Glaucoma Eye Test at Opticians, Wakefield

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Hello, my name is ***********. I had the OCT 3-D scan as part of my routine eye test, and it picked up my glaucoma.

The tests for glaucoma with the standard NHS eye test did not detect any problems, and I was shocked to find out that 40% of damage has to be done till glaucoma is detected with the NHS eye test!

I am so glad I had it done, I am receiving treatment for my glaucoma now and without that scan my retina would have continued to deteriorate for another year till I saw my Optician again. But now that my Optician has picked it up early, the damage will stop.

I would recommed OCT to everyone, it saved my sight.

Wakefield Dentist Testimonials

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Dear Pollards

Just a few words to express my thanks and satisfaction at the treatment received with my dental implant. I felt confident and assured at all stages, from initial consultation to the final completion. This was down to detailed explanation throughout and thorough discussion after each stage.

My expectations have been well managed and I am delighted with the result. Each stage has been easy for me as a patient and I have suffered absolutely no discomfort.

I will continue to recommend you to friends and family and thank you for your care, attention and professionalism. Our relationship has also exceeded my expectations and we have enjoyed some good humour along the way. 

Yours Sincerely
S. Terry

After not visiting a dentist for three years I was very apprehensive about an appointment with someone unknown. However Dr Hassan and his assistant Natalie totally put me at ease and were very friendly and professional.

All my treatment was first class and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Hassan to new clients.

Unfortunately I had visited many second rate dentists over the years – leaving me with a large number of painful teeth, ugly amalgam fillings, missing teeth and a smile no would be proud of.

From the moment I entered into the surgery, I felt totally relaxed and under no obligation from Dr Hassan, who spent a lot of time explaining what options were available. I was shown many photos of the work he had carried out and was very impressed with what I was shown.

The atmosphere within the surgery is very relaxing and comfortable, the facilities, equipment and hygiene standards are absolutely top class.

I have undergone tooth whitening, numerous filling replacements, bridgework and crowns and have not experienced a moment’s pain or even discomfort.

Dr Hassan and his staff are very calming, professional and knowledgeable and I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Hassan as a cosmetic or remedial dentist – his enthusiasm, ability and attention to detail are second to none.

At the age of 64 I thought that for me broad smiles and confident grins were a thing of the past. After years of drinking tea and coffee, my teeth were discoloured and I was conscious each time I smiled. That changed when I decided to have my teeth whitened. Perhaps I was lucky not to have sensitive teeth, for I found the treatment very easy and painless. Once the impressions had been taken and the trays had been made for my teeth, it was mainly about developing a nightly routine. Remembering to put a small amount of gel into the trays and wearing the trays for 14 nights was hardly challenging.

After about 5 nights I could clearly see the difference and by the time the treatment was finished I was really impressed with the result.

On leaving the dentist I walked slowly back to the car, wanting to smile at everyone just for the chance to show off my new white teeth.

I would like to thank everyone at Pollards Dental Clinic for their excellent care these past few months. The staff were all very friendly and polite, they put me at ease immediately. Options were discussed and explained clearly before any treatment commenced. The results have given me my confidence back and I can smile again! I would recommend the practice to all my friends.

Being without a dentist for so many years and not for lack of enquiring, we eventually saw an advertisement in the Wakefield Express for Pollards. We made our appointments, and, what a breath of fresh air. The service and aftercare were absolutely brilliant; we are treated like human beings. We can walk down the street with a smile on our faces, knowing that we are in good hands, keep up the good work.

Mr and Mrs D

Having experienced problems with an NHS dentist for a prolonged period of time without resolution I contacted Pollards for an initial consultation appointment. My underlying problem was infections that had developed in the roots of two teeth after having veneers fitted by an NHS dentist two years prior. At the initial consultation, I found Dr Hassan incredibly supportive and patient in his handling of my condition and circumstances.

He talked me through in great detail the varying options regarding my treatment plan and also advised me on the best course of action. The timescale and the likely scenarios I may face whilst undergoing the treatment were also explained. The consultation alone gave me a much better understanding of my situation and likely treatment plan which I had never experienced with an NHS dentist, with the time and attention given also being much higher.

