The Redland Road Dental Practice: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience thanks to Christine at the reception, who was incredibly helpful and compassionate. She acted swiftly to arrange an urgent appointment for me. I’m especially grateful to Dr. Steve Thompson, who went above and beyond by coming in on his day off to see me again. His professionalism and dedication are truly commendable.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Iraklis - I'll make sure that both Christine and Steve see your review :)
Negative experience: I visited the clinic many years ago, but have just been reminded by a friend to leave a review to give a heads up to others. I came to the clinic for a root canal but the dentist performed the operation incorrectly and split my tooth in half, which resulted in the tooth needing to be removed by another dentist.
Hello Hannah,
I would firstly like to make sure that you have reviewed the right practice. There many dental practices in the area and some with similar names. Do you recall the name of the dental practitioner?
We always look to resolve problems when they occur, even if it may be several years ago. I will gladly look into this for you if you are happy to contact me to provide more details.
Best wishes,
Emma Taylor

Fantastic experience: No one looks forward to having to have a tooth removed due to an abscess, especially a molar and I must admit I wasn’t looking forward to it. However, thanks to the experience and expertise of Mark Gullis I needn’t have worried. Not only was the extraction painless, Mark also carried out the subsequent implant procedure, providing extensive technical consultation and reassurance thoughtout. I am delighted with the final result. Thank you Mark and Claire.
Thank you Mr Birkett, what a marvellous review. I’ll be sure to let Dave and Sarah know.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience at this practice. Friendly, professional and caring team. Thank you for all the care provided.
Thank you Irina.
Fantastic experience: I am a nervous dental patient and today I finally had to have some dental work done - a tooth extraction. I have been worrying about it for days but I have to say that Catherine handled me incredibly well, reassured me and told me only what I wanted to know (too much info can be a bad thing!). Once the numbing had taken effect she removed the tooth in a matter of a minute completely without any pain. They are friendly, accommodating and I would definitely recommend them. Thank you to Catherine and the team.
Thank you Freia - I'm so happy the appointment went well for you :)
Fantastic experience: My first visit to the practice was wonderful. I was seen by Dr Sonya Qureshi who completed a thorough examination and even offered to clean my teeth as she had extra time! I was quite nervous about the clean but Sonya was very communicative and took things slow and gentle. I’m so happy with my new shiny white teeth and wish I’d booked in sooner. Will definitely return and will recommend to friends/family. Thank you.
Thank you Courtney, I'm so pleased you had a good visit. I'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Sonya.
Fantastic experience: The friendliest and most helpful reception staff I’ve ever encountered, and my dentist (Dr Sonya Qureshi) was totally brilliant. Dentist was communicative about my treatment, explained everything to me clearly, was friendly and easy to talk to. I needed urgent dental work when visiting Bristol and these people sorted me out at short notice, I couldn’t be happier.
Thank you so much Saio!!!
Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment with Charlotte Bishop yesterday and i would like to say how nice and kind she is. she gave me and my mum lots of information on the next steps on my orthodontic treatment plan. Thank you for being thorough and caring. Rhys R.
Thank you Rhys, that’s so kind of you.
Fantastic experience: So delighted to now have best dentist ever Charlotte Bishop and best hygienist ever Adam Taylor both in same practice. So very happy! Just brilliant both of them :)
Thank you, Ingrid - so very kind :)
Fantastic experience: I have been with Redland rd dental practice for a couple of years now and I wish I’d had made the move years ago. Every member of staff makes me feel welcomed and valued whether in person or over the phone. Their professionalism is faultless and their care is 2nd to none! Uma Nair Davies (my dentist) has been realigning my teeth (a not so small task) and the results are literally life changing… I’m smiling more and enjoying doing more! I have even had people I barely know, comment how lovely my teeth are. I really can’t give enough praise to Uma and all the team who support her.
Thank you so much for your glowing review Eden - your feedback helps us greatly - we all appreciate your time, thank you :)
Fantastic experience: My hygienist session with Nina last week was the best I've ever had by a big margin. Definitely feeling the benefit. Thanks Nina.
Thank you so much, Mr Thomson - Nina will be very pleased.
Fantastic experience: Went to see the new hygienist today Nina Cipolla she was very friendly and helpful and showed me what parts i have been missing and techniques in cleaning to improve my gum health. She was kind and helpful and i would recommend her.
