I have NHS cover for dental paid for by my insurance and after calling so many places who didnt take on NHS patients, this place said it takes NHS patients and signed me up.
The receptionist tells me they can take me on but NHS patients need to wait 1-2 months for an appointment and I agreed to wait. And so I waited, my pain was only in certain moments so I figured it can wait for 6 weeks.
So I wait this whole time, come to the practice and when I sit in the dental chair, the dentist tells me she will NOT treat me as NHS patient. I felt really helpless, I need the treatment but I dont want to pay the private fees- not after agreeing to be seen in 2 MONTHS and waiting I really wanted to get what the nurse confirmed with me over the phone.
The dentist apologized and said it was probably a receptionist COVER. Wow. So here I am, in pain, after 2 months wait and the dentist still wouldn’t see me even after this clearly wasnt my fault-offering me to be seen only if I pay their private fees.
They sent me contact details to their sister dental practice where I would have to wait for another 2 months for NHS appointment- but honestly I am so fed up with how I have been treated I probably wouldn’t get a check there even if it was free.
I would avoid using practice, take your money somewhere where they train their staff better and can own up to their mistakes. I wonder, if my tooth treatment would have gone bad, if they would say there was a COVER dentist on that day :)
