Some testimonials

Thanks to a referral from my friend, Catherine, I became a patient of Dr Melvin. Thanks to her care over the last 13 years I have finally lost that terrified feeling I always had of going to the dentist. Not only has she looked after myself, but due to her care and attention, 3 generations of my family are all looked after by herself. One daughter in particular travels back from Malaysia to be checked out. Thank you from the Bergin Family.

A short note to thank you for your care and attention on my visits to your surgery this past month. I am a confirmed chicken when it comes to dental visits but your manner and expertise have restored my confidence for future appointments. The visit to your hygienist to finish my treatment was a real eye opener with a fantastic result to the colour of my teeth.

I have attended Dr Melvin for many years and never thought I would say this but I can honestly say it is a pleasure to go to the dentist. The whole experience is relaxed, friendly, helpful and above all caring. I never worry anymore about going to the dentist because I know that I am in very safe hands with Dr Melvin and of course the rest of the team. Best dentists ever. Keep on smiling.
