Alistair, originally from Salisbury, Wiltshire, qualified in 1991 from Newcastle University. He has been the main dentist here since 1995, and became the practice owner in 1997. He usually sees patients on a private basis and is happy to receive patients on referral for endodontic and sedation treatments.
Outside of the practice Alistair is a member of the National Examining Board of Dental Nurses and works for two weeks each year for the Mercy Ships in west Africa. Many of our dental nurses undergo intensive one to one training with Alistair so don't be surprised if you hear them getting a bit of a grilling.

Just been up to this Dentist who I have been with for years have ongoing treatment atm Richard Mason who is fantastic by the way was not in as on holiday but he referred me to the dental hospital for a tooth out and my appointment for that is Tuesday so I have an infection in it so went to see if I could get some antibiotics and they tried to charge me 22.60 for a dentist to look in my mouth for 30 seconds and write a prescription.
Absolutely disgusting and who ever the receptionist was who wouldn't back down the manager I think needs to adjust her attitude as we are the ones paying her wages

Absolutely shocking service a late cancellation of my appointment because I was in surgery!, and now refuse to see me.... Not going to last if that's how you treat patients. The receptionist also has a poor telephone and customer skills. Don't bother going here and paying for rubbish service rang and booked in the same day with another dentist and straight away the receptionist wslas 100x better

I managed to get an appointment last minute due to having really bad toothache. All of the staff were lovely especially the dentist and dental nurse both making sure I had no pain as I needed a tooth out. Instead of turning me away like some dentists would she whipped the tooth out straight away no fobbing me off to make another appointment. Thankyou!!

Whilst on holiday we needed some emergency dental treatment for my son. I called up and they said “bring him down straight away and we’ll see him”. The dentist who was lovely waited around till after their finish time. They were really helpful. Just a shame we live in London otherwise we’d sign up with them. Thanks u for ur help. Highly recommend.
