"Pain free, woohoo!"

About: North Devon District Hospital / Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

(as the patient),

I came to the hospital for a facial X-ray but was more concerned about the pain I was in with my teeth, the staff were kind enough to fit me in without asking and really took care of me. I am extremely afraid of needles and the dentist alike, but was immediately put at ease by Mr Esson, Nigel and Nurse Sarah (if you see these guys you’re in luck!) I was in and out in 10 minutes; did not feel the local anaesthetic being administered, no pain during the procedure at all, and the staff were so comforting and reassuring, I was and still am extremely extremely impressed. Cannot say enough good things about them, just a big fat thank you! You’ve helped me out big time :’)

Pain free! 

Woohoo!
