I found the practice to be a very pleasant and friendly environment while remaining very professional. All procedures were explained clearly prior to treatment starting and any advice given was and has proved very helpful. The quality of service was excellent. I felt very reassured by the care taken by all of the practice staff. The decision to move to Oakthorpe Dental Practice was indeed a wise one. All of the team members were very caring polite courteous friendly and efficient. I felt very at ease during treatments. I would not hesitate to recommend the Oakthorpe Practice to family and friends.

Prof R.J.Wilson

I have nothing but praise for Oakthorpe Dental. A tooth had become badly infected and was causing me some discomfort. After a successful cleaning-up session with the hygienist, I went to Seetal who had reserved time to extract the tooth if needed. In fact, the extraction did prove to be very necessary and was carried out very efficiently by Seetal and her assistant, with no bad after-effects. I wish to thank Seetal and her assistants, and reception who are always courteous and efficient.

Angelos

Everything was great, environment, service and personnel!

J West

I’m very happy with your service in all respects.  Reception is efficient and up-beat, Emma is a thorough hygienist, alert to emerging issues, and Seetal is both skilful and thoughtful in working her way round problems.  See you soon (but not perhaps too soon!!)

Anon

All the staff at the practice are friendly and welcoming and are good at their jobs. I was very pleased with my treatment last week.  Seetal repaired my chipped front tooth and the result is excellent.  She also managed to do my annual check up at the same time so that I don’t have to return again in October. I would definitely recommend Seetal, and my excellent hygienist Emma, to my family and friends.

Anon

The whole team are beyond terrific.  Not just in their efficiency and of course level of skill but in the “way” every member of staff interact with the patient, whether that be me… my elderly mother or my children.  From the moment you walk in at Oakthorpe dental the welcome is warm from reception, reassuring from the dental staff, clear and efficient.  I wouldn’t go anywhere else and would recommend this practice to anyone who asks.

T Maher

I was introduced to the practice a little over a year ago, the staff are friendly and helpful. The general ambiance is calm and visually attractive. My dentist was and is, first rate with a very reassuring professional manner.....perhaps the best dentist I have ever seen. A first rate practice and yes, I would recommend to friends and family, without hesitation.

Chloe

I have found Oakthorpe Dental practice to be excellent from the first. All team members that I have interacted with have been friendly and helpful, and as someone who experiences a lot of anxiety about dentistry, they have helped me feel comfortable, well informed, and overall encouraged to keep more on top of my dental-health needs. I happily refer friends and family, especially those who are nervous about the dentist!

Paul

I thought the environment was appropriate for a dental practice, the service quality was excellent, all the team members were friendly, polite and reassuring, I would recommend the practice, if asked.

Anon

Welcoming and comfortable environment. Felt well looked after by all the staff and am happy to have made the change to a local practice after 20 years of travelling further afield.

Victoria

I felt very happy with the quality of dentistry and the manner of my dentist today. She was very attentive and bright and explained everything to me clearly. I felt very nervous having had a bad experience with a previous dentist in Somerset. Kate's confidence in attitude and gentle skill with the injections helped me trust her. Yes, I would make recommendations based on my experience today.

Anon

The practice environment seems wholly positive, with welcoming premises, reception, and helpful emails for appointments -- and accessible bus routes to the City Centre. My regular appointments with Hygienist and Dentist have provided a consistently excellent quality of preventive dental care over the years. Every member of the team whom I have met at the practice has been friendly, kind, and reassuring. I would gladly refer friends and family, but alas at my age – I and my teeth have outlasted nearly all!

Anon

The practice environment I have no complaint’s, the Quality of service GOOD, the Manner of team members is PROFESSIONAL & FRIENDLY, I would consider referring friends and family.

Victoria C

The practice environment: Very nice. · Quality of service: Excellent. · Manner of team members: Very good. · Whether you would consider referring friends and family, Yes, definitely. I was particularly pleased that I was given an appointment almost immediately when I called about the new dental problem that I had. Thank you very much.

