Just to let you know DH had terrible experience with this dental surgery. We booked early appt to take our 3 little ones to see the dentist for checkup before school which they knew about, waited 20mins and they were seeing other patients. When prompted the receptionist didn't really care (given that there are 3 twitchy children eagerly waiting as well) at which point as it was getting close to school time DH complained about the wait with no apology or explanation given. He decided to leave the surgery and she (receptionist) just said "have a good day". Rubbish we will obviously be changing surgeries. Place just isn't the same these days and I know a few of the other dentists have left.
Yes sorry Northcross Rd! Waiting was never that much of a problem before for us, just their appointments management and on this occasion lack of professionalism. One time I got a call to say why I was late for an appt, when they had booked me in at the wrong time themselves, the dentist actually apologised and told me quite a few people had experienced problems with their booking system and were booked in at wrong times. I used to go to Gardens as a child to see Dr Freeman, think he's retired now. Didn't have good experiences I must say as a child, hope it's better these days.

I tried to take my children there on 2 separate occasions and both time we got there to be told that our appointment was cancelled with as no dentist, neither time did I receive a phone all to tell me this so a wasted journey including one at 8am in the morning.


I have since moved them to my practice which is in Lewisham but very good and very reliable


Would not bother with the NX Rd one again even though it is a 5 min walk from my house- useless

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
