedy sketch due to the sheer lack of empathy and how they communicated. Regardless of what is needed done, there are far more professional ways of working with patients and I hope this feedback is taken onboard.
We are very sorry to receive your 1-star review and would very much appreciate your further feedback. If you could please call the practice and ask to speak with the Practice Manager to discuss these concerns.

Fantastic experience: Mel, the hygienist. Very professional. Best Ive had to be honest
Thankyou for your 5 star Review
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Ecclesall Dental Care for a check up, I must say I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews but wanted to review my experience of the practice as I feel we are generally quick to write about negative experiences but not so much about our positive. My appointment had been moved a couple of times due to issues with recruitment of NHS dentist which is understandable as this is currently an issue all over the UK so I tried to not give the reception a hard time. I was met by a friendly receptionist who asked me to fill in a few forms prior to going through to the dentist, I was pleased to see these were done on tablets rather than paper, they seemed to be with moving with the times and conscious of the environment in regards to paper. I was offered help if I had any issues. I was met by Raad who introduced himself and his nurse which was great as it was the first dental visit I’d had with him. My appointment wasn’t rushed, I had x-rays which were throughly explained and gone though with me at the computer, I was given several options, what he as a clinician advised, risks and benefits of all options. I feel my experience overall was as pleasant as a dental visit can be. I appreciate all the hard work of dental professionals working in the NHS in these difficult times and I would recommend the practice to friends and family.
We are happy to hear your treatment went well. Thank you for your 5-star review and recommendation.
Kind Regards

Negative experience: My goodness, how a place can change and NOT for the better. A 5 minute appointment costing nearly £26 - an absolute cash-cow for the new owners. I question the dentist’s competence and he was difficult to understand, and quite rough. It seems to me that it is a ‘get them in, quick look, and book an appointment with the hygienist’ is the default procedure at this place. This is the second time I’ve been (with the new owners) and I wasn’t impressed the first time, but I thought it was because they’d just taken over (again - in, rushed, £25, see hygienist, take money, bye). Gone are the fabulous days with Stephen who showed an interest and took his time. Will be looking for a new dentist asap. PLEASE IGNORE MY COMMENT BELOW FROM 4 YEARS AGO. Stephen is a real character and extremely professional at the same time. He explains procedures so clearly and completes them with absolute competence. A very caring place who offer necessary treatment (unlike the dental practice I left) and are not there to ‘rip you off’. I can actually say it is a pleasure to visit!! Thank you all.
We are very sorry to receive your 1 star review.
Putting our patients’ interests first is extremely important to us and we aim to meet our patients’ expectations. I am sorry that you didn’t have the best experience with us. As your identity is unknown I would value a personal conversation with you to fully understand the issues you have raised
Thank you,

Fantastic experience: Always great service and care from the whole team. Very professional and puts my nerves at ease. Would 100% recommend.
Thankyou for your 5* review !
Fantastic experience: Had check up appointment for me and my 2 children this afternoon. Both children were feeling slightly nervous but Riz was fabulous and put them at ease straight away with a sense of humour that made the appointment very easy! Came away feeling very confident in the treatment we’d all received and clear to see how knowledgeable Riz is with next steps planned Would definitely recommend
Thankyou for your 5 star review. We are happy to hear your appointment went well. We will pass your review to the Team.

Negative experience: I am very disappointed by my first visit to what was Collins & Ball dental practice which has now changed hands. Within seconds of being there I was told I needed X-rays, which is obvs an acceptable request, which I agreed too. After a few minutes, the dentist proceeded to tell me I wasn’t going to like what I was going to be told but I needed 8 fillings!!!!! My teeth are by no means perfect, but I have been coming to the dentist every year, and up until now, not had many problems since I had a lot of teeth repaired around 10 years ago- I also had X-rays only a year ago with no issues. I did comment that I wouldn’t have been surprised if I needed a few but certainly not 8! I was also told, that I would be even more disappointed to know that the NHS do not do white fillings, which I have, and that I would have to pay if I wanted white fillings and that service would then be a private fee. It all felt very much like a hard sell, totally impersonal and the whole thing was done and dusted in minutes! I think I had my mouth open for a few minutes while she shaved a cracked tooth down. I then went to the receptionist, and was given a list of all the costs for the work that needed doing and asked to sign the document, which I didn’t. I will be seeking a second opinion on this and also moving my children from the practice.
We are very sorry to receive your 1 star review. If you would like to discuss further please contact the practice to speak to the practice manager.
Negative experience: Avoid if you’re expecting the wonderful care you received from Collins & Ball, my first visit was an awful experience by a dentist called Raad, it felt forceful and rushed , I unfortunately gave them a second chance 6 months later with a different dentist, however I was kept waiting for over 20 mins and then when I went in to my surprise the check up took 5 mins and then I was asked to make another appointment for a polish and clean with THEIR dental hygienist , this meant I was paying more money because it bounced me up to Band 3, if that appointment had been with Collins or Ball it would have been done that day so I would agree with review that it is now run as a business.
We are sorry to recieve your 1* review, however we are unable to find you as a patient at this practice. If you wish to discuss this matter please contact or email the practice and ask to speak to the practice manager about your experience.
Positive experience: Having been a patient of Stephen Collins for about 30 years I was extremely nervous, but having now been treated by Aleena I feel completely reassured. Unfortunately my husband was allocated to another dentist in the practice and hasn't been able to even get a checkup yet
Thankyou for your review ! Aleena Is an assett to us and I'm very happy you've had a good experience with her. If your husband rings the practice up we will be able to allocate him to Aleena to keep continuity with you both.

