Negative experience: I took my 96 year old mother for a dental appointment at 2. We were ten mins earlier it was raining. And my mother was short of breath . The lady at the. Door refused us entry even when my mum asked if she could have a seat . The reason. They were having lunch and they don’t like to sit in reception as this is what they would have had to do if we had entered . I understand we all are entitled to lunch but I would have thought there would have been a more thoughtful approach . Extremely disappointed
We are sorry to hear about your recent experience at our practice and apologise for the inconvenience caused to yourself and your mother. The practice does close for lunch and therefore the doors are kept closed at this time, we do however take on board your comments in relation to your mother being unable to sit down when early for an appointment and trust that you will have a much more pleasant experience at your next visit.
Kind regards,
Julie - mydentist Patient Services Team Leader
Fantastic experience: I recently had to have a tooth extracted. A molar. I can’t thank Christopher Green enough and it was well worth the expense (private patient). Apart from the loud crack it was painless. No loss of blood. No problems. I can’t speak more highly. He also did a filling (expensive) a year or so back but you honestly can’t see which tooth is filled. Recommend him 100%.
Hi Janet. We are grateful for your trust in our team and are so pleased to hear that both the molar extraction and filling procedures were comfortable and effective for you. It's wonderful to know that Christopher Green was able to perform the extraction with minimal discomfort and that you experienced no complications or bleeding afterward. We take great pride in ensuring our patients have positive experiences, even during procedures that can seem daunting. Your feedback about the filling being virtually invisible is particularly gratifying, as achieving natural-looking results is always our goal. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your strong recommendation.

Fantastic experience: I've just returned to Gillies Dental, as I moved away. I had my first root canal performed by Chris and was very worried about how much it would hurt but I didn't feel a thing. He was so supportive keeping me informed for each step and I felt very comfortable. The receptionists are helpful and friendly and helped make my visit a pleasant one.
We appreciate your positive feedback and are happy to hear about your comfortable experience at Gillies Dental Centre. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Fantastic experience: I moved to the practise last year and have seen Pedro matos Rito each time. He’s honestly the best dentist I’ve ever had. Gives really sound advice, prescribed me special toothpaste to help prevent decay.I’ve always been a nervous patient (literally cry and shake through an any type of procedure) he was calming and incredibly patient with me! Both him and his nurse (Alina I believe her name is) were incredibly kind and walked me through the whole procedure before I had a filling. If you’re a nervous patient or just want a dentist who is genuinely passionate about his job and teeth, then this is the man for you! I won’t go as far as saying I look forward to my next appointment, but I no longer fear it as much as I did before!
We're incredibly grateful for your kind words and are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Pedro Matos Rito at Gillies Dental Centre. It's wonderful to know that Dr. Rito's approach has helped ease your dental anxiety and that you found both him and Alina to be patient and kind throughout your procedure. We're pleased that Dr. Rito's advice and personalised care, such as prescribing special toothpaste, have been helpful to you. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback – it means a lot to us and our team!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service and friendly team. Pedro Matos Rito is a joy to visit and that's saying something as I've never been keen on a trip to the dentist. He is thorough and explains everything clearly. Here's hoping he stays at the practice otherwise I will be trying to track down where he goes
We are pleased to hear about your fantastic experience at Gillies Dental Centre. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback with us!

Fantastic experience: I have been seen and treated by Pedro Matos Rito several times now and I have to say he is one of, if not the best dentist I have ever had. And I have been seeing dentists as an adult for over fifty years. I need to get him fitted with a tracker in case he leaves the practice .
Your feedback is incredibly valuable. We are thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with Pedro Matos Rito at Gillies Dental Centre. Thank you immensely.

Negative experience: Wasted all my time waiting for Gp after self login but later told me that the Gp is not in Today. We Sacrificed out time to be here. Although we are here for our own treatment but you’re also here for us. At least call us for us not waste our time but rather came here to realise after spending an hour and thirty minutes waiting. It’s so sad
It is regrettable to learn about your experience at Gillies Dental Centre. We would appreciate it if you would contact us at 01256 468112 so that we can discuss this matter further.

Fantastic experience: Firstly I would like to say my whole family have never had even remotely a bad experience here, we are always well received and always feel very well looked after. Specifically what has prompted me to write this review is the treatment I received when I had an emergency where somehow half of what I thought was a perfectly healthy tooth broke off leaving me with a gigantic hole and razer sharp edge on the remaining part. I spoke to the receptionist who I always find very helpful and a pleasure to deal with and she managed to find me a slot that morning to come in as I was due to go on holiday imminently and I could have the tooth like that for a week. When I arrived I found both receptionists very sympathetic and understanding of my situation, I felt (like I always do here) in very good hands. When I got called in Dr Zabollnejad was very welcoming and immediately got to work treating the broken tooth. I couldn't believe how amazing of a job he done in such a short space of time. I was certain it would be a lost cause and just an extraction. The quality of the repair is almost like the damage never happened and its my understanding that this is just a temporary fix to get me through the holiday and I have a follow up appointment for when I get back. Dr Zabollnejad, you are a master of your craft and have a solid team around you. Thank you very much to all of you for all your help
Thank you for your 5 star review. I am very pleased to hear of your experience and I will share your feedback with the Practice Team. We look forward to welcoming you back to practice at your next appointment.