James

I would have no hesitation in recommending Oakthorpe Dental to friends and colleagues. The dental work I’ve had was excellent. The practice is conveniently located with good bike racks outside and ,importantly, the staff are friendly and efficient.

Anon

I found the general environment very light, comfortable and relaxing.  The quality of service was first class.  I was able to get an appointment quickly  when I really needed it; the dentist who treated me was gentle, very proficient and approachable;  the hygienist very thorough.  All team members performed their roles very well and I have recommended the practice to my husband and several friends.

Gethen

Everyone was really friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Jill

Whenever I call with a query or need an appointment I am helped with care and a sense that my treatment is important. I experience this with the dentists who treat myself and my family too - without exception they are an outstanding team. I always find the staff at Oakthorpe dental professional and transparent about treatment plans. The reminders about appointments that come through via email are extremely helpful. My children enjoy coming for their appointments and each dentist and dental nurse has been great at accommodating my daughter who has complex needs.

Anon

The practice environment is pleasant. The quality of service has in my experience been excellent. The manner of the team members has been friendly and professional. I have sent my wife to the practice too and have no other local friends/family who I would refer to dentists.

Lyndall G

I am happy to visit Kate, my excellent dentist at the practice, who is efficient, kind, gentle and friendly. I would be happy to recommend her and the always pleasant assistants to others.

Anon

I continue to be extremely happy to be a patient at Oakthorpe Dental Practice. The waiting rooms are cheery and comfortable, the treatment is dealt with in a gentle and informative way and I feel it is good value for money. I would certainly recommend the Practice to family and friends. It is also very helpful having parking spaces next to the building.

Anon

My husband and I have been visiting Oakthorpe on the recommendation of a friend, since we moved into Oxfordshire eight years ago. The reception staff are friendly and welcoming and efficient. The waiting areas are comfortable. Our dentist, Setal, is very professional, she explains each part of a procedure and is most reassuring. We have every confidence in her. I have no hesitation in recommending the practice to friends and family.

Harvey B

I am writing to say how much I appreciate my treatment at your dental centre. Both my hygienist Sarah Lloyd-Jones and my dentist Kate Anderson are charming mixtures of
friendliness and competence. They are clearly devoted to their jobs and I am grateful for their interest in my well-being. I also find the support staff very pleasant to deal with. I would certainly consider recommending the practice to friends (no children in Oxford!)

Liz P

This is to commend you highly as a very satisfied patient of Sateel and of the whole team - you are so warm and friendly, and accommodating - the quality of service is first classs and
the service very friendly and compassionate. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sateel and the practice to anyone - the dentistry is superb. Many thanks

Caroline

Oakthorpe Dental has extremely easy access, right in the middle of Summertown, with on- site parking. The atmosphere of the practice is very friendly, calm and reassuring. Three generations of our family (from 84 to 4 years old) regularly visit the practice and one member of the family has had substantial work done this summer. The quality of dental work is outstanding, we couldn’t be happier with the end result. The dental service is also incredibly efficient, there is never a delay and we are always seen promptly, if not early. The entire team is very helpful, warm-hearted and understanding. They really care. We endlessly recommend our friends and family to attend the practice.

Tony

I have used Oakthorpe Dental Practice for well over twenty years. In all that time I have found them to be effective, reassuring and, most importantly, a pleasure to deal with –
especially considering the nature of their work! Seetal (dentist) and Emma (Hygienist), together with all the staff at the practice, always make you feel welcome and comfortable – even if, like me, you are very apprehensive when you visit. I would thoroughly recommend Oakthorpe.

Anon

Always friendly, helpful, and highly professional.

Anon

· Practice environment: clean, welcoming, friendly, calm.
· Quality of service: consistently good, though clinical staff sometimes make critical comments.
· Manner of team members: with one exception (who was repeatedly difficult to deal with) they are professional and supportive.
· Whether you would consider referring friends and family: I have just referred my partner to the practice.

Anon

We’ve used Oakthorpe Dental for some years now.  All of the dentists we’ve seen have been kind, friendly and patient with our daughters, and the girls aren’t ever worried about visiting for check ups. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the practice to friends.

