"emergency dentist"

About: St Richard's Hospital

I recently had to visit jubilee wing for emergency dental treatment. My appointment was 7.15pm and I wasn't seen until 8.20 which wouldn't have been a problem if patients were kept informed about time delay. On finally seeing dentist, I was given a temporary filling which turned out to be very temporary as it was out the next morning. On contacting the surgery that day for advice I was told I was welcome to an appointment that evening but that it would cost me another 18.50 for a job that obviously wasn't done correctly the first time. I am currently walking around with a cracked tooth exposed with no filling whilst I wait to be registered at a surgery. Having recently moved to the area I feel very disappointed with the treatment I received at your hospital
