    I came as a very nervous patient not wanting to be there at all, terrified from previous experiences at other surgeries. But the dentist I saw, apart from doing a lovely job and being very thorough without hurting me abit, was kind reassuring, explaining every thing he was doing. He really has took my fear away, and as soon as my pension credit comes through I'll be back, and have no nerves at all, well may be just a little. But thankyou so much. Sue Davis.
