    Even though I had saved my appointment details on my calendar, I still received a reminder a day before the appointment. I like this. The dentist was always quick to explain what she was doing and seeing, profer multiple solutions and allay my fears and concerns about me grinding my teeth during my sleep. On a whole, very good service👍🏾

    Best experience I’ve ever had of a dentist, I put off going for years out of severe anxiety, and was further put off by a terrible experience at Bupa Clinic in Coventry just a week before, however Dr Rakesh put me at ease straight away and understood my nerves. I went back for my filling just a week later and I am absolutely terrified of needles but again Dr Rakesh understood and applied numbing gel and I didn’t even feel the needle go in!! The procedure went very well and it was a deep cavity yet I didn’t feel any pain after the anaesthesia went away. The reception even called me the day after to make sure I was okay which I thought was so kindHighly highly recommend this practice, especially if you’re someone as nervous as I and I’ve recommended this place to everyone. Thank you for helping me finally overcome my dental fearSophia