Thank you Dave, I'll be sure to pass this on to Nina :)
Fantastic experience: I have been with this practice for at least 5 years. Excellent dentists, hygienists and reception staff. My two sons also attend this practice. Good for all the family.
Many thanks, Sarah - we really appreciate your kind review.
Fantastic experience: Visiting the dentist was not on our to do list originally for our holiday, but in the event it was low stress, low discomfort and low pain. The end result, a white filling, also looked mighty fine. Thank you Sonya.
Thank you so much Keith. We really appreciate you taking the time :)
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient here for the last 12 years , and I would like to thank Uma Nair Davies for her complete professional approach and care that she has shown me throughout this time. The results of my teeth are absolutely wonderful and I have had many lovely compliments about them. Recently I had my front porcelain crowns fitted , and Uma guided me through from start to finish and the results are well above my expectations. Uma is a very caring soul and I always feel that she understands what it is that you want / need. I am always happy to be guided by her excellent advice and trust her without exception. Thank you so much for all your kindness !!!! Elena Edwards xx
Thank you so much for your generous review Elena - we really appreciate it :)
Fantastic experience: From first contact with the receptionist on the phone I got the feeling that this was a nice practice. I was right! The initial assessment with Steve Thompson my dentist was thorough and realistic. My treatment today was pain free and I got to relax. My visit to Adam Taylor was actually enjoyable! He was knowledgeable, gentle and kind. I am pleased to have found this practice after my previous dentist retired.
Thank you so much Catherine ☺️
Fantastic experience: Steve Thompson has changed my life. I have honestly never been so cared for since joining this practice. Thoroughly recommend.
Thank you so much, Dominic :)))
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Dr Nisha Nathwani for carrying out my smilelign treatment. She has been fantastic and I am so happy with my results ☺️
Thank you Alex :)
Fantastic experience: Ten out of ten! :)
Yes! Thank you Mr Denton :)
Fantastic experience: Amazing service! After struggling to get an emergency appointment with the NHS for over a week and suffering with so much pain. I was able to get an emergency appointment on the same day, just a day before my holiday to Cornwall. Sonia was brilliant, quickly found and fixed the problem. Most of all it was so smooth and pain free. Thank you for saving my holiday.
Thank you Anwar. I'm so pleased we could help.
Fantastic experience: The treatment here is exceptional. Very experienced, well qualified friendly staff make for a very good visit.
Thank you so much for your very kind words - we really appreciate it :)
Fantastic experience: How wonderful to know you take care of my whole family. We LOVE coming in each month.
Thank you :)
Fantastic experience: Hi, I just wanted to say thank you a lot for taking care of me yesterday as an emergency situation with one of my molar tooth, and very much appreciate the experience at your clinic since my arrival to the actual room were I was assistant by Harry and his nurse, very profesional both of them. Happy guess here for ever
Thank you Ismael. I hope you are now feeling more comfortable.
Fantastic experience: Always had fantastic treatment and service here and want to say a huge thanks to Harry for his amazing care he provided for my son's abscess yesterday. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your glowing review, Jon.
Fantastic experience: I have been with the Redland Road Dental Practice since I came to Bristol 48 years ago. In all this time I have had only three Dentists from the practice, all of whom have been superb, one being Katie Spalding. Katie is a fantastic Dentist with a careful and sympathetic bedside manner. I am demanding in my expectation of professionals, but this practice is the tops.
A glowing review! Many thanks Mr Curling.
Fantastic experience: Mr O'Bree has been my dentist since I first moved to Bristol over 20 years ago - he and his nursing assistant (Sarah) are both excellent - couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Thank you Mr Timbrell - that's very kind of you and I'll be sure to make sure both Sarah and David see you review :)
Fantastic experience: I'm not keen on going to the dentist and have just registered with Redland Road Dental Practice. Amanda, the receptionist was so helpful and put me at ease. I am actually looking forward to my first visit!
That's fantastic news Cate. Amanda has been with us for many years and is part of a brilliant support team at Redland. I hope you enjoy your visit :)
Fantastic experience: Steve Thompson and Vicky are a great dental team. They put me at my ease at what can be an 'exciting' time. Professional, relaxed, helpful and thoughtful. A good practice made even better by this excellent team.
