Dental surgery, Devizes – wonderful staff

I had a tooth out today which I had been dreading and due to this I was referred to the Devizes Surgical Centre for local anaesthetic. Despite being petrified, my experience was made 100 times better by the wonderful staff and even after having a bit of a panic during the procedure, I was calmed and cared for to such a great extent! Even down to one of the staff members holding my hand and soothing me to calm my breathing. Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thank you all and especially to to team who helped me, I only remember a couple of names of Al & Toni, but the whole team were more than amazing!