Negative experience: Absolutely disgusted by their underhand and immoral practice of cancelling appointment after appointment during 2020, then stating that its emergency appointments only in 2021 then striking off my whole family in 2022 for non-attendance for an appointment never even made. It seems just a way of reducing their patient list. Then to top it off, the disinterested and frankly unprofessional receptionist is rude, dismissive and confrontational. Not that this review makes any difference as they have their patients over a barrel. 0 out of 5.
I am sorry to hear that we are unable to offer you any further appointments, although we will always take into account personal circumstances, where patients fail to attend or cancel appointments with no/limited notice on a frequent basis, it will impact on the practice both in terms of cost and wasted surgery time. Therefore, it is with regret that we are unable to continue to offer dental services to these patients. In addition it may help to also explain that if a patient does not attend the practice for a 2-year period they can be removed from the practice list, this was increased to 2 years and 6 months due to COVID. If we do not hear from a patient in this time, we must assume they are being seen elsewhere for their oral hygiene check-ups. At your last check-up, the dentist will have advised when you should next attend, this is usually either 6 or 12 months, it is then the responsibility of the patient to make sure they book this next check-up at the given time. Failure to do so, will result in removal from the practice books, in order to create space for the growing waiting list of patients trying to access NHS dentistry.
Kind regards,
{my}dentist Patient Support Team
Negative experience: If I could put 0 stars I would. First of all they should change receptionist. She even didn’t let me explain problem properly. Instead of getting help and understand the situation I got an advise to call at Thursday for emergency appointment which I can’t afford. 1.25% increase for NHS and you can’t get proper treatment nor service with them. Same with a GP. Zero understanding from their side. Had to call my previous dentist (Reading) guess what after explaining to them how much in pain I am they sorted first available appointment plus rest of the favours what I had.
Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, as this practice is already at maximum capacity for NHS patients, they are currently unable to offer you an NHS place. In some practices where we have no NHS appointment capacity, we do have alternative private options for patients to access dentistry, outside of the practices NHS contractual obligations. We will always offer patients this option as an alternative, so our patients can make an informed choice on their dental care.

Positive experience: Clean tidy and had gel
Thank you for such a wonderful review for our practice which is very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your patient experience with us.

Negative experience: ABSOLUTELY A DISGRACE. Had my appointments cancelled keep telling to phone next month and so on ..... Excuse was to say we had 3 dentist leave awaiting a start date for nearly 3 months now. Not surprised in the slightest why they would leave working in a place that offers this kind of treatment. Now we are expecting a 1.25% increase in NHS next year you should be ashamed for this rubbish!! Not even worth a 1 star.
Good Afternoon Brian
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction with the service you received from our practice and would like to apologise for your experience.
Our mydentist patient support team will be happy to discuss any concerns or look into any formal complaint you may wish to make about the practice. They can be contacted on [email protected], Kind Regards, mydentist
Negative experience: Struggling to get appointments with dentist taking last minute leave and reducing hours. Arrived today with an hours wait - no contact made prior to appt time. There was plenty of time to get in touch to save me being put at risk in a waiting room. Poor service
We apologise for the delay in responding to your review. We have identified an issue that has meant we have reviews that have not been responded to for over a number of years involving a few of our practices. This issue has now been resolved and we trust your issue has now been resolved. Again, we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Kind Regards

Negative experience: I have had 3 appointments scheduled in the two months (for myself and children). The first one was cancelled an hour before because the dentist couldn't make it to work. The rescheduled appointment yesterday for my daughter at 8.45am was 45 minutes late as the dentist was late to work and my appointment today was informed, after waiting for 20 mins, that would be at least another half hour as they had 2 emergency appts in that day. The receptionist was lovely as clearly not her fault and she has the painful job of passing this information on but my experience has been extremely frustrating. Now got to wait till mid June for my rescheduled appt as had to get back to work.
Good Afternoon Em
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the service provided to you by our practice and that your appointment was cancelled at late notice.

If you would like to discuss your specific situation further, please contact the Practice Manager on who will be happy to talk to you.

Fantastic experience: Just Excellent ! - I have been with them 10 years which is testament to how good they are. What you really want from a dentist is to feel at ease and receive professional treatment. They always offer that, superb dentists with fast appointments and friendly helpful reception staff as well. I fall under the category of "nervous" to say the least, but have never once felt worried about going to Gillies. Just friendly professional people doing a great job !
Good Afternoon Mark

Fantastic experience: I'm a nervous patient, but this surgary is fantastic. I was met at the front door by a nurse who took my temperature and put at ease. I had a wisdom tooth removed by Viktoriia Macmillan, she explains what she is going to do and always conscious that I was ok, she explains and shows everything at the end. Fantastic dentist.... the receptionist... Nurses... Very friendly and made my experience as good as it could be. Thank you all. Karen Marsh

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Gillies Dental Centre for a long time and have always felt completely satisfied with my treatment. As far as I am concerned I cannot suggest anything more to improve the care I have been receiving.
Good morning,

Many thanks,

Negative experience: They gave out old £1 coins as change even though these are no longer legal tender, they never have any money so often have to owe it to you, and they try and sell you stuff that you don't need. Avoid this dentist No it is definitely this dentist thanks
Hi Emz24, I can absolutely assure you that as a practice we do not give out non legal tender or owe money to our patients. I think that maybe this review is meant for an alternative practice. Kind Regards, Nicola, Patient Support
Fantastic experience: I have always been quite nervous of Dentists after a bad experience years ago, however I have found Viktoriia Macmillan to be superb, she explains what she is going to do and is always conscious that you are ok, she then explains and shows everything at the end. I have also seen other reviews that say reception is bad, I have no complaints at all, they are always helpful and friendly. Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: An excellent service; I suffered a broken tooth due to a hard seed which caused a fracture to the side of a rear tooth; on contacting the surgery just after lunch on a Friday I was given an early afternoon appointment on the same day and the tooth was repaired.
