I have been here a few times now, my dentist often refers me when it’s more difficult dental work needing doing.Dr. Girish is the best dentist I have had so far. He is quiet and unassuming and doesn’t go on and on making small talk like some dentists do. He gets the job in hand done quickly and professionally and explains throughout what is going to happen.The nurses are fab here too.I had an awful NHS hospital extraction last year which caused so many issues and infections. I was nervous the first time I attended here, but the extraction was over in less than five minutes, I was stitched up and offered antibiotics too. I have autism and I can struggle with new dentists and had to travel a bit to get to Armadale but these guys were fantastic and so worth the private treatment prices. Very professional about my epilepsy too.The nurses also make me feel at ease with humour, smiles and cleaning my mouth at the end of the blood and he was super kind. Would love this feedback to get back to them.Only thing (and reason this is a four star review) is thatI would suggest if you are having to leave valuables outside the room as I did, is putting them in a lockable place. I didn’t feel super happy leaving my wallet and phone outside a closed door.The entrance was small but has since been refurbished and is now disability friendly with ramps in the waiting room. The toilet is a disabled size one and large enough to take a wheelchair. The corridors are still quite narrow towards the dental rooms.Edit 28/05/24I was back here today for another wisdom extraction. I had the same dentist (Dr. Girish) who was kind and very professional again, answered any questions and took out my tooth which my own dentist in Livingston refused to do with accuracy in a very short space of time. I am autistic and while they don’t claim to specialise in autistic patients, I was put at ease.Dr Girish is quiet but very polite and doesn’t waste time with small talk while the customer is in pain like some dentists do (a good thing!), instead he concentrates on the job in hand. However, he is more than happy to answer any questions and go through what he plans to do before he does it. He also rechecks your medical history with care to ensure it’s updated. He is the best dentist I’ve been with at his job and I would recommend asking for him specifically for complicated extractions like mine.Many dentists have tried and failed to remove my teeth and and should I need another tooth out (I hope that won’t happen), I would come here again despite it being quite a journey from where I live. The nurse was lovely too, I didn’t catch her name. The receptionist was kind, showed me to the toilet and let me sit in the reception after my extraction to wait for my taxi as it was raining outside.One small suggestion is, the dental chairs aren’t hugely as comfy/ cushioned as the ones at my regular dentist and the sides dug into my hips a bit (though I am plus size so have wider hips) maybe worth looking at.Again, items like phones and coats and wallets are to be left outside as it’s quite a small dentist room (not enough room to bring a guest in with you likely) and although I’ve been told it’s a safe area I feel uneasy that goods can’t be locked away.Four stars.

Have only recently joined this dentist first visit today. Staff were friendly and although I was nervous it was fine. Hopefully it will continue to be 😃

Generally a decent company. Justyna is my Dentist and she is excellent. Always let's you know what's happening and her assistant is lovely. I would recommend them, they do good work.

New patient, moving over from a local NHS dental practice. Really impressed with friendliness and professionalism of all staff. Had the first thorough check-up for sometime, which was greatly appreciated. The practice is well maintained, modern and welcoming. Think I've made the right decision in moving.

Seems strange writing a positive review for a dentist as a very anxious and nervous patient but all the staff at Ochilview made the experience a pleasant and comfortable experience as possible.A modern and clean environment, pleasant and friendly staff and a thorough and professional service, thank you to all!

I don’t remember the name but the male dental nurse/dentist was so lovely. Totally made me feel at ease. The head male dentist of the practice was so professional too, did an amazing job. I had a awful NHS hospital extraction last year which caused so many issues and infections. I was nervous the other day, but the extraction was over in less than five minutes, I was stitched up and offered antibiotics too. I have autism and I can struggle with new dentists and had to travel a bit to get to Armadale but these guys were fantastic and so worth the private treatment prices.

I didn’t feel super happy leaving my wallet and phone outside a closed door.Bigger waiting area space would be good too, waiting area isn’t suitable for the disabled.Edit 28/05/24I was back here today for another wisdom extraction.

Just started going to Shibil and he's a very patient, friendly and competent dentist who made me feel at ease. Also major shoutout to the male dental nurse who is always so friendly and chatty. He was brilliant with my 6yr old and then when I went for a follow up appointment without her, asked how she was. Great personal service

Being the forgetful person I am, I have no idea who actually treated me but they were excellent, put me at ease and explained each part of the treatment. I doubt anyone comes away from the dentist thinking "well that was fun" but the most recent visits were at least not thoroughly unpleasant.

My daughter had to get a second wisdom tooth out that was coming in sideways and we didn’t hesitate to go back to Ochilview and have Girish take it out, what a lovely man. She is a very nervous patient and they were so nice. Mark the anaesthetist is just so nice and there was no hurry to get you out the door once in the recovery room.Thank you all again for looking after her so well.

Can’t recommend this practice enough! Always go above & beyond to make sure you are at ease during your appointment. The staff are so lovely & welcoming and I always enjoy coming to the practice when I need to. Every procedure I’ve had done, the staff have took their time to go over every detail and make sure I’m happy before going ahead with anything! Definitely would recommend this practice to everyone. 5 stars all round 🥰
