In patients' words

These were written by patients, unprompted, and are published here with their permission. Most have been coming to me for twenty years or more. They are shown by initials, which is what almost everyone asked for.

"Dr Batavia has been looking after my teeth, and those of my partner, for over 30 years. He inspires confidence with his deep clinical knowledge and is super-skilled in carrying out the work. He explains clearly any treatments he recommends and always provides me with options for how I might proceed. Delighted to recommend him."

D.O.

"On a friend's recommendation, I consulted Hitesh Batavia for an examination of my teeth and gums, as well as advice on whitening my teeth. He explained the available whitening options, from bright white to a gentler result, and I chose the latter. Hitesh did an excellent job, and I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend him; he is friendly, professional, and clearly takes great care in his work."

"I first came across Dr Batavia more than 30 years ago when I was suffering from sensitivity in my teeth. He quickly diagnosed the problem, and I have been going regularly to him for check-ups and treatment ever since. Dr Batavia has an excellent bedside manner and has always made me feel comfortable and relaxed about any proposed treatment. I would highly recommend him."

"Dr Hitesh Batavia is a dentist in a million. I have been a patient of his for more than 2 decades. After some bad experiences with dentists in my childhood and early adulthood, finding Hitesh was akin to a miracle. He is genuinely interested in his patients, always calm and seemingly unrushed. Any treatment I have required has always been thoroughly discussed and expertly and gently undertaken. I no longer fear going to the dentist. Friends to whom I have recommended him have been equally pleased."

"Hitesh has been looking after my teeth brilliantly for many years. He has fitted crowns and fillings, carried out deep gum cleaning, whitened my teeth, and of course cleaned them regularly. I have complete confidence in his up to date knowledge and skills and in his ability to make the whole experience as calm and relaxing as possible. I also appreciate the fact that he makes a real effort to explain not only what needs to be done but also why. And with his advice and encouragement I have learned how to keep my teeth and gums cleaner and more trouble-free in between appointments."

K.P.

"I live in Australia for 8 months of the year and come to London for 4. About 8 or so years ago now I looked up 'a holistic dentist near me' on the internet and arrived in my mid-60s at Hitesh's surgery with teeth in much need of attention. Every summer since then I have returned to his care. Despite my age, I had never learned to clean my teeth properly and Hitesh painstakingly taught me, and as a result my gums went from being in a dire state of inflammation to something resembling normal. He has had to remove some of my teeth but replaced one with an amazing bridge and, just recently, he designed and had made a brilliantly-fitting plate for me. He always provides options for ongoing dental treatment and carefully explains all the options and then talks you through the path you have chosen. In all, I couldn't more highly recommend Hitesh's dental expertise."

V.B.

"I have been a patient of Dr Batavia for over 25 years. Initially, I went in for veneers on my front teeth and I was really happy with the results. I still get compliments on them. Since then I have been seeing him regularly 3 times a year. At nearly 60, my teeth are in wonderful condition and I couldn't be happier. I recommend Dr Batavia to all my friends needing a dentist."

G.B.M.

"I would highly recommend Dr Batavia to anyone who is nervous about visiting a dentist. I went to Dr Batavia 22 years ago when I had a botched root canal procedure from another dentist. He was very professional, kind and gentle from the onset right through the full correction. Since then, I have had numerous procedures including whitening, bonding and Invisalign. He has consistently delivered and exceeded expectations, which in turn has a huge impact on my health and wellbeing. Once again, thank you Dr Batavia."

C.N.

"I have always had a lot of anxiety and fear when visiting a dentist due to past experiences. When I met Dr Batavia I immediately felt at ease. He was extremely reassuring and gentle. He tried to understand my fear and acknowledge it. During my first treatment with him, he was extremely cautious and gentle, and would explain to me every stage of the process and offered to pause if needed. I've had to have quite a few treatments, like fillings and wisdom teeth removal, to name a few. The care prior, during and after is impeccable. I would get regular calls from him checking on my recovery. I felt completely 'held' by him. During regular cleaning sessions he would advise and demonstrate in detail on caring for your teeth daily, which has kept my teeth in great shape, and I feel truly confident with myself. 20 years later I will never let anyone but Dr Batavia touch my teeth. Thank you so much Dr Batavia, you truly are incredible at what you do. If you are feeling the way I did, I can suggest in full confidence to reach out to him."

A.N.

"Dr Hitesh Batavia has been my dentist for more years than I can remember. Thanks to him and his wonderful care over the years I still have a full set of my own teeth at the advanced age of 79. I think that says it all! He is a local legend for his expertise, care and empathy."

J.C.

"I've been seeing Hitesh for over 25 years and always received good and thorough treatment. Recently I had an extremely painful jaw. I secured an emergency appointment involving a full check including an X-ray of my whole mouth. There was no obvious dental issue, but Hitesh knew that further investigation was needed given the pain and visible swelling. He advised me to go to the A&E at King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill, which has a dental school. The X-rays he had taken and shared with me assisted the team at the A&E with their dental colleagues to diagnose and treat me. Hitesh goes above and beyond."

A.C.

"I have been a patient of Dr Batavia for around 20 years. I first visited his practice when I had complex issues necessitating root canal treatment and a crown fitted. Since then, I've benefitted from Hitesh's holistic and caring approach. Most recently I needed an emergency appointment on a Friday afternoon after breaking a crown. Over the weekend Hitesh went the extra mile arranging for specialist treatment the following week. I am very happy to recommend Dr Hitesh Batavia."

R.L.A.

"When seeking a new dentist, a friend recommended I try Dr Batavia's dental practice. I have been very satisfied with my treatment over the past two decades. Dr Batavia's holistic and caring approach has ensured I follow healthy dental practices. I would definitely recommend Dr Batavia."
