L Ziman & Associates

so far so good, had our first visit this week. Friendly, efficient, prepared to see my daughter straight away and removed some baby tooth fragments on her. Dentist was communicative and helpful. I’m taking the rest of the family next week.
And of course it helps that they are local and take NHS patients.

I’ve been using this dentist for a few years now; clearly they’re doing OK as they’ve finally updated their shabby shopfront and made it a little more professional looking; previously it was not for the fainthearted. The dentists — those who are not thoroughly disillusioned and have decided to take only private patients — are decent and good with kids, and the treatment I have had has been good (though pricey, even though I am NHS.) INdeed, they still take NHS patients on, which is unusual for today. One gripe is that as the surgery is in a large converted house, you often have to trek right to the top to see the dentist — up three floors with increasingly narrow stairs. This is not a great option for those of us with pushchairs and small children in tow
