I had not seen a dentist for 40 years due to my fear of dentists...but he has been absolutely spot on......I must have been attending now for 4 years.

Yes John....being held down by a burly dental nurse, who could have doubled as a Russian shot putter...and me small for my age...wasn't a good experience.

I hate going with a passion however I've been every 6 months or so since being very young.

I used to see Mr Donnelly on Whalley Rd near the Hospital until he retired and now go to Antley on Blackburn Rd. I would ideally want to find another good NHS one but it seems so difficult to get on with them or find one I think.
