A patients viewpoint

Hi Paula
It was so nice speaking to you on our last visit, and I thought I would share with you our initial observations. This was only our second visit to your practice, and as I said, myself and Pamela were so pleased with the way your team relate to their clients, and how you have created such a relaxing atmosphere from the moment you enter the clinic door. Going to the dentist can be a stressful experience for many people, it always has been for me, and can be quite a nerve racking time. However, the professional approach from your dentist and the supporting staff, helped so much to make the visit to Appledore a joy rather than a nail biting experience. Keep up the good work. Kindest regards John Rodger *************************************************************************************** I write to congratulate the centre and in particular Neale Katz. Having been a person extremely nervous of all dentistry, I have delayed work required on my bottom front teeth for about two years, some loose, some gaps, and unsightly etc, I have had splints to hold them, stick them, fill them, etc. However when Neale became my dentist we discussed stop messing about and do the job properly once and for all. This required two extractions, four crowns and in all a 6 tooth bridge, the thought of this work made me extremely anxious, and of course there was the cost this is not inexpensive work, but eventually I decided to go for it. With patience and time Neale and the staff guided me through it, almost no discomfort, and just two visits later I am the proud owner of a fabulous smile, I can bite into apples for the first time in many years, I love them, they look and feel great. The cost, yes of course it was expensive , the best often is, but I know this quality will last long after the price is forgotten, my only regret is I didn’t do this years ago. Thanks Neale John Watts *************************************************************************************** My experience with Appledore has been excellent, best illustrated by the incident when my 2-year-old son fell in the garden and chipped his front tooth. I panicked, as I was worried that he might have damaged the root. We phoned Appledore immediately, as my husband and myself are patients there, and we were told to bring our boy in straight away so they could have a look at him. Fortunately all was fine and he did not need any treatment other than soothing cream. I was so pleased that I was with Appledore and I am grateful for getting such a friendly and professional service from the staff at the clinic. Silvia Campbell *************************************************************************************** Having come from a private practise where the staff were dismissive to the point of rudeness (this included our previous dentist). Your surgery has opened my eyes to what I had been putting up with for far too long. From our first visit, we have been greeted by a friendly yet very professional approach from all the staff there. I especially liked that my toddler is encouraged and made a fuss of in the surgery, so much so that she rather enjoys going to the dentist. I would have no hesitation in recommending your service to others, and please do keep up all the good work. Best Regards Mrs J Gosling *************************************************************************************** I am delighted to write this testimonial and to recommend Appledore Clinic, unhesitatingly, to anyone. I am probably the most nervous patient in the universe, terrified of needles, drills,sharp instruments, and of feeling helpless in the dentist's chair. The dental surgeons, dental nurses and treatment co-ordinators at Appledore Clinic have helped me through my treatments with unfailing understanding and patience. It is their humane attitude, together with their dedication to using the most up-to-date and effective (and therefore gentle) equipment and techniques, which makes them what they are - the best. Yours sincerely Linda Miller *************************************************************************************** I was introduced to Appledore Clinic in Binfield by my husband in 1993 when I was acutely dental phobic having lived through sixties dentistry (the 'drill it and fill it' brigade) and was terrified of undergoing even the simplest of treatments. However, the relaxing atmosphere and the wonderful reception by Dr. Teresa Day and the staff put me at my ease, and I was very gradually persuaded that my fears were unfounded. I have had numerous dental problems, the worst being an accident at work where several of my teeth were shattered and had to be removed. Dr Day replaced the teeth with titanium implants, but for someone who was terrified of the dentist this was an ordeal of enormous proportions. My wellbeing was paramount throughout and what was an extremely traumatic time was made much easier to cope with. I am now able to visit the dentist without fear and am going to have my teeth whitened to complete my transformation. I can't recommend Dr Day, her staff and Appledore Clinic highly enough - this is state of the art dentistry as it should be - a pleasure to visit. Caroline Comerstone *************************************************************************************** "Teresa, How very glad I was to have met you back in July 2005. I can't praise Appledore enough for the way they operate, on arrival you are greeted with a lovely friendly smile and nothing is too much trouble! Explaining that my daughter has a phobia of needles, Dr Neale Katz made her feel very relaxed and talked through every element of the treatment and put us at ease totally. No longer do we have to fear the dentist, with the high tech equipment you have and the caring, professional team, it could almost become a pleasure. Thanks and regards, Cindy Cameron Thames Valley Chamber" *************************************************************************************** "The best dentistry I’ve ever experienced. Appledore did an excellent job fitting my new crown on a difficult pre-molar, and explained everything really clearly. It’s as solid as rock and feels just right. Best regards Warwick Grigg Director - Telanova *************************************************************************************** "After five years with no dentist, I decided that I would have to do something about it. In September 2005 I started the search and found Appledore…. Compared to the other dentists I was researching, Appledore stood out by miles! From the friendly greeting by the reception team, the excellent explanations of how I would be treated, all the way to the gentle style of treatment supplied by the dentist….. I was impressed! So, having realised that treatment every five years was not a good thing, I took the plunge and joined the Appledore Club…. This simple payment plan was a great investment form the very start, not only did I get a healthy discount on the 4 monthly Hygienists visits, I also got my teeth whitened! One year later, I’ve just signed up again for the Appledore club – I consider it a “no brainier”… to any one reading this I strongly encourage you to use Appledore as your dentist, if you’re anything like me you’ll be bowled over. Cheers - Paul Simpson - Master Business Coach" *************************************************************************************** 'It was a full year before anyone at work noticed that I was wearing my Invisalign, and then it was only the fact that my teeth were already looking better that made people comment. I kept a travel toothbrush and trial size toothpaste in a small bag so I could give my teeth a quick brush after meals. It has taken 3 years in total but when you consider my front teeth were almost at right angles I can't complain. It has been well worth it - day to day Invisalign is really no big deal! Stop wondering about it and get it done. I have a fantastic smile now. Thanks to Teresa especially, all the nurses and support staff'. Lesley Selby Project Director Kynetec |
