Ochilview Dental and Oral Surgery: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I have had a wisdom tooth which has been causing me trouble for a while now. My dentist referred me to Ochilview who were quick to contact me and set a date for coming in. The whole process was so smooth! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and its such a nice atmosphere. Everything was explained to me very thoroughly and the removal of the tooth was so quick. The surgery itself is cosy and warm and spotless. I would recommend Ochilview without hesitation. P.s some great music during the procedure too! Little touches like that make it a relaxing environment especially if you're feeling nervous.
Fantastic experience: Well pleased with all aspects of my treatment today, would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Good well organised service with well experienced staff providing good quality treats
Fantastic experience: I cannot explain how much I cannot stand going to the dentist. I was stressing about it all week and went in today for my appointment. I was a week early . However, because I had an infection the very kind dentist still saw me. He cleaned out the tooth, filled it with a temporary filling and prescribed me antibiotics. All eventhough I had mid-remembered my appointment. I hope that this is the positive change I needed to get over my fear of the dentist. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: After being with the same dentist my whole life, I decided to move to Ochilview and I’m so glad I did. I had my first check up today and everyone was lovely. The dentist was really helpful and even managed to do a full scale and polish within my appointment which saved me having to come back.
Dear Lauren thank you for your review . We would like to accommodate patients where possible at Ochilview Dental .
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dr Giresh for sedation due to my high anxiety. He was brilliant and I ended up with no sedation and no pain. I appreciate him being conservative rather than just going ahead. I've even gone back with Dr Tsai and had an even greater experience with him. Love these dentists!

Fantastic experience: Was referred to get a wisdom tooth extracted. Dr Bharadwaj did a great job with what turned out to be a bit of an awkward job and, which I really appreciated, he kept me informed of what he was doing throughout the process, as well as being good humoured (which always helps). 2 thumbs up.
We are really glad that you had a great experience. Thank you for taking time to post your review.

Thank you for your feedback David . Glad it’s sorted
Negative experience: Extremely poor hygiene practises within the surgery and dental practitioners unfamiliar with their practice equipment and protocols. I was in today for an appointment to have a temporary cap fitted on a front tooth, after having a difficult conversation with both the dental nurse and assistant as to what my appointment was for between them they decided to take an X-ray of the tooth in question. Firstly the dental assistant dropped the X-ray film on the floor, proceeded to pick it up and place it back in the holder with a view to put it straight into my mouth until I asked him if he was going to clean it or get a new one, he then gave it a cursory wipe with an antibacterial wipe and was ready to place it in my mouth to which I asked I he was happy with this practise. They then replaced the film with a new one, the dental nurse sorry therapist as she said took a few attempts to place the fitting in my mouth the wrong way and on the third attempt got it the correct way round. After struggling with the actual x-ray camera the dental assistant then stepped in to set it up correctly. After taking the x-ray the dental therapist then questioned with difficulty again as to what my appointment was for. At this point I walked out and asked for an appointment with the previous dental nurse I had seen at the practise previously who was a little better. After today’s visit we are now looking for another dentist in West Lothian/ Armadale/Bathgate preferably but only on recommendations.
Dear James, We take aseptic precautions very seriously and thank you for providing the feedback. Certainly your experience is not the routine in our practice. Thank you for giving the feedback and team members have been appraised to ensure standards are maintained every time.

Fantastic experience: I am 22 weeks pregnant. They made me feel at ease and kept asking if I was okay. Explained procedure and kept me informed. Have another appointment booked. I have a real fear of dentists and visibly shake when I have to go. Dr Devika Panicker is patient and professional, would highly recommend anyone who is nervous about dentists to book with her.
Thank you Amber for your feedback. We hope your treatment goes well. Best wishes.
Fantastic experience: My husband attended last week for the removal of two teeth, and the staff were very good with him, when he was quite nervous.

Negative experience: Stuff very nice and welcoming. I had an appointment today wasn't happy as this was an emergency appointment. The dentist (i dont really know her name) don't think she was a dentist or a training dentist did my ex Ray, check. Spent there 50mins, she was walking around me asking questions etc. The lady at the reception desk told me it will take 15mins but I have been there for 50mins! I was 10mins late for the school run. I left the dentist building with the same bad pain of my tooth without no help. I dont think I will come back again. I'm disappointed after this appointment

Fantastic experience: I was with a different dentist for 10 years. I thought they were great... until I came to this one. The dental lady here is absolutely fantastic. Within the first few appointments, she sorted out some dental things that had been affecting my confidence for years, despite my previous dentist leading me to believe there wasn't anything I could do about it. Each visit, I leave feeling more confident and happy with my smile. Absolutely recommend 10/10
Thank you for taking time to write your feedback. Our team will be glad to know that their efforts are appreciated.

Thank you for your feedback
Fantastic experience: Girish was very professional and gave clear explanations. I felt in good hands. The technology was amazing! My only small criticism was that I was unclear about the charging structure. Was the first consultation included in the total cost or in addition? I hadn't had costs explained to me. I should have asked. The surgery was easy to find. I travelled up from the Borders.
Dear Donald Appreciate your feedback. The consultation and scan fee would have been explained by staff while booking your initial appointment. Not to worry. We can sort that at next visit.
Fantastic experience: Like to thank Richa Malik felt no pain getting my teeth done and made you feel comfortable and at ease . Receptionists are friendly and made you feel welcomed. Thanks again would recommend

Fantastic experience: Great dentist would highly recommend
Appreciate your feedback. Thank you
Negative experience: !! Wouldn’t recommend !! Receptionists are rude and very unprofessional. Seems to be little to no communication from dentists through to reception either. The actual dentists aren’t much better either. Not very understanding with patients. Mis treated on two seperate occasions. Don’t tell you prices for any treatment. Dentist arguing with colleague over holidays in plain sight of the waiting area. Very unprofessional. Wouldn’t recommend here if you want clear advice and treatment. Will not be back!!
Thank you for taking time to give a feedback. The issues have been discussed in our team meetings. We are really sorry that your experience was not ideal but we strive to make improvements as our friendly team rarely fall below the expected professional standards.

Fantastic experience: Having had major issues with a past dentist I was extremely worried when it came to attending appointments. But after a referral from the wife (yes this time she was right), attending Ochilview has been great and nerves have been restored to trust again. Dr Girish Bharadwaj and the team are fantastic from actually dental surgery to customer service, I cannot fault and highly recommend. I have had a lot of restorative treatment and this also included trust, to which I have to say has been completely pain free. Thank you
Thanks Ashley for your feedback. We are glad to get to know you had a positive experience with us.