Matthew

I was very pleased with the prompt and sensitive service I received last week. My problem was fixed with the minimum of fuss. I would have no problem recommending the practice to anyone who lives in the area.

AT

I have been a patient of the dental practice since 1975 when I was a student and the practice was in St John Street in Oxford. I moved to Edinburgh in 1991 and then York, returning to Oxford in 2004. We valued the professional support of Mr and Mrs Davies and the transition to the new team has been incredibly successful. Proof of our appreciation is that we have stayed with the practice since moving to living near Stratford Upon Avon in 2011. There is always a professional welcome, high quality treatment and efficient booking and reminders.

Jim Day

The service is always very good at the Practice, and I have been with them for something like 30 years when Stuart Davies had it. The connection there was rugby and I know he had a great business. Seetal has done a great job putting her own stamp on it and the reception staff are excellent as well. I would have to hesitation in recommending.

JM

Excellent in all aspects.

MS

The practice, office and treatment rooms are well lit and exceptionally clean and tidy. I only attended for a consultation with no treatment involved but Kate and Nicole were very pleasant and appeared to be extremely professional and competent. I would be very happy to recommend the practice to others and my wife will be attending shortly.

Anonymous

I have always been pleased with the treatment and services I have received from Oakthorpe Dental. Appointments are kept on time, all members of the staff are courteous and friendly and the advice I am given seems, by the results, to be good. I have recommended Oakthorpe to several people in the past and shall continue to do so.

Anonymous.

I had my first appointment with the team at Oathorpe dental in June 2024. The team were very professional and friendly. I felt at ease, my questions were answered, and I was given great advice on how to address my dental issues at home. I would recommend this practice to friends and family.

Yours faithfully, Prof DRG

I am a huge fan of your dental practice. The practice environment is excellent. Quality of service is always excellent. The manner of team members is always very good Whether you would consider referring friends and family - I have done so already

Siamon Gordon

I am happy to affirm that all the staff at the Oakthorpe Dental Practice have delivered excellent care on all points. My family and I appreciate the professionalism of the three dentists and their assistants, and certainly would recommend it to others. The facilities are pleasant and the reception staff welcoming and efficient.

Paul

I have always got appointments when I needed them, the treatment has been excellent and appropriate. The surgery rooms if that’s what they are called very well equipped, offering the latest treatments.
The staff as always, polite and helpful. Indeed, Kate, your dentist lady, has gone out of her way recently, to help me with a problem more oral than strictly dental and I am extremely grateful.

Priscilla

I was extremely satisfied with the treatment I received. The receptionist is always extremely friendly when I phone to make an appointment. Seetal Patel is an excellent dentist and I have been pleased with the dental care she has provided. The hygienist Sarah has also been extremely thorough at the two appointments I've had with her.

Nicole

I cannot believe how kind all the staff working at Oakthorpe are. The pain I was experiencing in my tooth was one of the worst pains I’ve ever experienced, and for it to be dealt with the same day with the care and compassion I received was incredible. Siddhika was so supportive and excellent at calming me down throughout the procedure. I am now smiling again and finally pain free. I’ve also had a nights sleep which is just bliss!!! There is nothing on this earth I could do that would thank you all enough.

James

The practice environment is really lovely: clean, uncluttered. The waiting rooms are comfortable. All of the staff are friendly and professional, and the service I’ve had has been prompt and really excellent. I’d definitely recommend to friends and family (you already look after my two sons).


I’ve lived in Oxford for 16 years and have really struggled to find a local dentist that I’m happy with - very happy to have found you.

R. B.

· The practice environment: No problems here; since I live in Thorncliffe Road it is exceptionally convenient, while the internal space is pleasant and large enough.
· Quality of service: This has always been excellent, including in recent years a couple of implants and the odd extraction.  Regular visits to the hygienist have proved highly effective. Reminders of appointments are now very efficient.
· Manner of team members: Always very friendly and helpful.
· Whether you would consider referring friends and family: I would certainly do so.

L.R.

