Had both lower wisdom teeth removed and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The dentist was professional, reassuring, and made the whole process feel straightforward. Everything was explained clearly, and the aftercare advice was really helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Dr Karim was great in explaining the procedure (wisdom tooth removal)and my options, going through the pros and cons of each choice allowing me to make my own decisions without any pressure. I felt I was in good hands the whole way through from the consultation to the procedure.

I had quite a nice experience under the care of Mr Kassam & his team, he made me feel safe & confident, which turned out to be true. The operation went extremely well considering the length of time it took, I woke up with very little pain & was discharged the next day. All healing up nicely now. I would like to thank all the team for the excellent work they did & for looking after me so well.

I cannot recommend Mr Kassam, Maxillofacial Consultant, highly enough. He has been absolutely amazing and truly goes above and beyond. My mother has been seeing Mr Kassam regarding an ongoing issue affecting her mouth and ear, and from the very first appointment he has been incredibly caring, approachable and reassuring. He takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly and make sure she feels comfortable and looked after. It is very clear that he genuinely cares about his patients, and his expertise and professionalism are exceptional. He has gone the extra mile on numerous occasions, and we are so grateful to have been under his care. Thank you, Mr Kassam, for your kindness, dedication and for making such a difficult situation feel much more manageable. You are a credit to your profession and we could not recommend you highly enough.
