I recently had to attend the dentist as an emergency as I managed to loose a crown and break the tooth. I got an appointment the next day and had the remaining tooth painlessly extracted. I think that in this day and age of waiting times this is to be commended. All the staff are pleasant and friendly and NHS patients are accepted. Wether it is for that six monthly or emergency visit it can be a more painless experience at Castlebawn. (In my case if I hadn't been stealing a sneaky matchmaker I could have avoided that emergency appointment !).

There's no queues here and darn few delays. This was a private pre op visit for tests, heart trace,…read morebloods, height, weight etc all to decide fitness for surgery due next Monday morning. Once my tests were carried out over 10 minutes it was a 10 minute wait to go in to meet the (left handed) anaesthetist. The level of gentle care is notable. All in all I waited 25 minutes so in and out in under 45 minutes. He sounded chest and heart. He gave a good to go, instructed fasting from midnight Sunday and its general anaesthetic to suppress the central nervous system to controlled unconsciousness. It's the best one with two stages for the victim. First it's 'count back from 10' and next a voice, usually female, will say it's all done and it worked well. If they just say it's all done then you've questions needing answers. I do reflect on my ability to pay against many who can't. By many I mean millions of people who pay tax. In my case the need for surgery was realised on a paid investigation 8 weeks ago. I postponed surgery about 2 weeks as I'd a month long holiday mostly in England already planned. Had I not had ability to pay I'd be in huge pain and the reality of continuing serious infections that cause greater harm to a body for at least two years and in truth at least four. The cost of not doing things is never mentioned in health; here again it's crazy. The costs of keeping me waiting for surgery would be greater over 2/3 years waiting in respect of GP appointments, a raft of medicines, expensive blood and other hospital tests so it's not socialism to provide prompt surgery it's economic insanity to delay surgery. We've had a perfidious government in office 14 years. The damage to the health and wellbeing of our people and the structure of tearing apart the fabric of our country is catastrophic by any measure. These charlatans recognise two truths, first the worst that can happen them is to be voted out of office, just look at the antics of Ian Paisley jnr, a crook. But once they are in with any realistic majority they will hold out five years regardless of the destruction of the country. Second they can make themselves millionaires just look at what a British chancellor of the exchequer was doing while chancellor (Nadhim Zahawi) defrauding the very exchequer he was the minister for that led to a 5 million quid fine from HMRC. Minister means to serve not to steal. When I say millions are affected by poverty and can't afford private health just look at in work benefits here - the single biggest benefit pay out next to housing benefit to private landlords. Millions of poverty waged workers are subsidised by government so they earn their poverty working for Government, Starbucks, Mc Donald's. Amazon and on it goes. The working poor subsidise the super rich and they can't afford private healthcare rather they rely on benefits and food-banks in the 4th largest export economy on earth.

A part of my tooth had sheared off,…read moreleaving my tooth thinner than normal and I booked an emergency appointment to have some filler put in to thicken the tooth. The dentist called John-Joe Hartigan was appointed to manage my situation. I told him that the sole reason for me coming to the dentist was to get my emergency tooth repair fixed. The first appointment I had xrays done and I was informed four times by reception that I will have my emergency tooth repair fixed on the next appointment. John also told me once that I will be getting my tooth repaired on the next appointment. Shortly after, I received an email detailing a dental plan for other work that could be done aswell. The plan had me down for getting a general teeth clean on the second appointment and the entire dental plan did not list my emergency to be dealt with at all. I phoned reception and she said that John had accidentally left out the tooth repair and that I will be getting it fixed on the second appointment as I was told before. Later, I arrived for my second appointment and John told me that I was getting a general dental teeth clean today. I questioned him as to why my emergency tooth repair was not getting fixed and he said we can do that another time. John knew that I was only there to get my emergency tooth repair completed and it seems that he wanted to get as much money out of me as possible before he considered fixing my emergency. I would strongly advise others to avoid getting dental work done with John-Joe Hartigan.

A newcomer to Belfast, I had not yet set up any…read moredental or health care, and as luck would have it I bit into a sandwich and broke my front left tooth crown (a 2K one from previous reconstructive dental work). And this happened on a Saturday holiday weekend. I searched the Internet and began calling dentists in the city, and after the fifth call someone at gentle dental actually answered the phone: by Tuesday morning my tooth was fully repaired. The receptionist, office manager, and dentist were all extremely accommodating. The initial setup as a new patient was very thorough, but without being impersonal and curt. I felt like I got to know the staff a little bit, they got to know me, and when I thought it might be a little over personal, I was in the dentist chair and it was strictly business: full exam, good discussion about my options, and although I thought the best thing to do was to spend the extra money and get a full replacement, they recommended otherwise (excellent advice in hindsight). Thank you for such great service, I'll be a permanent customer from now on.

Going to the dentist for anyone, no matter…read morewhat age, is hardly an enjoyable experience, but I would say that this dentist delivers a service that makes going this dreaded chore a little bit more palatable. It is important for a dentist to make you feel comfortable and relax. This dental clinic certainly achieves this in my opinion. The dentists themselves are polite and approachable and the receptionist staff are professional and courteous, always remembering to use your name to relax you. It is situated relatively close to the city centre so it is easy to book an appointment to fit around your work or school schedule. I would advise not booking an appointment around 3.30pm, as the school across the street gets out and can make the traffic bedlam.

I…read morecalled CDP last week after being recommended by my girlfriend and I was able to book an appointment for under one week away. See, the problem was that I thought I had broken a filling, turns out after an X-ray that I had in fact broken my whole tooth - sounds painful, right? Well you'll be pleased to know that the dentist was able to preform the whole fixing procedure without causing any pain at all. There was a jovial atmosphere in this dentist, something I had never ever experienced before. I am not squeamish at all at the dentist but if you were, the whole vibe of the place would put you at total ease. The reception is cosy with plenty of reading material on offer. The receptionist I met today was excellent. I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment but was treated immediately as they had no current patients in. This dentist is private but is relatively cheap in comparison to other dentists I have been to over the years. In terms of accessibility it's excellent. Just off the M1 with parking just down the road at a shopping complex. An easy 5 stars from me - I never thought I'd say this but I'm looking forward to my next visit!
