Patients Testimonials

Susan M. Woodhouse (Mrs)
I recently underwent a dental operation about which I was very apprehensive. The whole staff went out of their way to allay my fears and to give me encouragement. In preparation I was fully briefed as to the procedure and was encouraged to ask questions.

During the operation I felt I was being really cared for and made to feel special. After the operation the aftercare was superb and I had the opportunity to ring Dr Malik at any time during that night if I had any problems whatsoever, or indeed in the next few days. Needless to say the operation was a great success.

I believe the skill and knowledge of this clinic is second to none in the UK I would highly recommend this Dental Clinic to anyone who asked. R.A.Winn
For over twenty years my wife and I have received treatment of the highest standard from both Dr. Malik, as the principal dental surgeon, and from his associates. Hygienist and reception staff have also been exceptionally caring and efficient.
My wife has reason to be particularly grateful for the rapid recognition and referral by Dr. Malik of an early stage oral cancer. This resulted in a successful operation at the Royal London Hospital in 1996.
Woodford House Dental Practice continues to be a great asset to this area, offering a wide range of dental services to both old and young alike.

As an experienced 'implantee' - with a good ten of them in my head - I'm telling this mainly to give the sort of info I might have found useful myself at the time.
Cost: of course you'll be involved in some. You'll also find, not only on the net, 'great savings' if you opt for treatment in Eastern Europe etc.; go down that road and you'll have to allow for a minimum of, say, 14 return flights, most of them at short notice, for the past-implant work and that is just the start, as near to home as possible made perfect sense to me.
The time element: At the end of the treatment you'll know why an experienced dental practitioner will not give an exact time span, every individual, (and every individual tooth) has a different 'healing speed', and this is sure the one thing you don't want to rush.
Pain: What pain? In some twenty sessions I experienced slight to medium discomfort on 2 - 3 occasions, never any pain. So you don't need courage, but a bit of stoicism will come in handy.
Benefits: Have a look at the "before and after" pix. They are genuine - the way these people look is the way they feel, ie. brill. Why Dr A Malik's Smile Design Dental Practice? Well, he has looked after us for years, he knows what he is doing, and I have now found out, there are few equal certainly none better. Heard of Dr Hilt Tatum? He is one of his consultants. sa i all. That says it all!
They have done a grand job on me for which I am grateful. These few lines ate the least IP can do for the team - and possibly for you.

Mr & Mrs T Barlow
My wife Heather has had many treatments whilst she has been a patient of Mr Malik's. The most outstanding being the implants she received some years ago. It was only due to the pre talks and information Mr Malik gave her that she was confident enough to go through with the work, as it all sounded quite bizarre. The post op care was superb and Mr Malik was on hand for weeks after to help in any situation that might have arisen, making her all the more comfortable with the situation.

For myself: I have never liked injections, and having to need them in the area being worked on (ie in the mouth) it made it even worse as I could see the needle going in. Previous to becoming a patient of Mr Malik's, I have always used dentists who could give me a shot in the arm to put me to sleep. Since joining Mr Malik's surgery, his confidence inspired my own, enough to enable me to undertake a considerable amount of work by being injected in the mouth. Not only is it Mr Malik himself that I would like to praise, but also all of his staff too. They are all very helpful and nice, and it makes it more all the more pleasurable to visit the dentist these days.

Andrea Sonkin
I have been a patient of the Woodford House Dental Practice for the last eighteen years.
On a professional level, the expertise of Mr. Malik and his team make me feel safe and confident and I know I am receiving the best possible care.
On a more personal level, both the dentists and support staff are always friendly and helpful.
The extended opening hours of the practice allow me to make appointments around my busy working week and if I ever have cause to need emergency treatment, I am always given a same day appointment. As you can probably tell, I am a very happy patient of this practice and even if the rest of my body should fall apart, I'll always have my teeth.

Don and Mary Brereton
We have been extremely fortunate to have had Dr Malik as our family dentist for approximately 16 years. During that time we have had unrivalled advice and treatment both for our ongoing dental care and for improving our 'smiles'. Dr Malik and his team have provided great care also for our son Sam who has severe learning difficulties and for whom dental treatment is potentially frightening. The team has treated him with enormous kindness, patience and sensitivity and has afforded these services to other people in similar circumstances.
Woodford House is very much a team effort, with every member exhibiting a high degree of professionalism, dedication and commitment to patient care. They are always unfailingly encouraging and helpful and take tremendous pride in their work appearing to derive personal pleasure from producing a successful and happy outcome for each patient.