Negative experience: Avoid at all costs. Used to be brilliant, but after Steve Collins retired, it's been taken over by total incomptents. Impossible to contact them, if you somehow manage to get an appointment they send you a letter telling you they've had to cancel it and you have to get in touch to make another (this has happened to me over and over again). Saw a dentist there who didn't give me a chance to actually explain what was wrong and why I'd come in - looked at my teeth in the most cursory way and didn't even see the problem, then without a word of warning suddenly started drilling at the back of my front teeth with an assistant spraying water in my mouth, I nearly choked. Terrible.
We are sorry to recieve your 1* review, however we are unable to find you as a patient at this practice. If you wish to discuss this matter please contact or email the practice and ask to speak to the practice manager about your experience.
Positive experience: Always had excellent service throughout the years . When I had a problem it was dealt with there and then . Had a recent appointment, felt the dentist looked was very rand didn't understand my problem . Had x-ray before but found this painful why ?? Had to book an appointment felt this dentist didn't take time and would take more time on priv6 work
Dear Jackie, Thankyou for your review. To take x-rays we have to use x-ray holders, depending on which area the dentist is treating the holders can be a little uncomfortable, we are sorry if this was the case. Please contact the practice to speak to the manager to discuss anything further.
Positive experience: Changed management as Stephen has retired. Of course I expect changes when this happens, however a few unwelcome changes are: The check up was rushed, I could not understand the dentist sometimes because he spoke so fast and with a mask, there is a lack of communication with the new dentists (they don't say if you need to brush more or less, or mention when you should come back for a check up). Overall, they do the job, but all of the positive aspects which made Collin and Ball a good dentist have left with Stephen l.
I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with our practice. I would recommend that you contact the practice and ask to speak to the practice manager about your experience.
Fantastic experience: Lovely professional practice. Had my first filling done by Dr Raad and Ashley, thank you both for a calm and positive experience.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Jennifer!
I am happy that your whole journey was a pleasant and comfortable experience.
Please do tell your friends and family about your experience with us as we grow through word of mouth.
Fantastic experience: Greeted by patient, knowledgeable and helpful reception staff. 'Ris' & 'Nicola' (Dentist & Nurse /Assistant) dealt with a pretty complicated task, with efficacy & good humour. Ris's skill in repairing the tooth is exceptional. I am grateful & very pleased to be a patient here. I don't often need Dental interventions, but am aware of the enormous difficulties people are having in being able to access Dentists. Great service. Thank you!
Thank you for the positive review!
I am very happy that you have taken the time to share your positive experience with us. I have forwarded this feedback to the team!

Fantastic experience: Just been to this lovely practice for dental impressions, very friendly staff and professional service. Raad was informative and left me feeling confident in my dental decisions. Highly recommend

Negative experience: Under new ownership so don’t be fooled by the older reviews that were given when the old dentists ran the practice. The new dentists appear to be running it purely for a business, no customer care and were so forceful when cleaning my teeth that I began to cry (they didn’t stop). Avoid at all costs. It’s clear they are only in it to make money. It’s a shame as this practice used to be excellent.
We are very sorry to receive your 1 star review.
Putting our patients’ interests first is extremely important to us and we aim to meet our patients’ expectations. I am sorry that you didn’t have the best experience with us.
I would value a personal conversation with you to fully understand the issues you have raised.
Thank you,

Fantastic experience: Raad removed the most difficult tooth ever. Assisted by Nurse Nicola he did a fantastic job. He was patient, kind and gave me an excellent anaesthetic. I felt no pain whatsoever and the tooth came out in one piece. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your amazing 5 star review! We really appreciate you sharing your recent experience from your recent visit. We are glad you felt comfortable every step of the way. I shall personally pass your great review onto Raad and Nicola.
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Kind regards
