Sadly after many years my dentist retired but thankfully I was able to get a new NHS dentist. Sadly she left and I have had to cope with 1 loose upper crown and had to make my own dentures from two different pairs and a lot of plastic. I'm unable to eat in front of people as they are just for asthetics and fall out if I eat anything. Today a wonderful lady called Anna was so helpful and understanding, yes I still don't know when ill get any dentures as I'm on benefits but she put some faith back in me so i hope and pray ill be able to leave the house sometime this year if a NHS dentist arrives. Thankyou Anna for your kindness as my self worth is at an all time low so many thanks for keeping me on the books...

Update 05.06.24 Having to have a couple more procedures, as anyone knows who has had some horrid experiences in the past, Fran, my dentist is on maternity leave so a little nervously, I went to see her husband Alan. I have to say! Having such a pairing in my dental practice is amazing!! Fran has "warned" him about me lol and I can't thank him enough for today. With Fran helping me so much with confidence level and now Alan continuing it is just wonderful! I thank you both! 157 Dental Group, beginning with Janet Taylor (retired) who I was with for thirty years plus, who picked up my shattered confidence from a childhood scary experience....to Fran who brought me back from a horrendous experience at a dental theatre and now Alan who has also increased my confidence level yet again!!... plus...not forgetting all the girls that greet us and the other dental surgeons and nurses! You reallydo care about your patients! Thank you!! Update 10.04.2024 After a horrid experience at a referral dental surgery last year where I was left with a strained mandibular ligament and severe bruising, in which one of the dental surgeons were dismissed from that surgical place...I was panicking somewhat to know I had to have a wisdom tooth out this year...so I persuaded my dentist, Fran Campbell, who I trust implicitly to see if she would take it out. After checking x-rays of the offending tooth...she agreed. I have been today to have it extracted and she has lifted my confidence back to where it was before my bad experience!! Fran? I can't thank you enough for today, your patients are your foremost concerned and it shows. You're a star! Thank you again. Val 😊 2023 Fran has been amazing, I can't thank her enough!

My son saw Alan for an emergency appointment today and he was utterly incredible, so kind and caring in a difficult situation. Thankyou so so much for not only saving my sons smile and reattaching his front tooth, but also for how thoughtful you were when dealing with Charlie. As a mum, I couldn’t have asked for Charlie to have received better care than he did with you today, just incredible! Thankyou!

Ok, I don't like visiting the dentist...like most people! But I do like my dentist Fran Campbell. She is the consummate professional. Very down to earth and goes through all detail to make her patient feel confident in my experience. 157 should feel very proud of her skills overall!

Alan is amazing, I have had a filling and scale today without numbing injections. I had no idea this was possible, I can't speak highly enough of him. Very informative throughout the whole process constantly checking on me to make sure pain levels were at a minimum. An absolute asset to the dental group