I am always made welcome at the clinic and all treatment is done with professionalism and care.  
I feel confidant that I am in good hands.

Anon

I found the dentist (Kate) friendly and warm in manner. She traced the problem with a back molar very quickly and sympathetically and answered all my questions. The replacement filling was put in very professionally and weirdly it felt much better when it was done!! How good is that.


The receptionist was great also- she has the patience of a saint sorting out complicated dates for appointments on the phone. This would have driven me mad. She was also very kind in helping a patient work out her travel problems when the bus gates come in. It was very hot but she coped. 


On the environment - I like the house and the sitting areas with their interesting pictures. It is also spotlessly clean which I appreciate. The actual surgery rooms seem up to date with equipment etc although I am not qualified to judge.


I would recommend the practice to my friends. A major drawback for them is the cost of treatment. I am not sure if there is a solution . My last dentist treated our kids on the NHS which helped and so we didn't mind paying privately.

Anon

It would be a stretch to say I look forward to visiting, but I do have to admit it’s always a far more pleasurable experience than I fear and in such a comfortable environment, the staff are just wonderful, always providing an exceptional, kind and most importantly, painless experience.


The team are courteous and friendly to the point that its bordering on enjoyable and a big shout out to Kate my dentist, Sarah my hygienist and Nicole who’s just always there in the background. Thank you one and all, I have referred many friends to your practice.

Anon

The practice is excellent and I have used the services for over 30 years (even though I no longer live in Oxford). It offers a high quality of service and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend it to family and friends.

Anon

My wife and I have been with the Oakthorpe Road Dental Practice for a good many years. We have recommended it to friends new to the area, and we would willingly do so again. Seetal Patel is the excellent leader of an impressive team, and the skill of the dentists is matched by the professionalism and pleasant manner of the entire staff

Phillip Kelly

· The practice environment - The surgery is always clean / comfortable / I particularly like the artwork (paintings) / a
relaxing environment as far as I am concerned


· Quality of service - The service that I receive is always excellent – Reception, answering my calls is both friendly &
efficient + most helpful + Seetal (Dental) & Sarah (Hygienist) provide first class care & attention


· Manner of team members - The two members of the team who I know most – Mel (who I have known for many
years) is absolutely brilliant! – She is always welcoming + friendly & most helpful – also Kaylee (who I haven’t known
for long) she is an excellent recruit & is also welcoming / friendly & most helpful – Both Mel & Kaylee are excellent
ambassadors for the practice


· Whether you would consider referring friends and family - I would have no hesitation in recommending the practice
to my friends – My sister & her husband Michael already attend the practice


I am very appreciative with the friendly welcome + care & attention that I receive from Oakthorpe Dental Practice

KE

The practice environment has been entirely acceptable, with comfortable and relaxed waiting areas and appropriate treatment rooms. I have total confidence in the dental work undertaken and advice given, and the
reception staff and those who have treated me are unfailingly cheerful, helpful and pleasant. I have certainly given details of the practice to others and will continue to do so.

RK

From the start your friendly and super helpful reception, made me feel welcome and took their time to make it easy for me. This was the same when it came to the Dentists and their
assistants. I felt that I wasn't rushed through and that time and care over the detail was given proper attention. Everyone was super friendly and I felt quite relaxed, something that I couldn't say about some of my previous dental experiences. So, I'm looking forward to the rest of my treatment and am confident that I can expect more of the same.

DA

I have found this practice to be first class.  They have always given me good advice, treatment and service.  I have recommended them to friends who have also been happy with the prompt service and treatment

TG

The practice environment:  Just as required
Quality of service :  Excellent on every occasion

The staff are very friendly, hygiene is outstanding.

Dr V Withnell

We registered at Oakthorpe Dental Practice when we moved to Oxford two years ago having
received lots of glowing reviews from other mums at the boys' new school.   
Our treatment throughout has been fantastic. Kaylee on reception is incredibly on the ball, very
helpful and lovely with my children.
Kate is calm, knowledgeable and wonderful with both my husband and I and our children.  She has
dealt equally well with routine queries as well as more complex issues.  When we arrived one of my
children had recently been discharged from the Maxillofacial surgeons and Kate spontaneously
offered an extra review to keep an eye on things which I really appreciated.
A friendly, professional and very knowledgeable team who I cannot recommend highly enough.

