James Opperman was very efficient and painless. He took a couple of x rays and went through what was happening in a very clear & professional manner. I was given a detailed run down on what needed to be done and the next day had a cleaning by Katherine Beard. She gave me detailed instructions on how to maintain healthy teeth & gums. I would highly recommend The Dental Surgery to anyone who is looking for a good, efficient and professional team of specialists. Teresa O.

There are loads of consulting rooms, but some are up some pretty steep stairs, so be warned, and the surgery offers sedation for those that are really nervous, like me! There is a lack of parking facilities here, only a couple of spaces along side the building, so you will have to chance your luck at parking on the roadside. The surgery offer a texting service to remind you of your appointment, to avoid you missing your slot and being charged for not attending.

The appointment systems is based on either a planned appointment (regarding continous treatment) or a book on the day. The appt line is open from 8am but the line gets very busy. If you are unable to get an appt then you can visit the nurse-led minor injury clinic, be warned that waiting times for this do vary, one day you can go straight in and thenext you can be waiting for hours (once again this is dependent of clinics running at the time). Overall I have had mainly positive experiences of this practice.

The Reception Staff were welcoming and very efficient. The Triage Nurse, who I saw within minutes of my arrival, was also very efficient and kind. The Nurse who dealt with me after a wait of only an hour was superb. She was calm, patient, thorough, totally professional, delightful and in whom I had complete confidence. All absolutely brilliant. Many, many thanks. Wendy Conway

(Please note that the position of the medical centre on the map is incorrect due to the building…read morebeing part of a new development) The Estuary View Medical Centre is a minor injuries unit. It is situated just outside of Whitstable and is easily accessible from the dual carriageway or the centre of town. It is well signposted and is open from 8am - 8pm seven days a week. Me and my partner were recommended to visit this centre following advice from an out of hours surgery phoneline. On arrival it was clear that Estuary View has had a lot of money invested in it's construction. It is in attractive building with adequate parking and easy transport links. It is staffed by Emergency Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses and Healthcare assistants who are able to offer limited treatment to patients. As this is a minor injury unit they do not operate at the same level as an A&E department. However they do have the ability to conduct X-Rays. They can also refer you to a doctor at a local hospital (Margate A&E). My partners problem was not able to be treated at this centre but the nurses contacted the specific department in A&E and essentially saved us a long wait as the doctors knew we were coming. I believe that if more money was invested in facilities and staff rather than appearance the centre would most likely take more stress off hospitals than it currently does. Although my partner was not treated there she commented on how polite the staff were and how quickly her issue was dealt with.

I initially went along just for some botox in my frown lines and 11s. We obviously got chatting and…read moreLouise brought up filler as an option. I said I hadn't considered it because I'd heard so many horror stories. Louise told me it's a really low risk and I would be a perfect candidate and that I'd have "amazing results" I wished I'd gone with my gut. I was lulled into this false sense of security. I'm not saying that it was done in an intentional or manipulative way but thats what happened. I said yes to the filler (tear trough) so I had that and also the botox. Immediately afterwards it didn't look too bad. My frown lines were already going and the filler looked OK. However the very next day I looked awful. You could see the filler protruding under my eyes and even my frown lines were starting to come back. I went in for a botox top up a couple of weeks later. I mentioned the filler and Louise said I needed to give it time (it had been 2 weeks by then) Whilst there I also had profhilo as Louise said it would tighten my face and smoothe out the wrinkles and blemishes (particularly the lines above my lip) I went away and again the frown lines returned. Pretty much all were back by day 4. Within a month I could see no affect from the profhilo but I'd been told that's normal and the results will come immediately after treatment 2. I had treatment number 2 about 4-5 weeks after the 1st one. I'm now about 6 week's post treatment 2 and honestly it's had no affect. I still have all of my lines and blemishes and redness (I was told this would all even out) The filler still looks horrendous. I have been in constant contact with the clinic telling them how awful it is. I was called back in for higher strength botox (no charge) and I'm a week past that now and the results are ok. Under my eyes look terrible though. I look completely weird when I smile and the filler has caused weird bumps. I spent about £1500 in total and all I have to show for it is a relatively smooth forehead. Oh and a messed up face. I can't even leave the house without glasses as my confidence is on the floor. I went along for treatments to treat myself. I'm a disabled single parent of a disabled child. I wanted to do something for myself to make me feel better/more refreshed. I'm left feeling that I've basically paid for someone to ruin my face. That was a large sum of money to me. I saved for 3months just to afford some treatments for self care purposes. The only option now re the filler is to have it dissolved. I can't go down that route as its dangerous, I've seen so so many stories about how bad dissolving it can be. I'm extremely disappointed and unbelievably sad that I've been left feeling this way.
