I just rang to make an appointment at the dental surgery at 3 Dartmouth Road and was actually quite perturbed that I managed to get an appointment within a matter of days, rather than the months I was expecting... should I be concerned??? Anyone go to this surgery and have an opinion on what they're like?
Not that I'm cynical or anything but when things are too easy I get worried
Apparently they are one of the better dentists in the area.
Don't be dissauded by the large number of bulging 'medical waste' bags.
I think you'll find a fair number of satisfied patients on here, but as the dentist is technically in Forest Hill, it may be worth checking on other (less popular) sites
Can anyone recommend a good practice in SE26 or thereabout which is willing to take on new NHS and/or private patients. We would like to register with one.
Our previous dentist used to be in Sydenham High St just after the Kwik Fit but he had moved to Somerset a couple of years ago. For some reason, the current practice there no longer contacts us so we normally have our teeth done or checked privately overseas.
Do these dentists have private facilities too? I need to find somewhere that has NHS for 'basic' things like checkups etc. However, as a very nervous patient (after a bodged filling leading to an extraction and a high tolerance to anisthetic - ie it takes LOADS for it to work) I pay for sedation for anything more intrusive, this needs an anaethatist present - and costs!
My previous dentist was near my old job, and went private only, so I need to find someone new.
I think jmh is not a person but one of those web bots which is programmed to post automatically after taking quotes from earlier messages in a thread and combining them with random phrases from the Daily Mail
I've used the dentist at 3 Dartmouth Road for several years - Harunani & Ziman & Associates - they have a web page: http://www.foresthilldental.com/
They have quite a few dentists so it wouldn't surprise me if they could offer an early appointment. My view of dentists is that you need one that you get on with personally, whichever dental surgery it is. Meaning that if you are happy with the look and feel overall of a surgery, perhaps ask to see a different dentist if you don't "gel" with the first one you see.