M Charnock

I was very pleased with the service I received, both on the telephone and timely appointment, 
And then I was particularly delighted with the service and treatment and approach from Seetal Patel
I would certainly recommend her if approached. 
The practice has a very calm and friendly atmosphere.

Hannah

I called up first thing in the morning for an emergency appointment and was able to be seen that
day. Kaylee clearly talked me through options and prices on the phone and then on arriving at the
practice was lovely and welcoming. I was seen on time and the dentist I saw, Kate Anderson, talked
my through all my options, provided advice and reassurance. The care from everyone I interacted
with, made such a difference and would strongly recommend them.

George

My second appointment with Kate. Charming efficient and most of all, really helpful with advice.

Anon

I’m very happy to state that Oakthorp Dental Practice provides a good environment, agreeable and caring staff providing a professional service and I’d be happy to and do recommend to friends and family.

WG

The practice environment is very friendly and welcoming.
Quality of service is excellent. The manner of team members is informal but professional in the best way
Whether you would consider referring friends and family : definitely!

Kate

On Monday I had a tooth extracted. I was so nervous. All the staff were super friendly and put me at ease.
The atmosphere at the surgery is very calm and nice. All the staff have a lovely manner and are very professional.
The quality of service is exceptional. I would 100.% recommend this practise to all my friends and family

K. Benda

I have been a patient with Oakthorpe Dental for 25 years. It’s an excellent practice - calm and clean environment, extremely friendly, courteous and professional team. Can’t recommend Oakthorpe Dental enough.

Anne Prince

There is a warm and welcoming atmosphere when you arrive at the surgery. The decor is calming and comfortable, with colourful artwork around the walls.
My own experiences are with my dentist, Seetal, her nurse Mel and my hygienist Sarah. I have implicit trust in them all and thank them for their wonderful care over many years.
All of the staff try to make any appointment a pleasant, friendly experience by making you feel so at ease with informal chat, reassurance and gentle, unhurried care.
Would highly recommend to anyone.

Anon

I have been fortunate to have Oakthorpe Dental and its predecessor practices as my dentist for
many decades.
The practice is always clean, bright and welcoming.
I feel wanted and I am always looked after very well.
I am confident in the high quality of care I receive.
I have recommended the practice to friends and colleagues in the past and will continue to do so.

Ian

with Sarah as my hygienist.
Throughout that time I have always had good treatment and a friendly reception.

about booking an appointment and then the reminders about appointments
2. Quality of service - Excellent
3.Manner of team members - Friendly and efficient. I find Kate especially easy to get on with and like
her empathetic approach.

Many thanks

Sue

The practice environment, the quality of service and manners of the entire team are exemplary. I
was very grateful to be fitted in so promptly after losing part of a filling only this week, Dr Patel was
professional and reassuring and explained every step, her assistant also. I would have no hesitation
in recommending the practice to friends and family.


Sue

Anon

I’m very happy with the practice and would definitely recommend it to friends.
In particular, I’m very grateful to Sid. She clearly put a lot of care and attention to a tricky composite
she did for me, and she nailed it. It’s a work of art! I’m very satisfied with it, and I’m not easily
satisfied. Thank you, Sid!


Anon

Sue

Just to thank you all for the brilliant response to my acute dental emergency. All 3 dentists were excellent and you were able to provide 3 appointments on the day over 4 days to sort out the issue.
All the best
Sue

Peter

I am very happy with the service, congratulations to the excellent professional staff at all levels, and I
would definitely recommend the practice to everyone, keep up the good work, best wishes, Peter

Anonymous

I’ve been coming to Oakthorpe since August 2022 and I find the practice is always clean, very welcoming at reception, never a dull face always smiles. It’s warm and calm which is great as I don’t really like the dentist but because of how the practice is as soon as you walk in it makes it a pleasant experience. I’ve seen Siddhika and Kate Anderson, who, at my last visit she was very friendly, clear about everything she was telling me, and her nurse Mel was lovely too. The service is top marks. I have recommended family and friends to the practice and will continue to do so.

