Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • The shared fee guide lists private prices, NHS bands and monthly plan costs, so you can compare options before you call [3].

  • The February 2012 CQC inspection found the Wellington service meeting all standards checked, with the report published 23 February 2012 [6].

  • The team page names the Wellington principal dentist with a published GDC number you can look up on the GDC register [4].

Limitations

  • The CQC inspection dates from 2012, so it says little about current-day care [6].

  • Registration rests on site-published GDC numbers [4].

  • No insurance or guarantee wording is published on the site, so that category holds no score [1].
