I have been a patient at the practice for many years and the standard of care/service is second to none. Absolutely brilliant!
Very happy with my first dental appointment. I get very nervous about dental care but I was reassured all the way through and everything was explained well to me. Very kind and caring. All staff were lovely
Dr Tayo is very good at reassuring me. I know the treatment can be difficult but she is so good I trust her. She is better than a lot of dentists I have had.
I found Dr Tayo & her staff very helpful. They talked me through everything I needed to know. I would recommend.
After many years refusing to floss, no time, not needed etc...I now do, and have had no bleeding gums since.
Very warming and welcoming. Friendly and thorough.
Dr. Atinuke-Tayo gave me an injection of local anesthetic which I did not even feel, she was so gentle & careful.
Lovely 'bed side' manner so helpful & kind
A very welcoming experience from a good team
Since seeing Dr.Tayo I no longer dread the dentist visit. I actually look forward to the visit as she is like a friend! I wish I had met her 30 years ago and I would not have lost any teeth! She has taught me so much!"
I have had a history of gum problems. Dr Feyi Atinuke-Tayo has given me really great care and advice about oral hygiene over my time as her patient. My gums have improved with following her directions and lots of work! At her recommendation I have bought and used regularly a Philips Sonicare Airfloss rechargeable water flosser which has helped with my gum health. Many thanks to all her friendly staff for their care.