Cathy

I would not hesitate in recommending Oakthorpe Dental Practice.

The clinic is clean, warm and inviting.All staff are friendly, helpful and professional.The service you get is outstanding from the whole team, expertly led by Seetal. Her patient care (especially with nervous ones like me!) is empathetic and calm. She is so helpful and knowledgeable, explaining all options and treatments with clarity.I have recommended family and friends, who have subsequently joined the practice.

CL

Excellent service received.

I had a difficult to reach and painful infection between molars not long before travelling to the Middle East.I was offered a very quick appointment, and the matter was dealt with very thoroughly and professionally, including a course of antibiotics that worked.Result - the matter was sorted before I left the country, so I am a very happy patient

Andrew Niblett

I believe your practice environment to be easily accessible, very clean and tidy, and calming.  

I believe your quality of service to be both highly professional yet personal. The booking system is efficient with helpful reminders, manned by charming staff and not an internet robot. The dental staff are very personable, helpful at explaining procedures, reassuring and inspire confidence. I believe the manner of your team members to be welcoming and professional. Yes I would consider welcoming a friend or relative.

Anon

I found the practice environment pleasant; the waiting area feels like a converted house, so it’s
somewhat different from my previous practice, and actually far more relaxing. Parking was available,
so that is helpful, but the practice is also not far from Summertown shops and further parking
options.


Service was very, very good. I was worried, as the need for my last visit was somewhat urgent, but
the staff were very professional, constantly reassuring, and provided information to keep me
appraised of what was happening.


I simply cannot fault the manners of the team members; Kate was excellent, I regret I cannot recall
the name of her assistant, but she was similarly good. I was concerned after the procedure, but
called by your reception staff as they said they would, and able to talk to Kate who was able to
reassure me that all was going to plan. I’ve never had this sort of follow-up before, it was highly
appreciated, a real added benefit.


I would consider referring friends and family, and have done so already (I cannot confirm if they
have followed up on my recommendation). I will certainly do so again.

Liz Jones

The whole team at Oakthorpe Dental offers warm and welcoming care and a highly professional
service. Seetal is, in my opinion, the best dentist I have ever had. She is calm, gentle and
demonstrably expert, I have complete trust in her.

So much so, that when my husband was looking for a dentist (his practitioner retired), he was only
too happy to register with Seetal, based on my experiences, and reports the same positive
experience!

Anon

The practice environment: Very pleasant and clean

Quality of service.: Excellent timing. Dentists’ check-up very short and efficient and identified no problems.  Hygienist was new to me but had read my notes and was very supportive. Additional plaque due to lack of visits over covid period was quickly dealt with. Good Advice offered on a problem with right-handed brushing. Very personable. Agreed to return to regular hygienist visits

Manner of team members: All excellent. Reception very helpful in finding old interdental system to fit my metal holder.

Have already persuaded my husband and older friend to join the practice. The latter is 94 and now leaves home rarely. except in an emergency.  He was dealt with very well.   

Graham

Fantastic service, very friendly staff, good experience throughout 

Anon

The practice environment at Oakthorpe Dental Practice is comfortable, spacious, stylish and reassuringly professional. The quality of service for my emergency extraction was excellent. The manner of team members was welcoming and friendly. I was referred to the practice by a satisfied friend and would recommend Oakthorpe Dental to friends needing private or emergency dental care.

K Benda

I can say that I have been coming to the practice for over 20 years, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I would certainly recommend the practice to friends.

On my last visit everything was impeccable. The staff were very professional and friendly. The COVID hygiene procedures were maintained, and the surgery was immaculately clean. I felt very comfortable and safe.

Daniel

The quality of service is faultless, 10/10

The manner of team members couldn’t be better. You have a great team, and it is the reason I still travel into Oxford and not found a dentist closer to home.  

I would recommend the surgery to friends and family without hesitation.

