I would like to complement The Craiglockhart Dental Practice for their outstanding customer service. From Nadia at reception, always with a confident smile putting me completely at ease and her impressive efficiency to Patricia who is professional and business like ( in a good way, explaining the procedures and what is going on) . As an extremely nervous patient Patricia is able to make me feel at ease and her patience, often stretched by me I am sure, is calming and sympathetic. The dental nurse too is quick to help and shows concern when I show signs of nerves.Thank you for such a positive experience

I had quite a few appointments taking a couple of months and can honestly say that the service was fantastic. The receptionist was efficient and the dental nurse and dentist very kind, gentle and professional at all times. They were really all lovely and I would definitely recommend this practice. I had a very positive experience and am delighted with the end results . J. MacK.
