I am petrified of the dentist but she was great with me too. I had a filling and she never hurt me once. Mine is called Catrina...like I said, not sure what the others in the dentist are like, but she is worth her weight in gold.

I don't know how many dentists are working there but suffice it to say that there are two of them who are butchers.

I'm glad to hear that there is someone there who knows what they are doing but I have never been scared of the dentist and after what happened to my mum and my husband with two different dentists I don't feel like I dare trust anyone else there.

My husband doesn't know the name of the woman dentist he saw, it was the first time he'd seen her and she didn't speak good English so he couldn't make out a lot of what she was saying.

It was a man called Kurkowski (sp) who made a mess of my mum.

Catrina, my dentist, speaks very good English so it aint her who your hubby saw. I have only seen her, so not sure who you mean...me, hubby and kids are all with same person.

We all used to be with Mr Parry until he left to go private. We never had any problems at all with the place until he left. Then it all went wrong.

I remember I had to go for an emergency extraction one sunday 9 years ago. I was 8 month pregnant with my youngest son. I am petrified of dentist, and was shaking like a bloody leaf.
I saw a lady ( not sure of her name ) and I think she was more scared than me, though she was scared to death I was gonna give birth in her chair lol. She was fantastic with me. she put some gel on before the injection, so even that didn't hurt!! She was a real star!!

so when we got allocated into this dentist, I was chuffed to bits. I was talking to a friend of mine a couple of days before I had my appointment.
she said she was in this dentist, and hers was quite rough with her.....needless to say, night before my appointment, was a sleepless one

But I had my filling, and everything was great. Which is a relief. AND I'm happy to say, they still use the pre-injection gel

I've said this before on another thread. Two of my family had treatment there by foreign dentists who didn't seem to know what to do. It used to be a top place years ago but I wouldn't advise anyone to go there now.

been going to that dentist for a year, had various fillings in my mouth and felt no pain whatsoever, maria my dentist is check and she is brilliant , very nice dentist
