FOG LANE DENTAL PRACTICE - Manchester

I am a foreigner, needed emergency dental treatment. very much enjoyed my experience with the dentist. I especially liked the laser focus of the supporting staff and the doctor's friendly nature. Good experience at a very good price for someone not on the NHS.

I find both dentists here very cold. My kids (5 and 3) are tteated as adults and there is no friendly talk. Just a 'lets get it done and get them out' kind of attitude towards them. Happy to be transfering to somewhere more child friendly. On a plus note, the receptionists were awesome! Shame about the rest.

honestly, in 15 years i have not witnessed such a poor service with any other healthcare service provider, regardless of how many times you raise concerns with them, its like they have a broken switch. Not only have i given up going with this dentist after multiple failed fillings and poor service, but all of my family members have also moved to other dental practices .... clearly google is not doing enough marketing to help patients better identify sub par service providers like this, wake up google you could do a much better job guiding patients to better dental practices that actually care about their patients or at least as much as they do about the money, sadly these types of service providers do not care enough to improve their service based on customer feedback

I have always been terrified of the dentist , a fear as a child passed on unfortunately by my mum.As a result my crooked teeth were left unattended.Now as an adult they affected my self confidence enormously. I heard about Invisalgn and plucked up the courage to finally make a dentist appointment and have a consultation.Dr Nilash Bhavsar put me at ease immediately.It was a big financial investment for me but one I am delighted I made.I have since gone on to have some composite bonding to enhance the shape of a couple of teeth which Dr Bhasvar has completed.I have seen him for check ups, fillings and a root canal all of which would have filled me with absolute dread at one time, but now although I can't say I love going to the dentist ( who does ? ) Dr Bhasvar completely puts me at ease and talks me through all the options available and leaves to me to make a decision without pressure.The receptionists and dental nurses are all lovely and a credit to the practice. Thank you Dr Bhasvar for giving me my smile back.

I and my wife are very lucky to find a very good dentist, Mr. saeid. He is very skillful and knowledgeable. Before I came to see him, I had very poor experience. The previous dentist had broken two of my teeth. I thought it would very difficult to get the residue out. Surprisingly, Mr. saeid has got them out easily. I feel no pain at all. He is one of those best dentists who knows how to do anesthesia properly. There was not much bleeding afterwards. I recovered very quickly. I am one of medics myself. My experience told me how luck I am. I have been in UK and US in the last 30 years. I missed one of my previous dentist so much for 10 years when I was in US. That was Mr. HMP Smish in Chedlehome. He is the best dentist I have ever know. In fact, Mr. Smith has been voted as the best dentist of the year 2010s. I was so worried when he was retired a couple years ago.

For two years, 2013 and 2014, I was seeking a dentist in Manchester who accept NHS patients. I find one, but he was so poor. He broke two of my teeth when he tried to make extraction. I thought this might be the level of Manchester dental care. I carried the broken teeth for 1-2 years until one of them caused severe gun problem. I went to Fog Lane with no confidence before I saw Mr. Saeid. a half hour later, I found I was so lucky. I found another one who is the best of all I have ever known. Mr. Smith was very famous. Some one among my colleagues in the Manchest Medical School introduced me to Mr. Smith. I was so happy when he accept me whilst his office has already been full of patients wanting his care. In contrast, I find Mr. Saeid without previous knowledge. But he is just the same good as the Mr. Smith, who has been famous as the 'Best dentist in Manchester (or whole UK?), I said again and again to my colleagues in the University of Manchester and UCSF in US that I have been looked after by Mr. Smith, who is really extremely good. I missed him when I was in US. I was very much worried when he was retiring.

I got the feeling that Mr. Saeid saved my life after my gun and TMJ problems were cured by him. I have no hesitation to ask Mr. Saeid if he could install a denture for me. To my surprise, the denture costs me so little money and the service was so good. I asked if I could pay more money from deep in my heart. Not like some dentists these days who are put the money as the first priority. Mr. Saeid refused me to pay more money to the dental practice. Such noble man becomes a rare species those days in the field of dental care. I feel very lucky that there are still good dentists, such as Mr. Smith and Saeid, who pay more attention to the profession than money. My wife Ka-loh Li paid 8000 dollars in UCSF for one of her denture when the insurance paid half when we live in San Francisco. The one made in UCSF was a good denture, but is expensive too. I was very surprised when I saw the Fog Lane charge so little money for everything.

Finally I would like to say both Mr. Smith and Mr. Saeid are the best dental surgeon in the world (I have been in Manchester for 30 years and San Francisco 10 years and experienced many dentists. I think I am in the position to make the comments). I think we are very lucky to have dentist like Mr. Saeid around. I just want to say that I appreciated so much when my teeth, including gun and TMJ, stopped troubling me after seeing Mr. Saeid.

I love NHS more now because the system gives us the best care when we have Doctors like Mr. Smith and Saeid being around.

The dentist and nurse were very kind and professional. However, the receptionist was very rude to me and my family, which made the experience fairly unpleasant.

Great experience and Nilesh explained things clearly and I was really pleased with the results of my teeth whitening! Thank you!

If you miss your first initial appointment, then refuse to see you in future as the "system" will not let you book in again. Very rude, very unaccommodating receptionist