Thank you for your glowing review Steve, I shall be sure to pass this on to Steve and Vicky :)
Fantastic experience: I can't speak too highly of this practice. My family have been patients here for about 30 years and have had excellent advice and treatment. Our dentist, Lorna, takes time to put people at their ease and to explain and discuss options. The whole team, dentists, nurses and reception are friendly and professional.
Thank you Susan :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. The practice went above and beyond to fit me in before Christmas, and I can't speak highly enough of the care provided by Catherine Spalding. She is so kind and thorough, and makes sure you are completely aware of what is happening and what to expect.
Thank you so much Anna, for this lovely review. I will be sure to let Catherine know - Happy New Year to you :)
Fantastic experience: Kind staff, excellent dentist. Thankyou
Thank you Justine :)
Fantastic experience: I came to Redland Road Dental Practice eight years ago with my teeth and gums in a poor state. With the excellent care of the team - especially from Steve Thompson and the hygienists - my dental health was transformed. It can be difficult to find a good dentist, but when you do, it makes a huge difference to quality of life. Highly recommended
Many thanks Dan - really appreciated
Fantastic experience: Emergency appointment with Harry who was a complete star. Kind and clever. Many thanks
Thank you Hazel :)
Fantastic experience: It feels genuine to leave 5 stars as for my personal experience I can say that Sonya has done an excellent Job with me. I was very nervous and anxious, but after couple of appointments I felt I trusted her. I'm very pleased with the end result and I would chose her again. Also, Melanie is a very nice assistant, she's very attentive!
Thank you so much 'its berty' - we really appreciate your review and I'm so pleased you feel more confident with Sonya and Melanie.
Fantastic experience: Such a great dental practise! The staff are great with my young children and put them at ease, so there is never any upset about going. They are always accommodating when booking appointments too, which makes life easier! Steve Thompson has been a brilliant dentist to us, offering honest advice and providing excellent dental care to me and my family.
Thank you Harriet so much for your amazing review
Fantastic experience: I have been with Redland dental practice for a couple of years and Dr Steve Thompson is a spectacular dentist. I want to express my gratitude for all the fantastic work you have done for me, in particular my recent root canal. Thank you for always taking my concerns into consideration and for always being happy to answer my questions.
Thank you so much Mrs Ahmed :)
Fantastic experience: Catherine and the team were nothing short of brilliant, I could not recommend them enough
Thank you Lucy - this is very much appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: Really kind receptionist made me feel welcome and less anxious about the whole experience
Thank Sy, that's really good to hear .
Fantastic experience: Harry and his assistant Beata did a great job, highly recommend.
Thank you Maciej - very kind of you you.
Fantastic experience: I'm just moving away from Bristol but want to thank David Obree and his friendly, professional, smiling team for looking after me so well over many years. A first class operation.
Thank you so much Mr MccGwire and we wish you all the best for your next dental adventure :)
Fantastic experience: I have only recently started going to Redland Road dentists having had a recommendation from a friend. They saw me quickly as I had toothache which had not been resolved by my previous dentist and I have been very impressed by their efficiency, diagnostic skills, up-to-date equipment and kindness.
How lovely Heather - thank you. I’m glad we could help you so quickly
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service from all staff, from reception, nurses, dentists hygienists, everyone. They take a real interest in their patients, make you feel extremely comfortable and have a real respect for their patient's experience at their surgery. The surgery is clean, comfortable and bright. I recommend the practice to my friends especially those with anxiety regarding dental visits. I almost (almost!) look forward to seeing the dentist for my check ups!
Wow! Thank you for this glowing review Katie - very kind and much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I have been so delighted with the dental treatment at The Redland Road practice and a massive thumbs up to Steve Thompson who has been nothing but outstanding in every aspect of his work. I have historically been a nervous patient and had suffered from dental anxiety but Steve has made me feel very relaxed, his kind nature and professional manner has now made visits to the dentist something which I look forward to - something that I never thought I would say!
Thank you Phil - so kind :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent Dentist Practice! I have been with Redland Road Dental Practice for over 15 years now and have always had first class treatment from Mr Obree, the hygienists and front desk staff. I can highly recommend them, especially if like me you feel nervous about dentists.
