"Exploration of inflammatory condition"

About: Birmingham Dental Hospital

Visited in early April. Person I saw very thorough and friendly with her questioning. However given I was there and mouth was sore pulled me around like a doll. This made me remember why I stopped going to NHS dentists at 18. Ridiculous wait for an xray after and whilst I was told I would be seen quickly after, I was made to wait an unacceptably long time which seemed to be so I could fit in with the rounds of the students in the afternoon. Even after waiting then didn't see same person as she was with Dr Big Wig observing a biopsy. There was a loss of continuity as things that were to be provided by the lady I saw first were not provided by the second person. I was then asked what time I wanted to attend for the next appmt as had to travel to Bham by train. They then forgot about me waiting again but they did then apologise again. Now some 6 weeks later have tried to call for three days without being able to get through to change my appmt. The voicemail says the message system is full. I have dialled the switchboard and they put me through to voicemail. Will have to see if I get a call back - don't hold your breath! Private every time for me I am afraid - a fiasco! Would be out of jobs in private practice. If you want a full day out in Bham go to the Dental Hospital. Think it was first floor Clinic. So irritated just had to find somewhere to write a review/feedback.
