Good

  • Very nice people, very supportive (I have block braces).
  • Staff were generally helpful & responsive. Calls sometimes unanswered probably due to staff shortages.
  • Appointments were always on time & never delayed, orthodontists did a great job. However a lot of staff changes disrupted my teeth programme & I had around 3 different orthodontists throughout.
  • Clinicians seemed to change out quite a few times over the course of the treatment. Staff generally understanding & accommodating for the most part.
  • The only slight improvement we can suggest is more information about what is being done at each stage – but appreciate not everyone may want this.
