I am a disabled nervous patient that doesn’t let you know how nervous or unwell I am.. I have been to the Crewkerne practice today for the second time . I can’t believe how lovely also reassuring this dentist is. I had a marvellous caring experience with dentist Melvin and dental nurse Shahry they couldn’t have been more helpful also considerate to someone who does suffer with nerves going to the dentist if they tried . What excellent dentists they are and so professional and genuinely just lovely people. I would recommend this practice highly. Thank you for making me feel at ease and welcome, Melvin and Shahry .

Had an appointment with the hygenist. I had fillings apparentley without drilling. My mouth was cut and a blood blister appeared.. A dentist was called " Don't worry sweetheart. rinse with corsodyl!!!! Never again. Trying to sell private treatments. They need stopping..1 star is too much..

I registered for havant dentistry for you after I heard they were taking on NHS patients. It has been a disaster from start to finish. I first enquired using a form on their website, I then got a response from "havantdfy@gmail" saying they were taking on NHS patients and if I could send my personal details. Since I had not long put the enquiry through on their website, I didn't think anything of it and sent my details. Within the next couple weeks, multiple accounts got hacked, which tells me they have an issue with their security system so be careful!

I then had my first appointment with a dental therapist. Just 3 weeks prior, I had an appt with my private dentist who had done xrays and a full check up. They picked up nothing. But apparently in the space of 3 weeks, I had multiple cavities and needed a root canal. The therapist was also incredibly rude, stating multiple times I needed to sort my diet. I told her that I am very conscious of my diet and have endometriosis which can inflame the gums. It was like talking to a brick wall, she just kept reiterating that I needed to sort my diet, which then annoyed me so much. Still, I went back for a hygienist appt with the same person and despite me telling her I am very strict with my flossing and again reiterating my medical issue, she still proceeded to patronise me.

Annoyingly, you have to pay a deposit up front for any appointments with this dentist too, so I had to go through a process of trying to get my money back for the apparent fillings and root canal. Something which the receptionist didn't look happy about. I can confirm that a secondary opinion from a private dentist has stated no root canal or fillings needed. I'm convinced that this is just a money maker.

Please be careful with this dentist!!

Amazing to find an NHS dentist taking on patients. The staff are amazingly helpful and polite. The dentist was excellent - kind but professional. The work carried out was first class. Would recommend them to anyone.

Want to say a massive thank you to Rajyglaxmi and Sienna for the wonderful service, polite and professional, highly recommend. Havant branch.

I have been going to this dentist for many years and had no issues. In recent years they have become unreliable. I had an urgent problem, I arranged an appointment, got to the dentist and found that they gave the appointment to someone else. with my face half puffed with a tooth ache, they had aknowledged that the mistake was theres but they did not apologies or provide any solution. Complete shamble. I have now started to look for an alternative dentist after so many years.

I have visited Dentistry For You in Forest Hill on many occasions and I have always been treated VERY well.
Today I was seen by Alkistis (Al) who was extremely thorough in her examination, professional in her approach and very informative.
I have seen the negative reviews on here which are not all at the F/Hill Surgery.
I do appreciate that you can only "speak as you find" but my personal experiences there have always been positive having been treated with professionalism and empathy on every visit.
And just for the record as it seems to be relevant to some, I am a NHS patient!!

I experienced a broken lower left molar in September 2025 and could not chew at all on the left side of my mouth. This was a highly inconvenient situation. As this happened over the weekend, I attempted some DIY fixes at home, but they kept failing. On Monday, I found that I could not visit my local dentist, but fortunately, this practice was able to see me the next day and provide a temporary solution until I could undergo a full assessment to determine if the molar needed a complete extraction or if there was an alternative. I was seen on the NHS service, and the bill came to under £30. I am very pleased with the service I received.

My husband had to pay "privately" for dental work, as there were no more NHS patient appointments left. Appalling PRIVATE PATIENT service!! Worse than my NHS dentist!! Appointment made by them for Monday. Left home, arrived at the dentist to be told dental work hadn't arrived. Returned the next day by appointment. Waited over an hour to be told dental work hadn't arrived, would you wait another ten minutes. Half an hour later would you wait 10 minutes. We left after waiting again. Eventually, and sensibly an appointment was made after the dental work arrived. Which turned out to be FRIDAY!!! Disgraceful costly private service. Dental work nothing special either. My advice: Go to a proper Private Dentist!!

Booked me for a extraction, so took half a day off of work and when I got there they had no idea what was expected, so they wanted to book me in for another day to take off work, when I asked could they guarantee that they would not waste my time on that day, they could only assume so. There was no apology .That made my blood boil so asked for my money back but they refused..These people don’t give a ……., avoid it you expect any respect as a customer.

