I can confidently say that Helayna is the most empathetic and kind dentist I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. From the moment I stepped into her office, I felt at ease with her warm and understanding approach. She takes the time to listen to any concerns and explains everything thoroughly, making sure I’m comfortable every step of the way. It’s rare to find a dentist who truly cares about their patients, and Helayna is a shining example of that. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch dental care with a personal touch!

Absolutely superb
Absolutely superb, for someone who was physically terrified of dentists, the staff and in particular the dentist was superb to the point that after a lifelong terror though still nervous now does not dread seeing the dentist.
At the Scott Arms every step of the process was explained in a kind and caring manner. We were listened to and advised of different treatment options all the fees were explained and a full treatment plan printed for the patient to study and decide. The receptionists were friendly and polite, nurses supported and guides you with efficient professionalism. We are now considering transferring the whole family to this practice I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Thank You and well done to the whole team.

I’ve been with this practice for almost…
I’ve been with this practice for almost 6 years. When Amrit was there she was amazing never had such a brilliant experience with a dentist. Once she left everything seemed to go to pot. I’ve had goodness knows how many hygienists let alone dental surgeons, have a different one every time I go now. Anyway I had an appointment today . I finished work early to go but unfortunately due to the horrendous road works especially newton road I couldn’t get through the traffic. I was literally across the road but just couldn’t move, I phoned the surgery and spoke to a lady and explained I should be there in the next 5/10 mins. She said it was fine and not to worry , When I got there the terrible car park was choc a block as usual. I had to park across the road which was a good walk which made me a few more mins late. When I got there a rude assistant told me I was late so I wouldn’t get seen, I asked her to take a look at the car park and how was I supposed to know I couldn’t park and had to walk. She told me to take a seat. Minutes late she called me to say the dentist wouldn’t see me I was too late, I asked why I was told it was okay by a receptionist . She asked me her name I said I had no reason to ask her name. She was very rude said the computers were down so couldn’t make another appointment. I was fuming I left work early for nothing . I know they don’t care but you have lost a loyal customer. Shocking customer service and your receptionists need a course of people skills. Sort yourself out guys what’s going on. So many staff have left. Now customer are leaving. Thanks for nothing today

We were sorry to read your review. Our management team has already called you and apologised for the inconvenience caused. Unfortunately, on the day of your appointment, we had computer issues, making it harder to see the overall look of our appointment books. We try to accommodate patients if they are late, as we understand traffic and roadwork can cause significant delays, but occasionally, this isn't possible. However, as explained on the phone to you, we have spoken to the receptionist who dealt with you, and she sent you her apologies if it came over rudely to you. This was never her intention and she is genuinely sorry. She said she has taken on board your feedback. We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment with Helayna.

Best dental practice in the midlands
The dentist practitioners work at a very high standard of care and this shows through the professionalism they convey on each of my visits to the practice. The receptionists are too very courteous and polite and can’t do more for you to work around your lifestyle. I would highly recommend this practice to family and friends.

Not happy at all...
I have been a long-time patient of Scotts Arms and have always had positive experiences—until my most recent visit. Recently, I called in regarding discomfort in my back tooth and was given an appointment for 9 PM after initially specifying my need for a late appointment. I was seen by a dentist named Mandeep, who was incredibly rude and unprofessional during our interaction.
Despite not requesting an emergency appointment, Mandeep insisted I needed two fillings but could only provide temporary solutions. When I expressed my confusion, he laughed and said, “Who do you think is going to give you a normal appointment at 9 PM?” This comment made me feel belittled, and he seemed indifferent to my concerns.
When I spoke with the reception staff afterwards, they mentioned that stating I was in pain automatically classified my visit as an emergency. I don't agree with this policy, as I simply voiced my need for an appointment, the same way I would for a doctor's visit.
While the reception staff and Mandeep's assistant were helpful, Mandeep's dismissive attitude was unacceptable. Patients deserve to be treated with respect and understanding, and I hope he can improve his communication style in the future.
Overall, my experience today was very disappointing, and I hope the clinic addresses this issue moving forward.

We are sorry to hear you were unhappy following your appointment.
After checking your records, we found that you were booked for our evening emergency service. Our aim for this type of appointment is to relieve a patient of pain. For routine treatment such as fillings, we will generally temporise the tooth for you and ask you to book back for a routine appointment. We then will know exactly how much time is needed to carry out the type of treatment you require. However, we do apologise for any inconvenience or upset caused.
After passing on your feedback to our locum dentist, he apologises if it came across as dismissive, as this was far from his intention.
If you would like to discuss this further, please call the practice and speak to Jody or Amy on 0121 3575000. Thank you.