Thank you for your lovely review Jon :)
Fantastic experience: I've been a patient at the practice for several years now and would totally recommend Dr Uma Nair Davies and her team. I've just finished clear aligner braces with Uma and am utterly thrilled with my results. Uma is calm, patient and realistic as to what can be achieved, she is transparent about procedures and has your best interests in mind when advising. I'm quite nervous about dental treatment but Uma is a brilliant dentist and I trust her completely. My teeth are now in a much better state than when I first came to the practice and look forward to keeping up my oral hygiene routine and feeling confident about my smile. The receptionists are also super helpful and efficient - a pleasure to deal with.
Thank you Olivia :)
Fantastic experience: If I could give more stars I would!!!! After 12/13 years of hating my teeth I had a consultation with Uma to see what could be done, after a thorough check up Uma gave me all of my options, gave me a cost and took me through exactly what could/would be done if I decided to go ahead. I decided to go ahead with the 6 month smile plan (knowing that as my teeth were so bad it would probably take 9 months). I was absolutely petrified of going to the dentist and my first appointment was full of anxiety and dread, until I walked through the door and Uma and her team made me feel relaxed, from that day every appointment was so much better, in fact I felt excited about going knowing there would be changes and that it wouldn’t hurt! There was lots to do and every month Uma informed me of what she was going to do/what would need doing and any additional work once the braces were off that needed to be done to obtain the perfect smile I dreamed of, she never kept anything from me and was honest about everything. I could go on and on about the process and the results but I will show you that in the photo, all I have to say is a massive Thankyou to Uma and her team for completely changing my life and confidence, you are all amazing and would highly recommend!!!! Samantha Dann xx
Wow! Thank you Amanda :))))
Fantastic experience: Dr Uma Nair Davies has been my daughter's dentist for over 5 years. She has such a wonderful way with children that my daughter actually looks forward to her appointments!
Fantastic experience: I've been attending this practice for a number of years and can highly recommend the whole practice. Receptionists, Nurses and Dentists are all first class. They go the extra mile in terms of customer service. A definite 5 stars from me.
Thank you Jayne :)
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, very professional and super happy with my treatment every time! I normally have my treatments with Dr Uma Davies. Highly Recommended!
Thank you Veronica.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful practice! I have been seeing Dr Davies for years now and cannot fault her work. Always reassuring and understanding of my needs as a patient - highly recommend !!
Fantastic experience: Friendly, thorough and professional team! Had a great experience with Smile Align treatment and I’m much happier with my teeth at the end of it!
Thank you for your lovely review, Chris. It's so nice to hear that you had a good experience and had great results :)
Positive experience: There are not emergency dentists... called on Friday at 14.30 and they’re closed!? Disappointing as the dentists themselves are good...
I am sorry you felt the need to provide a 3* rating.
You have stated that the practice was closed. We have been closed on Fridays from 2pm for over 30 years but we do provide a telephone voicemail which gives details of our on-call service for registered patients (I presume you must be a registered patient because you were able to state that our dentists are good...?)
Had you telephoned the number provided, we would have been able to assist you immediately and, as this can be verified, might I please persuade you to review your rating? We do value our registered patients and always strive for a enviable patient-practice relationship.
If you would like to ring me during office hours to discuss your experience, I am the practice manager and would be very happy to assist. I have worked at the practice for 27 years and so it is very disappointing to me personally to receive such a review.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic dentist practice! They have really helped me turn my dental regime around in a supportive and understanding way. I have always been self conscious about my teeth but since I had them whiteneed here, I feel so much more confident. Would highly recommend!
Thank you Imogen :)
Fantastic experience: As a nervous patient I cannot recommend enough Katie Spalding and her assistant Kyky . They make you feel welcome and safe. Wouldn't go anywhere else . Lovely lovely people.
Thank so much Sally. I’m so pleased you feel welcomed and safe at Redland Road.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic dentist. Every time I go for my appointment the staff are lovely, they tell me exactly what is happening with my teeth and give me any advice I need to improve my dental routine. I enquired about something to be done at my most recent appointment and they straight away helped me, booked me in for the following week to start the treatment I had requested and were so helpful in the decision making process of which treatment I should go for. Compared to other places I have been, the appointments are longer as they go into more detail and routine checks at my appointments and give a lot more advice. All round a great dentist with brilliant staff, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Thank you Josie for your amazing review. I will forward your kind words to the whole team
Fantastic experience: I couldn't of asked for better care whilst having a tooth removed. Staff absolutely amazing throughout the entire procedure. I was nervous at first after not visiting a dentist for over 10 years. Can't recommend these guys enough. I also don't usually leave a review, very much deserved after my visit! Special thank you to Kiki the dental assistant and Kate!
