"Altnagelvin Area Hospital Orthodontics"

About: Outpatients Department / Orthodontic Clinic

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

The Orthodontic team at Altnagelvin have been amazing throughout my treatment and they are always so friendly and welcoming.

I feel my treatment has taken a lot longer than I would have liked as I am 2 months shy of having my braces on for 3 years, which has been a very long, drawn out process, and I still have no date for surgery.

Having put off moving away for University for this surgery, it's very frustrating as I could have completed my course while still attending my appointments. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
