"Wisdom Teeth Extraction"

I was referred to Homerton Hospital by my NHS dentist for a Wisdom Teeth Extraction.

After the referral I received a phone call to arrange a consultation.

I then received a letter in the post confirming the consultation date.

At the consultation I had an x-ray and then sat with a surgeon who went through the x-ray with me and talked me through the procedure including all the potential risks and side effects.

A few weeks later I received a call from the hospital with a potential date available for the surgery.

I confirmed the date and shortly after received a letter in the post to confirm it all.

I was advised by my dentist that there would be a wait of at least 3 or 4 months before I hear anything back but the whole process took two months.

I was very happy with the time it took as I had prepared myself to wait for a lot longer.

When it came to the day of the surgery I was very nervous.

The surgeon and the nurses I dealt with were so polite and kind and friendly.

I wish I had taken their names so I could thank them!

They made what would normally be a pretty traumatic experience into something that was actually really easy!

Every single person I dealt with at the hospital were so friendly and helpful and I was so impressed by everything involved in the service from start to finish.
