Macca came out to sort out a loud noise that was coming from upstairs. I was notified by text of timings. He was such a polite young man and knew what he was doing. He didn’t take any shortcuts and even though it was 5pm he kept working until the job was finished. 100% recommend this company. Macca is a credit to your company.

The team at Oakley are fantastic. They have helped me completely turn around my oral hygiene. I am now much happier and more confident about my teeth and gums! I have recently moved out of the area but I still use Oakley despite the 1hr commute each way.

I am currently on my SureSmile journey with Mel to sort out my crooked teeth and it’s been a positive experience and I am starting to see results. If you need a great dental practice with caring staff this is the place to come.

As a 26 year old guy, having not been to the dentist in 4 years, I can certainly say the service right from booking was exceptional. My first consultation today, along with X-rays and a clean, and thankfully nothing wrong. William is amazing and treats you with care, passion and is very gentle. I have my next appointment to book for 6 months time for a hygienist and I am looking forward to coming back. Thank you to all of you.

I think I am one of the few people who quite enjoys going to the dentist! The staff there are so welcoming and friendly. We even have sing-a-longs in the surgery (Michelle). I highly recommend this practice. I have been going here for years. Xx

Because of long standing tooth problems I use St Cuthbert's extensively for both dentistry and dental hygiene. I am extremely satisfied with the service I have had over quite a number of years. This has included extractions, fillings, the fitting of crowns and the manufacture of a dental plate. All the work has been done efficiently and well. I rate the practice as 5 star.

Problem with previous dental practice in Petersfield, leaving part of instrument inside my molar. Nikos Louskos, St Cuthbert's Dental Practice Winchester, is the man to see. First class. Explained everything, kind gentle and thoughtful. Can't fault him or his team.

I have used St Cuthbert for many years and have always found all the team (both technical and reception staff) to be welcoming and friendly and quick to put you at ease. Extremely professional both in their technical work and their communication, flexible in arranging urgent appointments, always ready to help, I can't praise them highly enough. Donna does a great job looking after my dental hygiene and I met Camilla today; friendly and professional, I have no doubt I am in good hands. Highly recommended.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service we received at this dental practice, particularly from the outstanding dentist, Elsa. When my son had a dental emergency, chipping half of his tooth off, the staff at the surgery were nothing short of amazing. We were promptly offered an emergency appointment on the same day, which immediately alleviated our concerns. Elsa's expertise and skill were truly remarkable. She not only efficiently repaired the damaged tooth but did so with such precision that it was impossible to tell it had ever been chipped. The restoration was perfect. Beyond her technical proficiency, Elsa's kindness and consideration towards my son were noteworthy. She handled the situation with the utmost professionalism, making the experience as comfortable as possible for my child. Our family is genuinely grateful for the prompt, expert, and compassionate care provided by Elsa and the entire team at this dental practice. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch dental care.

Lee and the team have helped me a couple of times now. First to sort out the plumbing to install my dishwasher and more recently to fix my leaky shower. They have a great attention to detail and a genuine care to give good customer service. With some services I feel a bit undermined or bamboozled but Lee and the team are personable, relatable and most importantly… they always turn up and get the job done! I couldn’t recommend them enough.

I rang LDA plumbing as my sink was blocked and I couldn’t clear it. He arrived quickly and did a great job getting things moving. My pipes were blocked with years of build up which he cleared and replaced without a fuss and mess. Would definitely recommend and use again.

I needed a plumber who was experienced in handling macerators, to sort out my mother's one in her bathroom. I chose LDA because they had good feedback. Lee arranged to visit and look at the job required. He was super with my very elderly mother, reassuring her that it could all be fixed. Although the job wasn't urgent, Lee went above and beyond to get it replaced and the new one installed. It is so good to find local tradesmen, who are reliable and are good with their customers too. Thank you to LDV and Lee that was a super job!

I and my family have been attending Ferry Dental Centre since 2022 with various dental issues and had only positive experience. Dr Iuri helped me with a number of dental issues including some complex reconstructions with onlays. He always took time to explain all the details and options available and I would like to express special thanks for his patientce and persistence in advising and explaining the importance of a night mouthguard for me. Dr Dennis is a brilliant specialist in dental implants, can only highly recommend him. Hygienist Yustin was superb in providing prophylactic and periodontal treatment. Assisting nurses were lovely and attentive. Reception team was always pleasant and welcoming with bookings and paperwork sorted timely and efficiently. I would like to emphasize high standards of dentistry and hygiene that Ferry Dental Team adheres to, including offering extensive new patient exam, using X-ray, dental microscope, rubber dams and modern materials and techniques. Keep doing great job!