Only good thing I can say was the actual treatment for basic NHS check-up, then polish and clean for which I was unwittingly forced to pay privately. Good treatment seems unusual for DfY. Forest Hill DfY give the impression of being pro-NHS, but don't be conned like I was. I was stuck in the dentist's chair, knowing my teeth needed a polish, when I had private fee imposed on me. I am going to contest this via NHS. Receptionist that day was toxic and judgmental, normal for DfY. Seating area covered in someone's lunch.

1 star is very generous...Took my 14 month old son to the Dentist for the first time only to receive the most, intolerable customer service I've experienced in a long time. First and foremost there was no step free access, not child friendly at all. A patient who was leaving kindly asked a member of staff to help me up the stairs which he did by carrying my son's pram up the stairs although he had a face like a slapped arse, as if them not having step free access was my fault. Secondly after attempting to report to reception and being ignored and kept waiting for a good few seconds while the receptionist and her colleagues are chatting and giggling amongst themselves. I'm eventually acknowledged being told that I need to sign registration documents, OK cool. I proceed to put my son back in his pram so I can complete the form. The same receptionist is standing at the doorway smirking whereby I state it's not very child friendly here is it." She then blanks me and walks off. There was a technical glitch on the iPad that I used to complete the form so I told her and handed it back to her; to cut a long story short she is still giggling and smirking while dealing with me. By this point I'm beyond annoyed. I told her to "Drop the attitude you're very unprofessional, stop giggling and smirking, or else this will be the FIRST and the LAST time I come back here." Then silence. On top of that the Dentist wasn't any better and obviously wanted to rush my appointment. My advice: Do not go to 'Dentistry for you', WORST Dental surgery ever they aren't FOR anyone but THEMSELVES. Rude, arrogant and nonchalant. Apart from the staff member who helped me and my son down the stairs.

Hi
I have just had implants put in by Dr Vipul Patel and i was so very nervous but the procedure went very smoothly both Dr Vipul his assistant and the receptionist were both kind and very professional.. I would rate my experience 5*.

I was referred to them by NHS111 for emergency treatment but after two tries to arrange that on their live chat have nothing back!

I had an appointment this afternoon and when I say the difference between yesterday and today is unbelievable. It's changed me and my confidence overnight. I seriously cannot rave about them enough. Seriously brilliant from reception, to leaving. Trulia amazing.

The owner of the practice is always on about money. He is investing in properties - i discovered that in Companies House. That bunch of guys surnamed Harunani were and are still more interested in properties investment than being dentists. I have been tracking them for years. They use the money sucked up from the practice to invest in properties. Check it out on Companies House yourself.

Their service is generally very poor. The Indian receptionist is not polite. Their sole aim is money-making. They give little time for everything including examination so they can make the most money with as little service as possible.

It's high time they're replaced. These are rubbish dentists scammers without conscience - criminal grade.

The Harunanis are scammers, fraudsters.

The worst dental practice I have ever known. I went to the Maldon branch branch for an emergency check on my broken tooth. I was told there was an infection and that tooth needed an extraction by a specialist (I thought dentists were specialists. That's their job!) When after a couple of weeks I said could you please refer me so that I can go and have my tooth taken care of. I was told "Oh, you will have to come in for a full check up before we can refer you." I had just paid for the emergency check up and now I had to pay for another check up before they would proceed with the referral. What an absolute rip off! I had to ring 111 when the pain became so intense that I could not function normally. They booked me in with a dentist in Chelmsford, who quite happily ripped out the rotten tooth on that day. So where was the problem with that? Why could my dentist not do that? I am absolutely appalled by Maldon Dentistry for you (Quest) I have never been so badly treated by a dentist practice in my life. They deserve to have no patients at all. I have now moved my family to Sharrow Dental Practice in Chelmsford.

Had to go hear for emergency work, sent by 111. Got seen by kiara! Who was amazing, lovely person, very good at her job. Was clear and communicative in her explanation of everything g happening was super accommodating and most importantly treated my with dignity and care. Actually felt like a human. Wouldn’t have know I was not being treated at a private practice!

Thanks ever so much kiara!

Needed emergency NHS appointment for broken tooth, had to see a different Dentist as no appointments. Offered a cap - then informed needed a referral for an extraction. had to complain to actually see Dentist and make sure no infection due to awaiting upcoming knee operation. Referred. Referral refused by Hospital and referral accepted with another provider. The provider rang me stating it was an extraction for a wisdom tooth (I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted 25 years ago), had to request dentist to send another referral with correct tooth - informed no further referral done as it is my wisdom tooth and taken off the Dentist's list. So I have had to put in another formal complaint and am getting medical evidence that they have wrongly taken me off the list and I have NO wisdom teeth. Good Dentist until I needed emergency treatment - now have no referral for a broken tooth and no NHS Dentist.
