"Emergency dental treatment"

About: Perth and Kinross Health & Social Care Partnership / Public Dental Service (Tayside)

(as the patient),

After cracking my tooth and suffering pain from this and an infection, I called the centre at 8:30am. I was treated with patience and kindness by the receptionist and booked in for an 11:00am appointment. Arriving, I was booked in by a friendly receptionist and seen promptly by the lovely Evan assisted by this excellent assistant. Evan was fantastic, great manner and went above and beyond to treat my tooth swiftly, sort the infection and give sound advice. I wish him the very best with his career plans to work with children in hospital environments. There is no one more patient and good humoured as well as competent and professional. I cannot recommend this service enough. With such issues finding reliable, competent and affordable dentists, it is especially welcome when you have a painful emergency.
