The Westbourne Centre

I initially went to Dr. Evan to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. At the start, he explained that he would remove two first and then the other two at a later visit. My first visit went okay overall, but I did feel that he rushed through the anaesthetic. I experienced pain during the procedure and he had to inject more local anaesthetic after he had already begun. On top of that, he made a very strange comment about my jaw, saying that people of my descent have very strong jaws and even suggested I ask my grandmother about it. I found this inappropriate and offensive, though I chose to let it slide at the time. My grandma is currently going through very serious health problems currently and it’s a hard time for the family. For my second visit, I felt very anxious because I had been traumatised from the first procedure. I expressed this to him, and he initially seemed understanding. However, during the extraction, I experienced what felt like an electric shock, which he explained was because he brushed on a nerve. This was very painful and distressing. What concerned me most was that he only removed my lower wisdom tooth, even though I was expecting the upper one to be removed as well which is actually the tooth that causes me the most pain. He seemed rushed and eager to finish quickly. After I left the room, I went back to explain my concern about the top tooth, but he told me he couldn’t remove it that day as he hadn’t put anaesthetic in the upper area. He said I would need to come back for another appointment. This means I now have to go through the stress and trauma of another procedure that I believed would have been completed today. I want to be clear that I have respect for Dr. Evan and his profession I understand that dental work is complex and challenging. But I also believe patients deserve clear communication, compassion, and to feel listened to. Unfortunately, I found his manner abrupt, dismissive, and at times rude. I didn’t choose to have impacted wisdom teeth, and I feel very upset about how my treatment was handled.

I had a great experience with Tim and Rachel with respect to my Wisdom Tooth Extraction. Tim was informative, knowledgeable, and really helped keep me at ease throughout the process. Rachel was on hand and efficient, always extremely polite, and kept me well informed every step of the way. Both of them made the experience much more comfortable and smooth. Highly recommended! I will be returning in a few weeks for my second extraction!

Had my wisdom tooth extracted today, my experience here was absolutely amazing, the receptionist was very welcoming and professional, I sat upstairs to be greeted by a lovely woman to be taken into the pre op room, to have my injections in my gums to numb the area, the dentist himself (Mr Breeze) was very reassuring towards me as he knew I was anxious to have it done, and they were both amazing getting my tooth, he did apologise a lot for how far he had to open my mouth just to get to the wisdom tooth (it was far back), but hands down, I had a great experience and very assuring as well which I do appreciate a lot, hands down the best dentist I've been too. Also would like to add how clean and tidy it was as well.

A big thank you to everyone at the Westbourne Centre. I attended on Saturday for a Mohs procedure, the experience was smooth, positive and reassuring.. Elizabeth on reception, Alison, Maria, Sarah, Ronnie and of course Dr Rajpar and Dr Martin-Clavijo who provided excellent support and care. Their kindness, professionalism, and clear communication made the whole experience straightforward. Every stage of the process was explained carefully, and I always felt included and valued. From admission through treatment to discharge, the service was consistently professional and supportive. I am very grateful to the whole team for the excellent care I received. Victoria

Had my wisdom tooth pulled out today and I can say i have never felt more comfortable and safe. The surgery has a warm welcome with smiles that would greet you as soon as you enter. The dental nurse who assisted me into the surgery room was kind with warm smile and Dr Mcmillan was a fantastic doctor who explained the procedure to me step by step before and after the surgery. 1000% would recommend this surgery and thank you Dr Mcmillan and the staff of Westbourne centre

I recently had a procedure carried out by Dr. Allan Attard and Nurse Rachael, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, both of them made me feel completely at ease. They were incredibly down to earth, welcoming, and genuinely took the time to explain everything clearly without rushing. What really stood out to me was how funny and light-hearted they were — it made such a difference to the whole experience. They struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. I’d also like to give a special mention to The Westbourne Centre itself — such a clean, well-organised and calm environment that instantly makes you feel comfortable.Dr Attard and Nurse Rachael are absolute assets to the team there, and it’s clear they care deeply about their patients. They Deserve a pay rise! I’m very grateful for the care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both them and the Westbourne Centre to anyone looking for genuine, high-quality care in a supportive setting. - Mr Ali

I’ve had both my bottom wisdom teeth removed by Mr McMillan, he explained everything really well and kept me calm. I have had complications afterwards the first one being dry socket which was seen to and sorted by another dentist who was wonderful. The second was an abscess but the lady who helped me was lovely and kind and made sure the QE was aware I may need to attend. The reception staff have always been pleasant and after the abscess made sure I had calmed down to drive home. But extra mention is to the nurse who held my hand and then was on call via the out of hours number - she was amazing and reassuring. Overall the staff here have been outstanding and although I’ve had complications I think they were just unfortunate. I wouldn’t doubt the care that every team member has shown and I wouldn’t worry if I had to return (hopefully I don’t!)