Thank so much for your glowing review Mr Spurrier - we really appreciate your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Staff are absolutely wonderful, the practice is spotless, couldn't be happier with the service provided
Thank you Luke ☺️
Negative experience: First trip to this dentist and was greeted by a rude and impatient receptionist. I had not got my exact HC2 details at hand and was offered no direction in finding them and felt rushed and flustered as the receptionist judged me for fumbling around. Had a bad experience to this dentist, would not be recommending them for customer service.
Firstly, as practice manager, I would like to apologise for the reception you received.
As you can see from other reviews, this is not the experience of patients in general. However, during these unprecedented lockdown months, some of our staff are feeling very pressured by the irregular conditions. As I am sure you can appreciate, stress manifests itself in peculiar ways sometimes, and I am convinced that this was the cause of your unfortunate experience.
Again, I am very sorry.
I would be very grateful for the opportunity to make this up to you and would be pleased if you would contact me by whatever means you prefer.
Emma Taylor Cert.DPM
Practice Manager.
Negative experience: Please be careful. An absolutely traumatic experience. I visited the practice 3 times, experiencing acute pain and burning sensation, I spent over 200£ and was misdiagnosed ALL THREE TIMES. Eventually I had to visit another doctor, who managed to sort out my problem, despite the fact that I had already wasted valuable time at Redland practice. Although I had worrying symptoms, that were getting worse and worse, causing much pain, they never even referred me for the basic medical exams, but instead I was being dismissed again and again, being told I have nothing more than gingivitis which will go away on its own. So please be careful. They may be okay for plain dental procedures, like cleaning your teeth, but when it comes to more severe issues, their service is just disappointing. Absolutely traumatic. UPDATE-RESPONSE: the diagnosis was NOT consistent with the symptoms, as I was told afterwards by a different clinician, who sorted out my problem. Moreover, the medication and advice provided did absolutely nothing for me. I mean obviously, since the diagnosis was wrong and consequently the medication was not the proper one either. I was never even referred for a biopsy or blood exams.
As discussed in our communications with this patient, our clinician provided a diagnosis which was consistent with the signs and symptoms that the patient presented with. Appropriate treatment and advice was provided and we are in continuing communication with the patient to seek a resolution.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I was worried about having to see a dentist for an emrgency during Covid but couldn't have been happier with the appointmetnt and the safety precautions in place. Best practice I have been to, the staff were helpful and the dentist fixed my tooth and said not to worry for the moment, come back after Covid for a check up.
Thank you so much Baraa - it's so nice to hear that you felt safe and happy at our practice. See you after Covid for your check-up :)
Fantastic experience: The team at Redland Road has treated me so well over - what I believe is - the last 8 years. My recent visit with Dr Rum Chahal was no disappointment, in fact, I think she has been the most pleasant of all the dentists I have seen at the practice and my wife made the same comment on return from her appointment only a number of weeks ago. The Reception Team were their usual welcoming selves, too, and made the appointment a quick and easy process. The practice has a very professional attitude, but at the same time being friendly and caring. I'm not one who is overly anxious about the current situation the world is facing, but I will add that the practice seems to have thought of everything to keep individuals safe on their patient journey. I didn't actually cross another patient whilst at my appointment, which is a good sign. Thank you for the service you provide and keep up the great work Christopher Edit - well that'll teach me for not checking postal codes. My apologies Redland Road - you have been very gracious in pointing out my error and also that the review belongs to another practice. I dont think I can remove it, but happy for it to stay where it is... embarrassingly.
Hello Mr Dunbar, this is a lovely review, but I think you may have posted to the wrong practice. Dr Rum Chahal is not a member of the Redland Team. Best wishes, The Redland Road Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: The best Dental Surgery around. Staff here are absolutely amazing, helpful, polite and always having a smile. Quality of the services offered here are top of the range done by experts. I cannot recommend this practice enough.
