    "I have been with the practice since I moved to Exeter 12 years ago and in all of that time I have had nothing but excellent treatment. I had a check-up this morning and only had to wait a few minutes beyond the appointment time. (Sometimes however the wait can be a lot longer!) I have been fortunate that in all my time with you, I have never required any treatment save the occasional scale and polish. This usually means my time in the chair isn't too long. This morning has to have been the quickest yet, no more than 60 seconds in the chair, took less than 4 minutes from the waiting room back to reception. My only complaint is that this fleeting visit cost me over £20. Lucky you don't charge per hour!"

Now is all sorted and my daughter is very happy that she had the filling done with no pain. So well done to the staff and also we all registered with the Practice."