As a nervous patient, new to the dental practice, I was put at ease by the reception staff as well as the dentist and dental nurse and felt very confident in the treatment being provided.

H. J. Vickers
My wife recommended Woodford Dental Practice some seventeen years ago. The first time I went for an appointment I was struck by the welcome smile from the lady receptionist, who took my details and booked me in for the next week to see Mr Malik.
I went and was made to feel at home, Mr Malik gave me an examination then explained what had to be done and I have never looked back since. I am now seeing Mr Ho who looks after me very well, as I have had a stroke and bit deaf, he is very patient with me and a nice lad.
The ladies on reception look after me like a dutch uncle, if I need an emergency filling they do their very best to fit me in.
Nobody likes going to the dentist but if you are lucky to find a good dentist and lovely staff then it's not too bad and I have.

Ian Webb
I would like to say thank you to you and all your colleagues for the excellent dental treatment that I received and the time that you devoted to me to explain all the treatments that I would require. I would be grateful if you would thank your colleagues on my behalf.
I was very impressed with the obvious professionalism that runs through out the dental practice. Having being told that you were "the number one dental practice in Woodford" not only was that confirmed but, my impression is, that you are excellent at all other aspects as well.

Fred Vincent
My wife and I have been with the practice since it opened and have always been more than satisfied with the service and attention we have received.
The dentists, the hygienists, the dental nurses and receptionists are always so pleasant and considerate that one could almost look forward to coming for treatment.

THE DENTIST.
by
Fred VINCENT.
The Lord, in his wisdom, gave us all teeth,
To chew on our fruit, vegetables and meat.
Satan, the devil, made sugar and spice
And ice cream and chocolate - all tasting nice.
Temptations, they win, again and again,
And rot all our teeth causing agony and pain.
To the dentist we go, a worrying thought,
To repair all the damage Satan has wrought.
Trembling with fear at the thought of the drill,
We enter the surgery, blood cold and chill.
Behind the counter, smiling and bright,
Two lovely girls - a welcoming sight.
They put you at ease, you've nothing to fear,
They make you relax and fill you with cheer.
The dentist will fix you, remove all your pain
So you can go back to the devil again.

Most of my life I have been aware of being very careful how I smiled. My teeth were overcrowded and crooked. Now with my wonderful new teeth I can really smile.
In fact I can beam!

Denise I.
I am extremely pleased that at 51 years old I was able to at last have a lovely smile. This has given me a happier and more confident outlook in life. I did not believe it would be possible as my teeth were crooked and also some were missing.

People now respond to me differently and are more warming to me. All in all the money spent was well worth it. Thank you Mr Malik and all the staff who helped achieve a stunning smile.

Pamela Harding
It has given me total confidence and has improved my outlook 100%.

Jean R.
Increased confidence in company of family and friends. Friends have remarked upon the great improvement and have said they would consider such treatment themselves.

Mr Malik was patient and considerate during the treatment and took time to ensure that the finished look was comfortable and right for me. My teeth look so much better for the treatment.

Monica Harris
People who know me well have not noticed anything about my changed smile, I’m happy with this. One person who doesn't’t know me that well noticed the whiteness and asked if I had had my teeth whitened.

My clients have commented about my smile:”You have a nice smile”

H. Wheeler
The care and attention which was shown to me during and after the procedure could not have been better. All those involved were so kind and considerate and acted with true professionalism.

The results were better than I could have expected and make me feel much more confident and happier with my appearance. Although the time taken to carry out the work was considerable at no point did I feel stressed or ill at ease, this was due to those who were carrying out the work.
Drina D.
Since I’ve had my teeth done I feel more confident and I feel better about myself.

Don B.
I have no hesitation in recommending your practice and indeed those who have seen the video of my daughter’s wedding have suggested that the credits should include – ‘father of the bride’s smile courtesy of Dr Malik’! An immediate use of the photograph was for press release for Notability. Again no credits but very grateful!

C. Clements
It’s now over a year since my cosmetic dental treatment and I’m delighted with the results. My teeth were horrible before, now they look normal and I feel so much more confident.

I would like to thank you for so patiently answering all my questions, putting me at my ease and for the excellent standard of care I received throughout. Thanks once again to you and your team.
