Having a Extremely severe phobia to dentists due to a bad experience previous, which resulted in the dentist being struck off. I changed to this practice. I was not very confident or comfortable, being talked down to , which only enhanced my phobia. Due to medical emergencies I missed 2 appointments which I hold my hands up ,is my responsibility.
I then took to going guys hospital for treatment in emergencies. Years later I decided to re try coming back to this practice. I went online 1st then called in as requested. The receptionist was very rude and stand offish . Tried saying I'd tried to book with my 1st name as my surname also. ( screenshot shows otherwise). I was then told I had been archived due to not being seen in a long time. Which I expected. I was then told due to missing 2 appointments all those years ago ( which I had paid the refundable deposits on and quite rightly lost the deposits) I'd only be welcome back as a private patient. She then went on to say I wasn't registered. Talking to me as if I was beneath her.
I know I was registered as my daughter had previously checked ,and was told only I could make appointments. Not my daughter whom is also my carer.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE. But thankfully I've now found another practice, who's receptionist was Extremely professional, polite, reassuring. Informative and clearly well versed in customer service.
