Worst Dentist

January 26, 2011

I would never recomend these two dentists to my worst enemies. The have ruined my children teeth. The dentist has never checked their teeth properly and when I took them to a different dentist it was to late and they lost two teeth each!!! One child had five cavities and the other one seven!!!! Dr O'Keeffe never spotted one cavity in three years!!

Brilliant dentist

January 13, 2011

I have just had an emergency appointment at this surgery and private treatment after. It was the most positive experience I have ever encountered at a dentist. I was seen quickly, on time, friendly and understanding staff and explained the procedures very clearly.

One of the reviews below almost put me off attending - but is it really a dentists fault that they have met their NHS quota? No. If you are concerned about NHS treatment then contact your local PCT and direct your complaint there or find an NHS dentist who has not met their quota - this information is easy to find.

I now look forward to my future dental treatment at St George's and will be advising my friends of the top class dental treatment I received there.

I can't stress how much the dentist put me at ease and the high standard of care I received.

St Georges Dental - Clarification

July 01, 2010

Further to our previous submission, for sake of clarification and the avoidance of doubt, we would like to add the following: "Everyone is entitled to dental treatment under the NHS and that the NHS provides all the treatment necessary to secure and maintain oral health. There are some treatments (mainly cosmetic) that are not normally available under the NHS and a patient may chose to have these provided PRIVATELY. You may also chose to have some treatment provided PRIVATELY as an alternative to NHS treatment. Most dentists have a contract which gives them a fixed capacity to provide NHS treatment and are required to work within this capacity. If you have difficulty in finding a dentist who will provide your treatment under the NHS you should contact your local Primary Care Trust who may be able to provide you with a list of dentists in your area who are currently accepting patients under the NHS."

Professional Care & Personal Servic

June 25, 2010

All dentists are limited in the dental care that they can provide to restrictions in funding. Here at St Georges Dental we provide the highest levels of professional care and a personal service and we are always sorry when expectations are not met. Sometimes we simply just can't provide treatment due to funding issues and we are always in open dialogue with the PCT over this matter. Notwithstanding, we provide emergency care every day to anyone who calls irrespective of whether they are our patients or not.

Poor patient care

December 07, 2009

Just about the worst patient care I have ever experienced.
The practice claims to be kind and considerate towards nervous patients or patients with medical problems, not at all, be aware this dentist is not trained to todays high standards,is arrogant and not interested in your condition if it affects his work and will pass you over to any other dentist. I am thoroughly disappointed in the NHS system if this sort of attitude is accepted. Over the years I have paid in over £40,000 into NI and only seem to come across NHS dental practices that treat people with disdain.