After many years of neglecting my teeth and an almost phobic fear of dentists, a very bad toothache brought me to Ferry Dental after reading so many reviews of so many dentists in Southampton…. and I’m so glad I did! From the moment you enter the waiting room, the ambient, crisp clean decor, the welcoming and kindness of the reception staff, the subtle, calm music, in fact, the whole aura of Ferry Dental exudes a professional calmness, which all helps to quell the nerves, even mine… and that took some doing! All my appointments have been punctual, which really helps when you’re so nervous. Dr. luri Coev quickly got to the root (literally) of my pain and after xrays , showed me the extent of my problems but in such a calm, quiet, matter of fact way, I felt safe with his knowledge and expertise. He took so much time explaining my options and costs before we came up with a plan, that I came away feeling positive. Scared but positive. Since that first consultation, I have had several extractions, partial dentures made and fitted and now awaiting splints to hold some of my remaining loose teeth for a while longer. I was terrified about the extractions but my fears were totally unfounded, thanks to a combination of Dr. luri’s expertise and the support of his wonderfully kind dental nurse, who literally held my hand on occasions. I’ve also had two periodontal sessions with the equally professional Justine and her nurse. After years of neglecting my teeth, Justine took every care, checking all the time that I was alright, never rushing and so gentle, showing me and explaining what needed to be done. What is also so reassuring, is the courtesy of a follow up email within the first 24/48 hours, checking that all's well and there aren't any problems. In my seven decades of dental treatment, I have never felt so reassured. The whole team at Ferry Dental are so professional and approachable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Absolutely first class dentistry!

I’m not usually a fan of going to the dentist, but this visit completely changed my experience. From the moment I walked in, the reception team was so lovely—they explained everything in detail and made sure I felt comfortable while waiting. The dentist was incredibly professional, friendly, and truly listened to all my concerns. He took the time to explain every possible option and provided a clear recommendation on what would be best for me. I’m really pleased with the care I received and would highly recommend this practice to everyone looking for a trustworthy and reassuring dental experience!

Ferry Dental has amazing dental services. They explain the process thoroughly, solve all the questions, very precise working, calm environment and experience as a patient. Excellent professionals and equipment. I had a visit today for endodontics and cleaning and I was impressed by all those details, I really recommend them.

Rating: 5 / 5

Every visit I am greeted with smiling faces and very high levels of professionalism and competence. Additional follow-ups have been provided free of charge when I would have expected to pay for. Going to the dentist is a pleasure, and I can’t praise the practitioners highly enough.

In the 2 years I've been coming to you and with my history of a very bad fear of dentists that started before I was 5 and from that experience my fear has stayed with me for over 60yrs everyone has been so understanding and helped me through some what for me has been traumatic treatment, it hasn't rid me of my fear but has enabled me to control it better so thankyou all for that. So I would recommend that anyone whose been in my situation and is also suffering with their anxiety or fear of dentists and I know there are many of you give these people a try as they will take very good care of you

Dr Gillan was amazing. So patient through what turned out to be quite a difficult extraction. I have never felt more comfortable or confident in a doctor’s abilities, and I’m really glad that I ended up here! Best service I have ever received in a dental practice

I am absolutely terrified of Dentist. I have had some horrible experiences in the past so today going in to smilemakers on Hamble lane i was very anxious but Saadiq and Morgan made me very comfortable and friendly explained what they were going to do and made me feel at ease. Highly recommend them.😃

This is by far the best dentist I have been to. I have a severe needle phobia and bad experiences in the past with dentists made me nervous. Nikos and he's assistant was amazing telling me what they were doing each step of the way and have the patience of a saint. Bernice was fabulous at giving me the information and reassurance inbetween appointments. I finally have my smile back after an accident broke my tooth in half, thank you smile makers!

Very happy after invisalign treatment, whitening and bonding. Melina & Jade were the best! Jason was exceptional too. Very friendly, extremely professional and the results are worth every penny. From start to finish everything about Smile Makers is fields ahead of previous dental experiences.

Lovely welcome from the Reception staff. Best Hygiene clean I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried a few places) from the wonderful Olivia and assistant Clarissa. So thorough, professional, knowledgeable and gentle. Already booked next clean. Immaculately clean practise/premises. Plenty of free parking.

This company was so helpful. Phone answered straight away. Understood the issue. Phoned back with time estimate for coming out and arrived within that time. Went through the issue and they explained what they needed to do and got on with it. Payment was easy and responded quickly with invoice. Very pleasant. Would highly recommend especially in a situation where I had a gas pipe that had been badly knocked but not leaking.Thank you.

Excellent service, plumber came in less than 24 hours. Went to get parts, back in 10 minutes, fixed the flush in about 40 minutes. Super job, would definitely use them again.

Very happy with the service. Terry was very helpful on the phone when arranging the appointment. Jamie (the plumber) arrived on time. He was reassuring, professional and friendly. He did an amazing job and the issue was sorted within half an hour. Would definitely use Prestige again for any plumbing needs.

Rating: 5 / 5

Fantastic service from beginning to end. Jamie was a pleasure to have in my home. He replaced a bath and added a shower. Job was completed to a very high standard. Work space was always clean. This is the 3rd time using Prestige Plumbers and I wouldn't use any one else. Thank you for a fantastic job.

Fantastic workmanship, replacing the flush system on my toilet where the cistern is housed in a unit. The top of the unit would not come off so Jamie only had the smallest of spaces to fit everything in via the upper front panel. He even re-fitted the piping to the right of the cistern so there was now a valve. Top guy and top job! The photo is how Jamie found it and the little access space he had to complete the work inside. Thank you so much! Mike
