Testimonials

Following our respective courses of dental treatment in 2004 for me and 2005 for my husband we both felt we wanted to submit a contribution to your testimonials book.
As we all know a sharing of common interests is a good thing in a marriage, especially as you get older – me 55 and himself 59. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of fears; spiders and dentists (and not necessarily in that order either)
And so it happened; following more years of neglect than I would ever admit to, the inevitable need to seek dental treatment arrived for me in 2004 and Peter this year.
Your friendly environment and professional service saved the day for both and over that course of treatment we were reassured and put completely at ease, for which we are most grateful. We would recommend the practice without reservation.
So, having completely cured us of our dental phobia – any ideas about the spiders?

As a very nervous patient, I really appreciate the care, patience & professionalism of Dr Malcolm Harbour & his staff. All of the staff are very considerate & understanding, and I would not wish to treated by anyone else.
In all honesty, I cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

Just a short note regarding the recent dental work you undertook.
As you know, it took me quite a while to decide to go ahead, but your guidance and encouragement was a big factor in my decision.
I am very pleased with the result – a happy, smiling patient!

Due to a referral to hospital and the subsequent need for an operation, I needed to seek urgent dental treatment.

I had not been to a dentist for many years and although I had not neglected my teeth by cleaning I had not had regular check-ups and I needed treatment. The thought of going to a dentist was my worst nightmare.

On my first visit to extract a tooth, Malcolm Harbour was incredibly caring and very professional. He took time to talk to me about my fears and because of his calm and sensitive nature I agreed to treatment. Malcolm made me feel at ease although I have to say I was terrified. He explained that I need not feel any pain and that I only had to say if I felt uncomfortable in any way and that he would stop and I could have a break. The dental nurse was also very supportive making me feel comfortable.

The tooth was extracted and I felt no discomfort and quite proud of myself that I had gone through with it. This was completely down to how I was treated and my trust in Malcolm to inform me all the time of what he was doing and that I need not feel anything.

After six more visits, I have now completed my treatment and do not need to go for another six months. I can honestly say I would not have been able to manage overcoming my fear if it had not been for the friendly supporting staff and the caring way that Malcolm Harbour runs his practice.

It is just a week since I had my tooth taken out and I just wanted to thank you.
Never having had a tooth out before and being a really awful nervous patient I was dreading having my tooth out. However, having had several days of really terrible pain, I decided that the time had come.
Having put me at my ease it really was very simple and all I was left with was a bit of a tender mouth & jaw for a few days, from which I have now fully recovered.
Needless to say I would never worry about having a tooth out again.

With thanks and best regards.
