Dr Wright was very down to earth and informative about the procedure. She was reassuring about any potential issues that can happen with the type of procedure I had and how to tackle them if needed. I immediately felt relaxed and confident in her ability to handle any complications that could have arisen. Dr Wright has the most approachable bedside manner with the ability to make patients felt at ease right away and I would recommend her to anyone looking to undergo dental work.
Came to have a tooth extracted. Dentist could not have done any more to explain what was going to happen and what to expect post extraction. She took her time while removing the tooth ensuring I was not in any pain.
Fiona was both friendly and professional. The procedure went well and I didn't feel any pain. All questions answered very clearly. Explanations about post-surgery care very detailed and helpful.
Dr Fiona was very reassuring and was very accomadating with my anxiety and fear of needles
Superb! Completely put me at my ease and really nice humour and interaction throughout my appointment.
My son had a surgical extraction and the procedure was very calm and relaxed for him. I was able to be there too, so I watched the whole procedure and was very impressed at how clean the procedure was, resulting in a positive experience and successful extraction, ahead of upcoming orthodontic work. Waiting times weren't too long, although for private treatment we had hoped to be seen a little sooner than we were. The practice staff were friendly and very welcoming and high standards were evident throughout, in terms of hygiene and care. My son has no pain and is recovering well. Dr Fiona Wright communicated well throughout with my son and made him feel comfortable and at ease.
Dr Wright was a pleasure to see, as were her team. All very engaging.
Dr Wright explained all my options to me and provided her advice. I felt well informed of recovery and genuinely very thankful for her professionalism and bedside manner.
Friendly, informative, and extremely competent. Also provided free entertainment while working!
