Sarah Shiel 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Raj has removed three complicated wisdom teeth for me that I suffered with for years. Despite my nervousness he discussed everything with me beforehand which helped immensely. The procedures were done via keyhole surgery which was painless and swift. As of yesterday my last (big!) wisdom tooth was removed and I am relieved and beyond grateful to Dr. Raj. He is a thorough, professional, skilled and kind dentist. Thank you to both him and his nurse for making this so easy on me.

Thank you for the kind words Sarah, happy to have been of help and very pleased the minimally invasive surgical technique worked for you. As ever we are at your service

Maria S 3 years ago

Negative experience: Incompetent and rude dentist stuck in the 19th century. He failed to identify a front tooth that needed an emergency root canal, gave unsolicited advice on diet instead, as well as suggesting unwarranted expensive procedures. He then refused to release my dental Xray by email and insisted I'd come and get them in person even though I no longer live nearby and would have to travel from Dublin to do this. Altogether the worst experience I've ever had back in NZ, in Singapore or in NI.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, your frustration is evident from our refusal to act as your printing service or to compromise data security like you wanted us to do . Also the extensive correspondence with the information commissioners office proves we were happy to release the X-rays to you at any time , either in person or by post , which you refused . Since we only saw you once back in April 2021 it is unlikely we could have done any procedure , we also warned you about the issues you were having as evident from your record , if you needed root canal that is a consequence of a poor diet , hence the diet advice, your records are still here for you come and collect it or by post.All the very best

Noreen Duane 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: After years with another practice in loughrea my dental issues were not resolved and I felt neglected and highly frustrated with the care there. Dr Raj was recommended to me by my young grandson so I decided to get assessed. Dr Raj and his team have given me an honest assessment of my dental needs and a detailed plan and timeline. The treatment itself is complicated but Dr Raj has made it a very easy experience. Excellent dentist and practice!!!

Negative experience: My wife has just left this man’s practice. Telephone appointment has been made for external filling. When Dr Rajesh Narendranath examined he informed he did not feel he should do the filling without 3 years of records - fair enough if that is his professional opinion. However he then charged €40 for a consultation that had never been booked, agreed it discussed. Paid under duress of attitude - returning 10 minutes later to discuss refund was threatened with calling guards if didn’t leave the premises. I my eyes this is effectively fraud - charging for a service that was never agreed or wanted and only occured because he didn’t fulfil the original point of the appointment. It seems he has form in terms of this attitude - see NHS problems with his attitude when in UK.

Lakeshore Dental
Lakeshore Dental

Thank you for the detailed feedback and multiple edits of your comment to get it right , it is usual for a new appointment to have a consultation before any procedure which is charged . Seeking previous records is a standard process in the planning of treatment especially when the information given doesn’t tally with the appearance. No treatment will be undertaken until all information is to hand .Consultations are not free with us and then threatening to report for fraud if not refunded is called blackmail . Also attempting to barge into a surgery and not complying with a polite request to wait at the waiting room when there is another patient undergoing treatment is invasion of privacy and threat . We would report threatening behaviour to the Police , we have a zero tolerance attitude to threats and black mail . Wish your wife the best of luck with all future care and thank you for offering us a learning opportunity from this

Michelle 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I attended Dr. Raj and his lovely dental nurse at the beginning of the year for a cracked tooth that had been left a while without treatment. Both were so professional and thorough and Dr. Raj took the time to explain the treatment plan carefully. I was very happy with the treatment received and would highly recommend.

sarah smith 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: After many years of avoiding the dentist due to fear the inevitable happened and one of my molars broke. I went on Google and looked through the reviews to find a dentist I hoped would be nice, friendly and good at their job.. I wasn't dissapointed with Dr. Nef. I had to have a root canal and crown and to my surprise it didn't feel any pain throughout the procedure, it was a little uncomfortable as to be expected however the fact that I was able to wear my headphones and listen to my music helped with this. I would have no hesitations in recommending lakeshore dental, especially for those who have a fear of dentists or shame for their love of sweets like me

Negative experience: Made appointment for my Father to remove stiches after removing wisdom tooth. He was told by Dentist he wont do it o.O very disappointed -.-

Lakeshore Dental
Lakeshore Dental

Thank you for your feedback , normally it is advised to finish the treatment with the person who has done the treatment than getting two different people to work on it . This is a question of continuity of care . We didn't do your fathers procedure so it is safer to let the person who did it to complete it. We also are not prepared to take responsibility for work carried outside Ireland .Your father understood this quite well , Good luck
