Ian is a wonderful dentist, so caring, kind and patient...all the nurses are also always great, unfortunately I can't remember her name but this particular lady was absolutely wonderful. Reception staff also always excellent. I arrived almost crying and left laughing and smiling, what more can I say...

Extremely friendly and polite staff across the board. I'm a new nervous patient to the practice and the team put me at ease and have increased my confidence in returning.I have avoided a dentist for 5 years and was difficult to have the courage to make an appointment but the team have been great and I feel confident to return for the treatments I need. 10/10 for all team members who have made that possible for me.

Everyone knew what to do and did it well.

They are always gentle, caring and patient. They explain everything and allow you to ask any questions. They have never rushed me, or the appointment. They really genuinely care for me, so I assume thats how It is with everyone. I have no doubts that everyone else has a pleasant experience with them. The dentist is a really scary experience for some people. Yet, I no longer have any fears thanks to the dental care team at Sturminster Newton. I would like to mention specific people but I feel like thats unfair as everyone Ive spoken to has always been great.

I was really impressed by my dentist Mike's communication with me and explaining my treatment. It helped me to feel more relaxed, more involved and confident about my treatment. Many thanks

I’ve had a great experience here, I had some dental pain before I joined the practice which was resolved very quickly thanks to Emmanuel and Ian and the fantastic dental nurses. I would 100% recommend this practice

From reception to the dental nurses/ hygiene and dentists, you are made to feel welcome and relaxed as soon as you enter the premises. I have not been to a dentist in 36 years. Incredibly apprehensive. But after a year of treatment and education, my confidence has been restored, and I can smile at anyone that I meet.

It is very reassuring to have such a brilliant dentist and team. I have been having a particularly distressing problem with my teeth following sepsis and I county myself as very lucky to be able to trust that I am getting the best care possible.

I was seen promptly and given good care

I am unable to find one thing wrong with the practice. I have been a patient for several years and am completely happy with my dentist and hygeniest and all of the reception staff who are delightful, knowledgeable and helpful.

After moving to the area, I needed to find a new dental practice. I had been with my last practice since childhood, so a big move! Sturminster have provided a very good level of care, with questions re the rational for a treatment schedule explained well, leaving me able to make good, informed choices re how I wish to proceed and advice given to make theses choices confidently. As a retired person, dental care is a big expense, but I have no doubt that working with Sturminster I will continue to be able to make choices based on their excellent care.
