Thanks so much to Mr Coia and his team. Extremely fast response to my problem when crown fell out. Despite their very... full diary they managed to fit me in at short notice and sort it. 2nd time I’ve had a visit during pandemic and reassured that they are doing all they can to continue to see patients whilst taking all precautions. Couldn't have wished for a better response. So fortunate to have such a fabulous dentist.🙏read more

Annibale and his colleagues are as always professional but friendly. I always feel like going to the dentist is like an... assessment - however, even if you need a wee tweak here or a filling there, it’s always done in a nice polite manner.The practice is managing extremely well with the new ways as we all need to adapt in line with the current covid pandemic. Everything is explained well and anything I didn’t understand, when asked it was explained again in a polite way.We are all learning new ways and I was nervous about attending the dentist, but as soon as I buzzed the door, I was made to feel at ease straight away.Well done and it was lovely to see you all again. Take care and stay safe.read more
