The service was the best I have ever had and my new Dentist Hanieh Azarpeikan was amazing, explained everything in detail and put me at ease as soon as I entered the room. So thank you all highly recommended 5☆'s

I recently moved to this practice from another local dentist, and I’m so glad I made the switch. From the moment I walked in, the receptionist, dental assistant, and dentist have all been incredibly lovely, caring, and professional. The practice itself is very welcoming and spotlessly clean, which instantly put me at ease.As someone who has developed a lot of anxiety around dental visits due to bad experiences in the past, I can’t express how relieved I am to be receiving treatment from such a supportive and understanding team. They’ve made a huge difference in helping me feel comfortable again, and I finally feel like I’m in safe hands.Highly recommend to anyone—especially those who may be nervous or have had negative experiences elsewhere

Dr Yega went over and above to look after me and provided me with an exemplary level of care. She even came in on her day off to complete the work, which I totally appreciated. The quality of the dental work is outstanding and I would know, as I have seen many dentists over the years! Caroline Higgins

Saw Dr Rateb Makawi and his colleague this morning and he was so kind, helpful and really took his time to explain any questions I had. I wouldn't trust anyone else to touch my teeth apart from him.The secretary staff are welcoming and friendly as you walk into the practice.

Myself and my 8 year old daughter have been seeing Ms Y. Safaeikhoor for our routine dental appointments for the past year. When it comes to going to the Dentist, I am usually very nervous and apprehensive, however not anymore, this lady is so kind, caring and gentle, straight away she put me at ease. She is very good with my daughter too and takes time to engage with her.

My little one is very lucky to have a great dentist like Dr. Makawi and his nurse Shamina. He had been great in explaining every step of any dental procedure that he was about to do with my little one, demonstrating what different equipment used, and my little one loves going to visit him. We all need a lovely dentist like him when we were young! :)

I’ve been waiting for such a long time to leave a review!!!I am going to start with my experience as a nurse. Let’s put in simple words.You want to lean? You want you to do high standard treatments in aesthetics, restorative or implants? You want to push your limits? You want to make your pathway in this career?Then join this team they tend to be a bit extra but they are all amazing characters! An one this is for sure… it’s never boring 🤣🤣🤣I had the absolute pleasure to start working with the lovely Dr. Nabil who had the kindness and the patience to put up with me when I first started. Forever grateful! Thank you!I think I worked with everyone in East Sussex Alliance and i can only say not only that they are amazing people and brilliant Doctors.Dr. Yegi what a beautiful rocky way was to discover a perfect nice, caring and ambitious young lady. A privilege to meet a friend and a pleasure to work with.Prof. Jag omg!!! He’s just brilliant in every way possible! This amazing Doctor makes implant procedures look easy and gave me the confidence to feel that way about it as well.Dr. Karan, Dr. Nozhan, Dr. Hamid, Dr. Amir such a delight to have met and work with.Dr. Rateb … inspired me when i didn’t think anything can get my interest. He’s ambition for providing the best possible treatment, self development, patient journey, treatment procedures, procedure to a procedure 🤣 pushed my limits constantly to become better and to be better. Thank you for the torture training in the beginning! I learned a lot and realised I really enjoy a good challenge.As a patient… what can I say I have a beautiful smile that will stay with me forever.I was always aware when i was smiling and often cover as I never liked my teeth.I cannot say thank you enough to Dr. Rateb for making this change in my life and putting up with my specific requirements for my treatment (i know i can be difficult and part of my treatment was not that easy) luckily Dr. Rateb also likes a challenge. Good luck! You’re going to do amazing things!5 stars for Chloe!!!! Young and scary smart! Beautiful soul and the best organisational skills I’ve ever seen in all my years!Dr. Punita is an ocean of wisdom and knowledge and i had the pleasure to nurse and learn from her.See you xx🙏

I have always struggled going to the dentist as I never had the best experience with them. For a while now I have been seeing Dr. Yega along with my sister and I couldn’t be happier!Dr Yega is super friendly, very professional, listens carefully to everything you say and takes extra care of her patients.I’m super grateful for Dr Yega and the help of Gracie today. Couldn’t recommend more!

I am very impressed with my experiences at Clinic 43, Eastbourne.

