I COULD NOT BE MORE THRILLED WITH WHAT JESSICA HAS DONE TO MY TEETH.
MOVING TO ST JOHNS HILL IS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I HAVE EVER MADE. I USED TO GET SO NERVOUS ON THE LEAD UP TO AN APPOINTMENT BUT NOW I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING AND SEEING JESSICA. I AM SO PROUD OF MY NEW SMILE AND LOVE SHOWING IT OFF, SO MUCH SO MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER SAYS I NEED OT STOP SMILING SO MUCH ON MY SELFIES! I WISH I'D GONE TO SEE JESSICA YEARS AGO AND WOULD RECOMMEND ANY OF MY FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME.

MEET OUR TEAM
A TRIP TO THE DENTIST IN MY PAST WOULD MEAN GREAT APPREHENSION AND DOWNRIGHT FEAR. THIS DENTAL PRACTICE HAS CHANGED MY WHOLE OUTLOOK. THE FRIENDLY WELCOME AT RECEPTION STARTS YOUR VISIT AND DENTAL CARE AND TREATMENT IS PAINLESS AND A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE.
I HAVE EXTREME SJOGRENS SYNDROME AND MY DENTIST AND DENTAL NURSE HELP ME MANAGE IT AND CHANGED MY WHOLE PERCEPTION OF A TRIP TO THE DENTISTS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH

I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO LATE TO GET MY TEETH STRAIGHTENED (I'M 51 YEARS OLD) BUT JESS WAS ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTIVE THROUGHOUT MY 9 MONTHS WEARING BRACES - TOP AND BOTTOM.
I AM ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED WITH MY NEW TEETH.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE CONSIDERING THIS TREATMENT TO GO AHEAD.
IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT.

ST JOHN'S HILL DENTAL PRACTICE IS AN OUTSTANDINGLY MODERN AND GOOD PRACTICE, ABLY LED BY DENTAL SURGEONS, T M PARSONS AND JESSICA WAKE AND SUPPORTED BY CAPABLE HYGIENISTS AS WELL AS VERY SENSIBLY ORGANISED PRACTICE MANAGERS.
JESSICA WAKE HAS A PRECISE SKILLFUL TECHNIQUE THAT SHE COUPLES WITH A SENSITIVE AND THOROUGH APPROACH; ALL ASPECTS OF ORAL HEALTH ARE CONSIDERED; GUMS , TEETH, TONGUE AND PHARYNX TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE PATIENT, SO THE PATIENT ALWAYS GETS THE FULL TREATMENT. EMERGENCY APPOINTMENTS CAN ALWAYS BE GOT WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. VICKY ABLEY HELPS JESSICA, KNOWING ALMOST INSTINCTIVELY THE NEEDS OF EITHER THE PATIENT OF JESSICA.
CLAIRE PILKINGTON IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST HYGIENISTS IN THE FIELD OF DENTISTRY; DOING HER DEMANDING JOB WITH BOTH MECHANICAL ENERGY, ACCURACY AND FEELING. PERHAPS HER STRONGEST ATTRIBUTE IS HER PATIENCE IN INFORMING AND EDUCATING PEOPLE IN THE NICEST POSSIBLE WAY. LESLEY RICHARDS MAKES GOOD INTERACTION WITH THE PATIENT.
THE PRACTICE IS PARTICULARLY WELL DIRECTED BY THE FRONT OF HOUSE MANAGERS: NICKY SMITH AND LAURA DAWSON WHO ARE ALWAYS PLEASE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PATIENT, SO THE PATIENT CAN BE ACCOMMODATED AT A TIME THAT SUITS THE PATIENT. EVERYONE SMILES.
OVERALL, THERE IS SYNERGY WITHIN THE PRACTICE, SO THE STRENGTH IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF THE INDIVIDUALS ON THEIR OWN. A HAPPY PLACE TO GO TO.

MY WIFE AMANDA AND MYSELF MOVED TO THE ST JOHN'S HILL PRACTICE 3 YEARS AGO. THE PREMISES ARE SPACIOUS, BRIGHT AND COMFORTABLE AND ALL THE STAFF ARE WELCOMING, FRIENDLY AND HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL. ROUTINE APPOINTMENTS ARE EASILY AVAILABLE AND TIMELY APPOINTMENTS CAN BE MADE IF EMERGENCIES OR UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS ARISE.
DR WAKE WAS MY DENTIST FOR ABOUT 12 YEARS AT HER PREVIOUS PRACTICE AND HAS BEEN FOR THE 3 YEARS SHE HAS BEEN AT ST JOHN'S. THAT I CHOSE TO FOLLOW HER TO ST JOHN'S SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. AMANDA'S DENTIST OF MANY YEARS RETIRED SHORTLY AFTER I MOVED AND SHE ALSO CHOSE TO JOIN ST JOHN'S. OUR TREATMENT BY DR JESSICA WAKE, USUALLY ASSISTED BY VICKI ABLEY, HAS BEEN FIRST CLASS AS I WAS CONFIDENT IT WOULD BE. NOT ONLY IS THE TREATMENT EXCELLENT, THEY DO THEIR BEST TO MAKE US AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE AND LOOK AFTER US VERY WELL.
WE HAVE HAD NO TREATMENT FROM OTHER MEMBERS OF THE TEAM YET BUT WE HAVE LITTLE DOUBT THAT THEIR STANDARDS WOULD BE JUST AS HIGH.
NEITHER OF US HAS ANY REGRETS MOVING TO ST JOHN’S HILL PRACTICE AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

