What Our Patients Have to Say

  • "My Daughter is under Adrian at this practice and it has always been great, recently I needed some help with Orthodontic advice and practice manager Carol went over and above to help me, so nice to see people that care about their job and patients."

    Julian Ward

  • "Our dentist is Dr Sanei. Have been going to him for 18 years now. Always very friendly, professional and courteous. He picked up early on some Orthodontal work my son would need and referred us quickly for that to get started. When an emergency extraction was needed we were able to get an appointment that same morning. Have nothing but praise for this practice."

    Sarah Briggs

  • "I have been going to this dental practice for over 10 years. I came in as a nervous patient from previous dreadful experiences at another practice. This quickly was alleviated by the fantastic caring staff that put me at ease. I have had positive experiences with all staff at the practice from the receptionists, dental nurses, the dentists and practice manager. Most recently Within the last year I have had dental treatment from Dr Qamar Hussain. This dentist does absolutely quality work, he is friendly, fantastic at what he does, and is a perfectionist with making sure everything is right before you leave the doors. I cannot recommend this dentist or the practice enough. I wouldn’t go anywhere else !"