The actual work carried out was done thoughtfully, patiently and with great consideration for me as a patient. The environment within the surgery is first class and along with a great camaraderie generated between the nurse, Dr Hassan and myself, it was a whole new and surprisingly pleasant experience in comparison to any other dental treatment I have received.

The quality of the facilities in terms of waiting room, dental equipment, comfort and most importantly patient after care was first class. I even received calls the day after the surgery to see how I was feeling and to further explain what I was likely to feel like over the following days.

I will always use this dental surgery for treatment in the future and cannot recommend it highly enough. A different league to any previous dental experience.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done for me over the last six months. I was petrified of going to a dentist, everything about it was stressful. I only went when i had chronic toothache. I had previously had two dentists in twenty years, both of which put me off totally. On my first visit to you I was stressed, scared and shaking uncontrollably. The first thing I noticed was the lack of that dentist smell. There was no having to wait around, so not causing stress to me. Dr Hassan and the nurse were so friendly, understanding AND patient. Most importantly I was not spoken to in a condescending manner which I was used to! Due to this I have since had a lot of work done, the results speak for themselves. My front teeth were discoloured, broken, rotting and crooked. So speaking to people and smiling were kept to a minimum, I felt so embarrassed. Now, I just want to smile and show them off, it’s done so much for my self confidence. I cannot thank them enough. I feel so stress free that i never miss an appointment. I even sit and watch T.V whilst my work is being done.

Thanks again for making me smile again.

First Time Varifocals!

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

When i was told i would needed varifocals for the  first time i was very apprehensive after having heard all the bad experiences that my friends and family had encounted. I sat down with the optical team and they very patiently went through all the advantages of the lenses and how they would work . Eventually we found a varifocal to suit my active lifestyle.

The team explained to me how i would feel in the first few days of wearing my new lenses and the strange experiences i would encounter; this included  the constant head movement  to find my focus  and simple things such as walking down stairs would seem a little strange. I was reassured that this was perfectly normal and what every first time varifocal wearer experienced in the beginning.

Now 3 Weeks into wearing my new varifocals i have no regrets and i am happy with my choice to give varifocals a try. I would like to thank the whole team who made my experience at Pollards througholy enjoyable and for their help and advise.

ONE VERY HAPPY PATIENT!

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Dear Dr Hassan

I am writing to thank you for your excellent work on my front tooth. I am delighted with the implant and tooth, it fits, it matches, it looks good, it is secure and its a huge improvement on the crown that I had before and that had failed.

You advised at the onset of the treatment plan that on a scale of 1-10 (where 10 is most difficult) that this would be a 9. However you proposed a plan to address all of the challengesand then executed the plan with great skill and profesionalism. Whilst I am delighted with the final result, I imagine you too are pleased with your work – and so you should be, you did a great job.

Please also pass on my thanks to all the staff, they were very kind to me, in particular during the first stages when I found the procedures a little stressful to say the least.

Finally I am very grateful that when treatment needed to be extended a little, costs did not become an issue.

Yours sincerely

Mr M

Lovely cup of tea!

Mrs B, Denby Dale

“I am more than happy with all the staff at Pollards, they take time to
help with choosing glasses. I even had a lovely cup of tea whilst I was waiting
for my glasses to be repaired!

There is no improvement needed in the service I have received, everyone had great
attention to detail.

I would highly recommend the practice to everyone I know, I have never had
this kind of attention and service at other opticians.”

First class service! LJB, Eastmoor, Wakefield

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

LJB has been a patient of Pollards Opticians since 1968. She has since recommended her daughter, her husband and her grandchildren to the practice.

My experience of Pollards Opticians:

“A caring and friendly practice. Mrs Hassan was honest and told me that I didn’t need a change of glasses. She helped my husband with some new reading glasses and took time to explain in detail the eye conditions he has. I was asked if I would change anything about my visit, but the service I experienced was first class!”