JESSICA HAS LOOKED AFTER MY DENTAL CARE FOR NEARLY TWENTY YEARS. HER PROFESSIONAL APPROACH AND PATIENT ENGAGEMENT IN ALL TREATMENT INSTILLS GREAT CONFIDENCE AND ALLAYS ANY CONCERNS AND WORRIES. SHE ALWAYS PUTS ME AT EASE BY EXPLAINING EACH STEP AS THE TREATMENT PROGRESSES. I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND THAT JESSICA ONLY DOES WHAT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WHICH SHE SHARES WITH ME AND MONITORS THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS.
ALL WORK UNDERTAKEN IS ALWAYS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY USING THE VERY BEST MATERIALS. I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND THAT ANY COMPLETED DENTAL WORK DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REVISITED AND MATERIALS USED STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

FOR PERSONAL REASONS, OVER THE YEARS I HAVE REQUIRED DENTAL TREATMENT FROM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DENTISTS IN BOTH EAST ANGLIA AND THE WEST MIDLANDS. SOME HAVE BEEN GOOD BUT OTHERS VERY POOR. BECAUSE OF MY BAD EXPERIENCES, I AM NORMALLY VERY NERVOUS WHEN I NEED YET ANOTHER VISIT TO THE DENTIST.
ST JOHN'S DENTAL PRACTICE IN SHREWSBURY IS EXCEPTIONAL. THE RECEPTION STAFF ARE FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT AND THE AMBIANCE WHEN YOU ARRIVE, WELCOMING. THEY KEEP YOU WELL INFORMED AND SEND REMINDERS WHEN DUE ANOTHER ROUTINE CHECK-UP. JESSICA WADE, MY PERSONAL DENTIST, IS PROFESSIONAL, THOROUGH AND COMPETENT ND IMMEDIATELY PUTS YOU AT EASE. ON TOP OF WHICH, SHE DOESN'T HURT! JESSICA IS WELL SUPPORTED BY CLAIRE, THE HYGIENIST. CLAIRE DOESN'T JUST CLEAN YOUR TEETH, SHE DOES TO GREAT LENGTHS TO ADVISE HOW TO LOOK AFTER THEM. I NO LONGER VIEW MY NEXT VISIT TO THE DENTIST WITH TREPIDATION.

THIS IS AN HONEST REPORT ON HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY DENTIST BUT ITS PERHAPS TOO GOOD TO SOUND TRUE?
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SIGN UP DO DR WAKE AS AN NHS PATIENT WHEN I MOVED TO SHREWSBURY. MY TEETH WERE HEALTHY ENOUGH. I THOUGHT. I'D BEEN TO MY DENTIST REGULARLY AND MY GENERAL EXPERIENCE WAS A TEN-MINUTE WAIT FOLLOWED BY A TWO MINUTE GLANCE IN MY MOUTH AND A BILL. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE BEST ONE COULD EXPECT AS IT WAS MY EXPERIENCE WITH SEVERAL DENTISTS.
I DID HAVE GUMS PRONE TO BLEEDING WHEN BRUSHING BUT ASSUMED THAT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS AS NOTHING WAS EVER DONE AT MY CHECK-UPS. DR WAKE WAS A NEW EXPERIENCE, IN THE FIRST APPOINTMENT SHE USED ULTRASOUND TO REMOVE HARD DEPOSITS FROM BETWEEN MY TEETH THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YEARS. SHE CLEANED MY TEETH AMAZINGLY AND IN THAT SHORT APPOINTMENT STOPPED THE GUM ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. SHE JUST GOT ON AND DID IT ALL THERE AND THEN WITH GREAT EFFICIENCY. SHE ALSO SPOTTED THAT ONE OF MY TEETH WITH A FILLING WAS CRACKED AND AT A LATER APPOINTMENT CHANGED THE FILLING AND I HONESTLY DIDN'T FEEL A THING. THIS IS A DENTIST WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT HER PATIENT'S TEETH AND IS EXTREMELY SKILLED AND EFFICIENT.
I HAVE SINCE HAD SOME PRIVATE WORK DONE TO STRAIGHTEN MY TEETH AND THANKS TO DR WAKE HAVE LOTS OF SMILE ABOUT.