Thank you for your very lovely review Mr Errington. We really appreciate it :)
Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming staff, professional service with a thorough approach to cleanliness.
Thank you Nichole.
Fantastic experience: This clinic is really comfortable and the staff are all very considerate!More importantly, I can feel distinct difference between this one and three other dental practices I’ve been to in Bristol when doing the filling. Dentist Kate did it very carefully one layer after another but other places just pop in the entire material at once! Strongly recommend here!
Thank you so much Yiwei - I'll be sure to forward your review to Katie :)
Fantastic experience: Very professional and caring staff. Great prices for young people under 25. Catherine has done an amazing job and I can definitely recommend her and this dental practice.
Thank you Giedvile :)
Fantastic experience: At the end of last year I opted to undertake the Six Month Smiles cosmetic adult braces treatment at The Redland Road Dental Practice. For the last ten months Uma and her team have provided first class treatment, from the initial assessment and brace fitting, to the regular reviews and adjustment procedures, right the way through to final brace removal, tooth whitening and composite bonding. Not only did I always feel fully informed and engaged at every stage of the process, but the level of professionalism and commitment to delivering the best possible service has been exemplary. Uma always made sure I understood the various options available to me at each step in the process, and went the extra mile to deliver what had been discussed and agreed. The final outcome has been, frankly, incredible. I never thought the treatment would be able to produce such an impressive result; something with which I am genuinely delighted. I only wish I had done it years ago! In my case - which I gather was in fact quite complex - the treatment was actually very straightforward, not unduly uncomfortable, and has given me a fantastic new smile - and a huge boost to my self confidence at the same time! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Uma and her team for their fantastic work. Throughout the entire process I felt fully supported and completely confident that they would take every step necessary to deliver a first class result. Thank you so much. I’m thrilled with what you’ve achieved!
Thank you Mr Tapper, for your wonderful review of your experience and treatment at Redland Road.
I am very pleased that your treatment journey with us has been such a positive one, and we look forward to seeing you for your routine appointments and all your dental care in the future.
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Redland Road Dental Practice enough. Very friendly and professional.
Thank you Tommy.
Fantastic experience: I am a long standing patient, who has lived in Bath for the last 8 years but I still come to Redland Road for my dentist, Nicola Briggs, who I have complete confidence in. The practice staff are efficient and friendly and I must give a special mention to Sue Roberts, Hygienist, who is absolutely amazing and has made a massive difference to how I view my scale and polish. Thank you Sue, no more worries for me!
Thank you very much for your kind words Mrs Osborne - I'll make sure they reach Nicola and Sue especially!
Negative experience: Ok, but the administration was poor, costs were high and the dental hygienist literally shouted at me for not exactly following her instructions! Feels like it's gone down hill. Gone elsewhere.
I am sorry to hear of your disappointment Luke - it is obviously not the usual feedback we receive from our patients and I very much regret not having the opportunity to have discussed this with you at the time.
I hope you have found a practice that you are happy with and I wish you all the best.
Fantastic experience: When I moved to Bristol seven years ago, I was very nervous about picking a new dentist. I've had some awful experiences, so took a long time doing research, reading reviews and looking into whether I should go private (even though I was a poor student at the time). This dental practice has gone above and beyond my expectations, and I recommend it to all my friends. The team are all so friendly and professional, and have completely dispelled my previous fears! Couldn't be happier.
Thank you Jessica, I'm very pleased that you are happy with us. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve always had bad experiences with dentists, due to this and moving cities I’ve avoiding attending check ups for many years even though I knew I needed treatment. I have severe anxiety about going to the dentist and due to trauma to one of my teeth, bit the bullet and booked an appointment at redland. I have received excellent service starting from booking my appointment to my first check up. Uma was incredibly patient with me and even worked out a plan where I could start with smaller treatments leading up to bigger treatments to help with my anxiety and to become comfortable with visiting the dentist again. The whole experience was incredibly informative and helped to put me somewhat at ease. I feel much more relaxed about attending my next visit knowing I have a dentist team I can trust. Would highly recommend Redland Dental practice!
Thank you for your lovely review Jazz, we really appreciate your feedback.
