When my dentist retired, after I'd been seeing him for over 30 years(!), I was worried about finding a new one. My oldest son suggested I try the one down the road, so I did. And I was delighted! I had excellent treatment by Dr Vlada Hrkalovic - I had toothache and he treated the area very gently, explained everything very clearly, then gave me a thorough check-up and did the hygienist bit too. My toothache has now gone and my teeth are clean and healthy. My daughter saw Dr Olga Hrkalovic and she was equally happy. I thoroughly recommend this dental practice (I don't normally leave reviews but I wanted to give praise where it is due).
Also they are taking all the precautions and more against covid.
However, very disappointed that I was charged £109 for what was essentially a slightly more advanced scale and polish treatment + an X-ray. Upon inspection, I was told I needed an £85 hygienist treatment on the private services instead of the anticipated £23 scale and polish NHS band 1 treatment when booking my appointment as a NHS patient. I was not really given a choice between the two options. Last time I visited the practice, I had so much more plaque build-up to clear and was charged £23 with a standard scale and polish under the NHS, so this sudden change of treatment choice felt dishonest and unjustified.
The dentist then insisted I also needed to have an X-ray done for an extra £23 from the already unexpected £85 'just to make sure everything is fine' and despite no apparent issue - only to tell me in ten seconds that in fact yes, everything was perfect. This again felt unjustified.
To top it all off, the dentist was discussing extortionate energy bills for his practice with his assistant while performing treatment. Guess I know why the jump to £109 then...
A real shame as I had a good experience during my previous visit but I will definitely not come back here as it's not financially sustainable for such routine treatments.
Overall great service.
Thank you
