I went to see Rohan Sully today who replaced a filling for me. I have just got back from living abroad for 10 years and this was the best dental experience I have ever had here or overseas. He made me feel very at ease and cared for and explained everything he was doing. It was also the least discomfort I have ever experienced at the dentist. I cant recommend him more highly.