Fantastic experience: I would like to highly recommend Redland Road Dental practise, Bristol and dentist Mr Steve Thompson for his compassionate and professional treatment. I couldn't be happier. I am delighted with the superb treatment I've received today and over the past four years from Mr Steve Thompson. A truly excellent and talented dentist. Also Nikki, his excellent and thoughtful technician and assistant. I would also like to highly recommend hygienist Jose Hervas for his gifted and precise hygiene treatment, done with sensitivity and positivity. Thank you very much.
Hello Bethan. We are so grateful for this lovely review - Steve, Nikki and Jose will all be bowled over!!!
Fantastic experience: Relaxed, friendly atmosphere with exceptional, dependable advice and care. David O'Bree and Sue the hygienist are brilliant - that's a good description for a dentist!
We agree Mr Blake! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: My family and I have used this dental practice for over 15 years, and I can't recommend them highly enough. I have awful teeth, and they have a brilliant dentist (Steve Thompson) who specialises in restorative dentistry. Steve has found some very innovative solutions for my teeth and is always very informative, helpful and kind. They also have a brilliant dental hygenist (Ms N Choi) who is also extremely helpful and informative. What I like about this practice is that they accept children on the NHS without insisting that parents are registered as private patients. Charges are very reasonable (and reduced for 18 - 25 year olds).
Thank you Mrs Farajian. I will make sure that both Steve and Nikki read your review :)
Fantastic experience: No one likes going to see the dentist, but the whole team here are so friendly and helpful they have changed my experience. I've seen Steve and Nikki and they are brilliant! Would definitely recommend this practice
Thank you Caitlin, I'll let Steve and Nikki know :)
Fantastic experience: This is by far the best dentist i’ve ever been too with such friendly staff!! They make a genuine effort to help you out and I can trust them completely. Massive shoutout to the Hygienist Nicola she was fantastic and put my mind at ease. Looking for a dentist honestly look no further this is the place.
Fantastic experience: I've had 5 dentists over about 25 years at this practice, and have always been impressed with the expertise and professionalism of all of them. In addition the reception staff are pleasant and competent, and the establishment is comfortable and informal. Nobody likes going to the dentist, but if I have to I would prefer to choose the Redland Dental Practice.
Kind words. Thank you Mr Sinden.
Fantastic experience: Can highly recommend Steve Thompson. Great chair side manner, a very competent dentist.
Thank you Tom.
Fantastic experience: We have been visiting Mr Obree at Redland Dental Practice for 26 years and he has cared for the whole family in this time. My sons still want to see him when they come back from university not only because he has done such a great job with their teeth but he has always been keen to see how they have got on in life. He also has a great orthodontist to refer them on to when that has been necessary. I have recommended him to many friends when they've resettled in Bristol and they are all delighted with the care they have received from this Practice.
Fantastic experience: Great dental practice, I've been going there for 20+ years and David OBree has done a great job of caring for my teeth! My nearly 2 year old son has been there too and was quite comfortable with his first experience of the dentists! It costs more than NHS but your teeth are worth it ;-)
Thank you Jackie and just to let everyone know, we see children free of charge under the NHS :)
Fantastic experience: I cannot remember when I joined the Redland Dental Practice but it must be well over ten years ago! In all that time, Lorna Pollock has performed her magic to maintain the health and looks of my smile. She, as well as her assistants, have invariably been professional, pleasant and good humoured. In one word: excellent! For the last few years, the staff at reception has also been helpful and welcoming. I hope its evident success and popularity will not affect the practice negatively.
It definitely won't! Thank you Mr Vallejo.
Fantastic experience: This is a great dental practice with both efficient and understanding admin staff (gold dust!). Nicola Briggs has been the dentist to our whole family for over 25 years seeing us through various life stages, we have always felt very relaxed and 100% confident in her care. If ever Nicola hasn't been available and we've had to see another dentist in the practice we've always been very happy with them too. I moved to Devon 3 years ago but still come back for my dental treatment as I can't bear to leave such a good practice where I always feel at ease.
Wow! Thank you so much Bales. Nicola, and all the team, will be very pleased with your review.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient here for at least twenty-five years and wouldn't move despite the fact I no longer live in Bristol. Friendly, efficient, superb care.
Thank you Miss Morris.
Fantastic experience: Professional and welcoming, - and my dentist has a juke box in his room, - and a flat screen above the chair so you can watch films while being treated - bonus. Been a patient for years and I highly recommend them.