Anon

I found the service efficient, in a convenient location and with a good premises. 

 I was seen quickly and was given a helpful verbal explanation of the result of the examination. 

The bill was explained beforehand and was as expected.

I would definitely recommend the practice to others.

Ben

The service is good. I have been using the practice for 35 years I believe, and have never gone anywhere else in that time. My dentist has changed a few times but I have only had three over those years, so that seems quite good. I actually live in London but still use the practice. I like Seetal, who is professional, has a calming manner, and provides useful advice. Emma's hygenist service was also appreciated on my most recent visit (after two years - I think - of no visit, due to the pandemic). Mel's management is also good! I get regular updates from the practice and appointment reminders. Everyone has a welcoming manner when I visit.

I would certainly consider recommending the practice to friends and family.

V Bronk

I was very happy with my visit to the practice last week, and would certainly recommend it to friends and family.

The practice premises were calm and pleasant, it was very helpful to be able to park just outside. 

The dentist and hygienist were professional and friendly, and gave me confidence in their judgement, while the receptionist was polite and efficient and dental assistants seemed to be doing a good job. 

I was pleased to be advised about keeping my gums and teeth clean with interstitial brushes, and also to be able to buy replacement heads for my electric toothbrush in the practice.

Anon

  • The practice environment is very welcoming, clear signage around COVID guidelines and steps. Consulting rooms were pristine. 
  • Excellent service. I came to the practice having had a negative experience at another practice and being told I needed multiple very expensive procedures done. The dentist was fantastic, thorough and explained his findings and a plan of management which was very reassuring. 
  • Manner of team members is very friendly and welcoming - from reception staff to the dentist and hygienist everyone was really kind, communication was clear and I was made to feel welcome. 
  • I have recommended the practice to multiple friends, two of whom have already booked in for appointments.

Catherine Matthews

After my recent appointment at the dental practice, I found them, as always, very professional, courteous and careful. I would certainly recommend them.

James Foreman-Peck

Oakthorpe Dental Practice was recommended to me by a family member. I am most grateful to them, for Seetal Patel has been an immensely competent and professional dentist. Moreover, the Practice has always been pleasant to visit and has delivered an excellent service. I would certainly refer to Oakthorpe any friends looking for dentistry.

Anon

I think the Oakthorpe Dental Practice is excellent.  The waiting facilities are very comfortable and airy, everyone is always cheerful and polite and I am very pleased to be back at the practice having seen another dentist for a few years. The costs of any treatment are clearly explained in advance so there are no financial surprises.  The way the practice is run gives one full confidence in the service and I would certainly recommend Oakthorpe to friends and family.

Anon

I was delighted with the service provided. Very friendly reception, efficient and excellent dental care. Thank you

CH

From the first contact, by phone, I was impressed with the high standard of professional manners and behaviour which Seetal displayed when I explained my request for help with my teeth. 

This very high standard was also observable during the dental treatment which followed. Seetal was careful to explain each part of the process and provide a useful summary of the costs. 

When my two broken teeth were being drilled and prepared, the quality of the dentistry seemed exceptional. The replacement teeth or capping of the residual was carried out as explained and the work once finished has felt comfortable, fitting into my mouth just as before the breakage.

Anon

Having been a regular visitor to your practice for some years now, I would say:

• As well as being professional, the practice environment is welcoming and comfortable

• I have always found the quality of service to be excellent and completely confidence-inspiring (after 70 odd years of visits to the dentist I feel I am in a good position to judge)

• I regularly recommend the practice to family and friends.

The practice environment is always spotless, pleasant and attractive.  (I particularly enjoy looking at the artwork on the walls, which helps me to relax before an appointment!)   All the staff are friendly and approachable.  Seetal is a kind, professional dentist who takes time to explain procedures and calm one’s nerves in a quiet, confident manner which is very reassuring.  The treatments I have undergone over several years have been carried out carefully, painlessly and with complete competence.  Emma my hygienist is very personable and always thorough and gentle with the cleaning process. I could not be happier with the service and would have no hesitation in recommending this practice.
