Report
I cannot speak highly enough of Joe McRae. I am a very nervous patient (terrified probably describes it better!) and Joe is kind, patient, understanding and knowledgeable with a lovely sense of humour that diverts me from my panic. I had to have a wisdom tooth removed and Joe explained exactly what he was going to do, making it sound very simple which reassured me. I did not feel the tooth being removed, I had very little pain following the extraction and the gum healed well. In all my 65 years, I can honestly say that Joe is the best dentist that I've ever had. I would not hesitate to recommend him unreservedly.