Thanks Henrik :)
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at The Redland Dental Practice for 40 years and when my usual dentist retired a few years ago, I was a bit nervous at having to get used to a new one. However, I needn't have worried. My current dentist, Mr. Thompson, has completely put me at ease, he goes through all options, treatment and costs and has shown new ways of doing things, which I have found more comfortable. I have always received a very good service and treatment at RDP and in my view, they are excellent. The only thing I don't like is the water trickling down my throat when the hygienist is cleaning my teeth - I imagine it's like a very mild case of water-boarding!!!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been patients at this practice for over 30 years and had Lorna Pollock as our dentist for a lot of that time. We have always found the treatment to be exemplary. My husband had teeth extracted unnecessarily before we came to Bristol but Miss Pollock has always taken pains to explain the treatment and only resort to extractions as a last resort. I had to have a tooth extracted recently. and this was done by Mark Gillis who was equally efficient and professionall. I must also mention the dental nurses who are always kind and attentive and the reception staff who are efficient and helpful. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant professional environment. See the same great dentist every time. No negatives
Fantastic experience: Our family have been patients at the Redland Road Dental practice for many years. When we came to Bristol we were looking for an excellent dentist who also had time to explain treatments, provide choice and preferred prevention to treatment. Luckily we found Lorna Pollock! The practice has dentists with different specialities so referrals are often within the building with continuity of care. Emergency appointments are prompt (thank you to Steve Thompson who fixed my cracked tooth recently). The dental nurses and admin staff are also helpful.
Fantastic experience: I've been using Redland road dental surgery for 15 years, their service is excellent.
Fantastic experience: I joined the Redland Road Dental Practice when my previous dentist of longstanding, retired. What a difference. Steve Thompson's approach to my dental demands is thoughtful, methodical and informative. I feel as though I'm really involved in deciding what treatment to have. I've also met several of the Practice's dental hygienists. They too have treated me considerately and - most important - painlessly.
Fantastic experience: This is an easy review to write. Redland Road is the best dental surgery I've ever been to. In fact, my dentist is so good, I stayed registered at the practice when I moved to Amsterdam!
Fantastic experience: We've been clients at this practice for over 30 years and would be confident in any of the dentists. I have really difficult teeth and Steve Thompson does a brilliant job of looking after them. This is a really excellent dental practice.
Fantastic experience: I have visited this practice on numerous occasions and have found the customer care and treatment to be excellent! Thank you, see you soon!
Fantastic experience: My family and I have been patients at the Redland Road Dental Practice for many years and I have always found the service exemplary. Due to a bad experience at my previous dentists I hadn't had a check up for years and was initially very nervous but the expert treatment from James Pope and the team soon allayed my fears. I would highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I have never before felt so at ease and relaxed about visiting a dentist, and utterly confident that I am receiving the best treatment available. At the reception desk people are friendly and efficient and I always leave with a feeling of gratitude.
Fantastic experience: Mr Obree is really good dentist for me and my daughter. I have had a lot of treatment over many years and Mr Obree and his team consistently provide high quality care. My daughter is under 18 so is treated under the NHS. I use Denplan which is an affordable monthly payment and this covers all my treatments. Also, Mr Obree has a old duke box in his surgery and you can choose a record to play, yes vinyl. I can't recommend them more highly.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at this dental practice since the age of about 11 when Mr Wilkie was my orthodontist and that was over 40 years ago. I did'nt have much say in the matter then but I have never had a reason to leave or think of going elsewhere in my adult years. Dental costs may have risen but the care has been consistently good, especially from my current dentist, Miss Pollock.
Fantastic experience: Redland Road Dental Practice was recommended to me over a quarter century ago and I've been coming ever since. I've always been treated with warmth, courtesy and respect and have nothing but good to say about the standard of treatment I've received, the quality of service, the friendliness of the staff...even the RPS parking seems to work out ok! I highly recommend Steve Thompson. A very safe pair of hands and an easy manner and somehow always manages to calm my nerves...and that's quite a challenge!
Fantastic experience: My teeth have Lorna Pollock to thank for over 20 years of TLC, always prompt and conscientious. Reception are fun to deal with. A warning: if the one who calls himself Obree offers you a tip for the Grand National, treat it with grave scepticism.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful and efficient. I hate going to see the dentist - any dentist - and they're always very nice about it!
