What Patients Say Google reviews and recent inspection reports consistently highlight the practice’s success in managing nervous patients. One patient recently shared, "I am very nervous at the dentist... I was really put at ease during my treatment," while others praise the staff for being ‘bubbly,’ ‘friendly,’ and willing to ‘hold your hand when needed.’ This reputation is built on Dr. Davies’ philosophy of providing pain-free dental care in an environment where questions are welcomed, and procedures are never rushed.
