Fantastic experience: My daughter Zoe who has special needs is a patient of Dr Robert. She absolutely loves going to see him as he makes her feel so special and welcome. She's had fillings, extractions and braces fitted. It's a pleasure for me to take her to the dentist as she always goes in and comes out with a smile ☺
Hi Eileen, thank you for the 5* rating.
Fantastic experience: Great dental and orthopedic clinic, the team and staff are very professional especially Dr Ahmed and Dr Faisal. Our 16 year old didn't even feel the needle.

Hi Amanda, thank you very much for your review.
Fantastic experience: My experience at the dentist in Shields was probably the best I have ever had. They are so well organised and the staff are amazing. I dealt with Kelly originally about coming in about invisalign and it was seemless. When I got to the clinic and met Kelly she was even nicer than I thought she was on the phone and I felt so at ease with her. Then I met Robbie and he went through everything in such detail and was not trying to push anything additional on me that wasn't warranted. He was so relaxed which made me relaxed. Kelly and Robbie really made my experience and I cannot wait to get my invisalign in the new year!
Thank you Lisa for the wonderful review, it has been passed on to Dr Robert and Kelly
Fantastic experience: As always an excellent experience dealing with Shields.You have a great team who are always so lovely to deal with.Special mention for orthodontist Dr.Gen.Wow,the difference in our sons teeth after getting his braces off a couple of weeks ago is just incredible.
