I’m so pleased that I joined this practice last year,when I needed some treatment the whole experience was great with charming staff and a very gentle dentist. I highly recommend them to any one like me with a nervous disposition
Patient at Together Dental Colchester
I found this practice after having not visiting the dentist for several years due to a very bad experience. I needed a lot of work doing and I was very anxious. From day 1 I was met with unfailing patience and professionalism from everyone I came into contact with, and through this I have been able to have all the work done I needed to – all of which I have been very pleased with and no problems! From reception staff to the dental nurses and dentists I could not have been treated better and I will be eternally grateful for everything they managed to do to save my teeth! I would recommend this practice to anybody, especially those who are anxious patients! – thank you!!!
