They are just carrying out a refurb but it's taking longer than they originally anticipated. I am not sure the staff were given much notice as I was halfway through a course of treatment when I was notified of the closure. I'm not best pleased that I'm now having to wait an additional couple of weeks to finish the treatment.

It's 15th September and Townley Road dentist still seems to be closed, no answer message and the place looks abandoned. I have had to find another dentist in an emergency as a crown that was fitted by them at over ?500 has come out after 2 months, the other dentist was very scathing about the poor quality of work and I might have to have a new one. How do I complain about this dental practice which seems to have vanished?

I have previously complained to NHS England about my GP practice and felt it was worthwhile as action was taken as a direct result. If the dentist is an NHS dentist you can complain to them too...

I found the easiest way was to call them to lodge a complaint on 0300 311 22 33

I have not been a patient at this practise but accompanied a very nervous friend there a couple of months ago.

Rather than it being a calm place, the [?]owner was showing round the builders, letting them bang on walls outside treatment rooms, talking loudly about refurb plans whilst in the waiting room , ignoring patients etc and it all seemed very inappropriate. It clearly wasn't patients first and , from what everyone is saying here, it still looks like that.

I have been with this dentist for 25 years and they have been great. They we're let down by the last owner of the practice but seemed to be making a comeback which is why it's so strange that they have not kept patients better informed. I tried to phone today and still got no answer- anyone else got any updates?

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
