Well we are well into the year now!A few significant developments recently to let you know about.
We have now got a water cooler in the waiting room but more importantly now offer a dental insurance scheme that I have researched at great length before selecting this particular one.
We have the private fees as always and still offer NHS treatment to exempt patients,children and those who specifically request.This is something different in that it is an insurance scheme(with Dencover) that is totally flexible.There is a monthly payment that covers for treatment and maintenance(examinations and scale and polishes) and is very good value for money.
I want to offer as much choice to the patients of the practice as possible and this scheme offers just this.Ask for further details at your next visit to the surgery.

At the moment the waiting time for appointments is longer than I would want so I am working intensely to reduce this.As an interim measure we are making routine examination appointments for the beginning of April onwards.
I still aim to see patients of the practice in pain on the day they contact.
For the time being as well we are not accepting new patients or patients of other practices in pain until the waiting time is reduced.I will update you as things progress.
Be assured I am doing all I can to improve this situation.
