I could not recommend Dr Helen Petersen highly enough. She has a warm and friendly manner and I have never experienced a doctor so thorough in her examination etc. Dr Petersen asked so many questions whilst explaining everything throughout the visit. I came out of my consultation feeling completely reassured and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking to see an oral specialist.

Dr Petersen, is very professional, kind and caring. Dr Petersen has lots of time for you to work out what is causing the pain, and how to resolve this. I would recommend her 100%.

Incredibly professional and reassuring from the start. Everything was clearly explained from initial consultation through to sign off. The operation itself went exactly as explained and the follow up care was excellent.

Dr Helen is one of the very best consultants I’ve ever seen. She is empathetic kind and covers every detail always explaining everything. I’ve never felt in safer hands a truly lovely caring Doctor

From our first consultation with Dr. Petersen, I felt confident that my daughter would be in extremely good hands. My daughter suffers from anxiety and is extremely nervous about anything she’s not in control of, however, this was picked up in the first consultation and my daughter was consistently reassured through her entire surgery journey. Dr. Peterseb has a wonderful caring manner and is fantastic at communicating in a way that my daughter felt respected and in control. Wonderful doctor and our experience could not be faulted

A very kind caring consultant. Mrs Peterson listen and showed empathy towards my 13 yr old daughter who was very nervous about having a small cyst removed from her lip.

Our daughter had 10 teeth extracted under General Anaesthetic. Our daughter is neurodivergent and extremely anxious. At every stage Dr Peterson has been so kind and accommodating. She put our minds at rest and did everything possible to help our daughter. We are so grateful and delighted to recommend her
