And he's next to Tesco - not to be confused with the dentist further down SGR!
-
Another vote for Dr. Shah. Me, my girlfriend and 3-year-old son all go to him and he's ace. Most practical dentist I've seen in years.
-
Just been to Mr Shah the dentist. He and his receptionist are indeed all the good things mentioned here.
I will now track down the NHS Dentists' website to give a review, a good review.
So, New Year done and dentist sorted ...
Now celebrating in Vagabond (yayy for wireless) with latte and a veggie toastie.
I so love SGR.
-
Yes, he's on SGR - a door next to Tesco's. I found him to be very good also and his receptionist / dental assistant (she seems to do lots of jobs in the place!) is also really lovely and polite.
-
I like the idea of a vegetable toadtie but can't quite picture it in my mind.
-
Bad news: it appears Mr Shah has retired.
-
Yes, its true. After being carved up by Hornsey Dental Centre i decided to try the highly rated Mr Shah only to be told he was reiring in 2 weeks (probably now actually retired).
The story has a happy ending as he is recommending Smilecare on Junction Road where he sometimes referred some of his trickier jobs. I unfortunately had to have root canal, but i found the procedure to be first class and £150 which i thought was cheap. Fillings were £50. I liked Mr Kapadia, he seemed very experienced, confident, and empathetic to my situation.
As an aside, never ever overbrush your teeth, it may well feel like you're doing a great job but in actual fact you're probably doing more damage than eating 10 bags of Skittles a day and not brushing. I have learnt my lesson!
-
Whilst I wish him a very happy retirement, it's a real shame to see him go.
-
Oh dear God no! ... I only just went there ... suddenly with a good dentist found it seemed there was one lthing less in life to fret over ... please, please ... other former Shah patients ... please post your plans for an alternative?
Shame he didn't send out a letter to patients on his list.
Where do the patient records go?
Do we get them?
-
It seems he has been replaced by a Dr Kahn and all patients have been automatically switched over.
-
He would have sold his goodwill ie us
-
Am selfishly gutted! @Brodije have also heard good things about Smilecare...and also have brushed the enamel off my teeth apparently.
-
How can I avoid brushing the enamel off my teeth? I am not good with dentists.
-
@JaneDoe, Dr Shah told me to use a good electric rather than a manual toothbrush. You put in less effort!
-
I'm pretty disappointed with Dr Kahn (Mr Shah's replacement). On my first visit she asked if I wanted an NHS scale and polish or a 'proper' scale and polish for £35. Mr Shah's scale and polish was always very thorough so I asked for the NHS version. She didn't look impressed and frankly did a really half-arsed job that took half the time Mr Shah used to take. She also refused to do the polish but as she said it wasn't included in the NHS price (I looked it up since and it is).
I had to go back earlier this week for a filling and had the first appointment of the day. I waited for 15 minutes and she still hadn't turned up or called and I got the impression this happened regularly, so I gave up. I feel sorry for the lovely dental assistant who has to make the apologies! I get the impression that Dr Kahn is more focused on profit than patients, or maybe we were just very lucky to have Mr Shah previously. I'm taking my toothache to Smilecare next week and hopefully they will be a bit more professional.

You should get a NHS Personal Dental Pan form no FP17DC issue 07/03/06. It details the NHS treatment, the cost and a 1 year warranty to fix things that go wrong
It is your rights so insist on getting one
You don't get any warranty with Private ask for the Terms and Conditions I bet you won't get far

i must be in an odd manic spring friday mood but i just went to the dentist and felt compelled to big them up on here (again). http://www.kingsavenuedentalsurgery.co.uk/
no it's not N4 but it's easy to get to on the W7. all the staff are so sweet, i usually see dr lawlor who is very jolly and calming. i've never had an attempted up-sell and he is really thorough with the scale and polish, so much so that they said not to bother with the hygienist as he would do it himself. and he tells me my teeth are good. i'm a sucker for tooth compliments.
Howdy, Stranger!
