After years of anxiously neglecting my teeth, I took the plunge to see Dr. Rainsberry. She’s very caring and compassionate, gentle and human! Does a great job – I have recommended the surgery to my support group for autistic people who also struggle in medical environments. I will be a repeat visitor until my teeth are at optimum.
Dr Martin Edwards is a brilliant a very patient dentist I would recommend him to anyone.
Went for a tooth extraction, then 2 weeks later a hygiene clean… Both was amazing services.. Lovely staff… My teeth are feeling and looking better than other 😊.
Great service new what I was going to pay and a great job done and great friendly service from the reception to the dentist and his nurse.
