Nervous patients are welcome at our dental practice in Corby
We understand that visiting the dentist isn’t easy for everyone. That’s why we’ve created a space in Corby where patients feel safe, respected, and listened to.
You’ll never be rushed, judged, or made to feel uncomfortable, just welcomed and supported from the moment you arrive.
I called the other day to see if I could book in an emergency appointment. They were very kind and gave me a spot the next day to be seen. The staff were lovely and comforting knowing I was nervous, and they did an excellent professional job to help the situation I was in. They also gave me in depth information about what was happening and aftercare which is really helpful and gave me reassurance. They do seem very booked up and I wouldn’t take my example as normal. After explaining my situation to the staff, they squeezed me in last minute to genuinely help me. So be prepared to wait if your condition isn’t serious.
