Patient Reviews

Rachel Gilbert: I felt completely at ease with Neha during my hygienist appointment. She clearly explained the process and what I need to do to improve my dental hygiene. She has a very positive, happy approach and I can honestly say it’s the first time I have ever felt relaxed at the Dentists. Thank you Neha!


Michelle: I visited Bushey dental surgery for my hygienist appointment. Neha was amazing. It was the best hygene experience. Painless and i have booked another appointment. I felt so at ease. The staff are always welcoming. Thank Neha
