Testimonials

Embarking on a complex programme of dental implants I was naturally nervous. Dr. Donnelly took time to explain the process and calm my apprehension. He is most kind, patient and indeed gentle. The perfect dentist for patients whom have for years had an irrational fear of the dentist's chair!
Mr. P. Johnston, Oxfordshire

I come back from Switzerland to see Tom for my regular check-ups and any necessary work. I appreciate that I am treated by Tom as a partner in any discussions so that decisions are made on what is good for my teeth, both in the short and long term, and not what is most convenient for the dentist. I also like the continuity of care and find all the staff friendly and helpful.
Mrs. S. Toet, Switzerland

Tom is the first dentist in my life to give me the dentistry I wanted. He listened when I said that I didn't want a crown on my front tooth I just wanted the chip filled. Every other dentist I had seen had me I needed a crown but Tom didn't and I've been delighted with the solution. I feel I now have the teeth and smile that I deserve. Tom also takes great care of my son's mouth and has motivated a teenage boy to take care of his teeth - and that's not an easy task.

In the years I have been with your practice I have developed a happy and professional relationship with each and every member of your team. It is fantasic to have my dental and cosmetic treatments under just one roof being so quick and convenient. Sharon is the best hygienist around Oxfordshire.

I first met Dr. Donnelly by referral from my regular dentist who had tried various methods in an attempt to overcome my personal problems. I had suffered a fair amount of pain, and a great deal of embarrassment over the previous years and was rather sceptical that a solution could be found which would give me back my confidence.

The reception at 41 South Bar was warm and friendly. With my treatment pointing towards needing implants, I was of course nervous at the thought of such a big step. Dr. Donnelly gave me an appraisal of the state of play and said that he would find a scheme to suit my needs. In the meantime, I sat down with Marie to discuss the procedure fully. The explanation was detailed and thorough, and her enthusiasm was quite infectious and reassuring.

The whole process was a fantastic experience and the major bonus, for me, was that I was fully briefed prior to each section of the work. I felt that I knew what was going on and that there would be no nasty surprises. Dr. Donnelly quickly showed his skills and a great deal of care and consideration were shown towards me. Everything has been an enormous success.
Mr. T. Taylor, Warwickshire

I have been a patient of Toms for 14 years - since we moved to Banbury and somebody on South Bar saw me wandering about looking for a dentist and recommended Tom. During that time, I have never had my teeth so well cared for. Tom diagnosed the problems I had been having for several years more accurately and logically than ever before and completely rejuvenated my approach to dental care and hygiene. I have needed very little treatment, but the treatment I have had has been timely, pain free and best of all 'fear free'. Tom keeps himself more than up to date with the latest techniques and thinking and does not advocate unnecessary dental work. He handles my 'barmy' questions patiently and takes time to explain his answers. I am now more 'tuned into' my teeth better than ever before and it has paid dividends. I think the biggest difference since being with this practice has been an absolute trust in Tom and I would have no hesitation in recommending 41 South Bar to anyone. This is dentistry at its best - practical, supportive and proactive.

I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Donnelly as an excellent dental surgeon who carried out my comprehensive dental treatment. My original upper dental bridge, made by another dentist, was supported only on two canine teeth with result that the bridge work was highly stresses and eventually failed. Dr. Donnelly carried out a thorough examination of my teeth and described a complete plan of treatment. This involved , among other work, the insertion of three implants allowing the provision of five anchor points for the upper bridge. The lower denture was reconstructed to fit in with the work carried out on the upper bridge. The treatment was carried out according to plan and was entirely to my satisfaction.

I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to you and Tom for making me feel 'young' again. I have always trusted Tom to take care of my teeth and he has always done an amazing job. Since you started offering botox as you know it hasn't been something that I have been interested in until two weeks ago. During a conversation I admitted to you that I am so conscious of my jaw line starting to droop and how old it made me feel. My partner says he doesn't notice but that doesn't help much because I notice and I see my jaw looking more and more like my mum's and I have to say it has affected my confidence. When you told me Tom could do something to help me I was so excited and all my previous reservations disappeared - it's amazing how easy a decision it was. You told me it would take a week or two to see a difference but I started to see one the next day and over the next 2 weeks it just got better and better. It may seem OTT but it made me smile from ear to ear. I can't thank you enough for that conversation and for restoring my confidence. It has also opened my eyes to what is possible for a small cost and without resorting to the scalpel.
Mrs. H. Hutchings, Warwickshire

I believe that prevention is better than cure, so I have been having Botox for several years starting at the age of 30. It is painless and gives me a great boost. I also love the way Tom checks his work two weeks later to see if any adjustments need to be made. Couldn't do without it!