I recently received treatment from Dr. Karan, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Dr. Karan took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the treatment process, ensuring I understood exactly what procedures I would undergo and the reasons behind each one. His expertise and attention to detail instilled great confidence in me.In addition to Dr. Karan's exceptional care, his nurse, Iara, was incredibly kind and supportive throughout my visit. Together, they created a comfortable and reassuring environment.Thank you so much, Dr. Karan and Iara, for your outstanding service!

If you need multiple fillings and root canals and are a really anxious patient, then Dr makawi at clinic 43 is the dentist for you!!!I have always felt so nervous at the dentist and have been to so many over the years, however when I came to clinic 43 this all changed.As I needed alot of black fillings replaced with white fillings and a root canal, I was very scared at the prospect of this. After already consulting multiple dentists opinions they told me I would have to get the tooth removed, however Dr makawi reassured me and discussed a treatment plan that best suited my dental needs and ment that I could save my tooth from extraction, inwhich I was overjoyed as this was something that was really important to me.Even after multiple appointments the anesthetic was a painless experience and fully explained so I was able to relax and know that I was being well cared for.The outstanding professionalism, kind and caring manner really made a big difference in my treatment being carried out, so overall this was an amazing experience thank you to Dr makawi and everyone who helped me through my dental journey, I will be forever grateful and now I can finally smile again 😁😁😁with the confidence of knowing that it was a job well done .

Recently had to come in for an appointment. Dr. Rateb Makawi saw me through it, a quick routine check up, and was very kind and welcoming. Thank you to him and the staff at the front desk for your help and patience.

Finally braved it to the dentist after about 10 years avoidance. Typical story of having had a bad experience as a child and I then used the difficulty of registering with an NHS dentist as a complete excuse to just not go.I was recommended Dr Makawi and reluctantly registered for a check up and hygienist appointment. My worst fear happened and I was told I would need a filling. I booked in for said filling, knowing that leaving it will only make it worse. I've just left Dr Makawis treatment room with a successful filling and can honestly say that it was a really painless experience!I turned up very anxious and he made the time to talk to me about why and what part of the procedure was worrying me. I explained it was the injection for the local anesthetic. He talked me through what he usually does, which is use numbing cream first but also gave me the choice to try without the injection if I preferred. I went for this option and he let me know I can change my mind at any point. On the one moment I was uncomfortable he stopped and offered the pain relief. He explained this bit will only last for about 20seconds longer so I decided to continue without and it was absolutely fine. I took my ear buds and he was happy to allow me to listen to a podcast throughout the procedure as a distraction too.I really appreciated Dr Makawis calm, kind approach. His style was trauma informed (I don't know if he knows this or not!) By giving me choices throughout and letting me feel in control, it made me feel able to go through with what needed to happen. There were no tears and I left with a big smile on my face!

If you're like me, a visit to the dentist can be a worrying experience. After several visits, both with my young son and by myself, its clear that Dr. Rateb and his assistants (Keira and Camelia) manage to be both highly skilled and reassuringly relaxed and friendly in the way they go about their business. They make you feel like you count as an individual. The reception staff also acquit themselves very well.

Lisa Oliveros

15:43 25 Mar 24

This review is in respect of Dr Rateb and cami. They are a 5 star team! Always a welcoming greeting and a smile from them both on every visit. They show patience, provide clear explanation on any treatment plans/options and all with a sense of humour. They are able to build relations with any age group, (Dr Rabteb treats both my 11yr old son and mother too). Visiting the dentist is not so bad after all! Thanks guys.

Dan Nicholls

I would highly recommend Dr Rateb, especially if you are considering aligners. He is knowledgeable, friendly and explains everything very well.I initially warmed to him as he maintained a great rapport with my children during their appointment.Cami the dental nurse is also excellent, always happy and smiling. Together they make a superb dental duo.

Just been seen by Dr Rateb today and just want to say I can 100% recommend him, he is the best dentist I have seen. He takes time to listen and carefully explains things. If you are a nervous patient, I can honestly say you will be so well looked after

Whist taking my son in for a routine checkup today, we happened to witness a compelling scene of kindness and professionalism. A member of staff was helping a customer with her paperwork in the waiting area. The customer was elderly and may have been slightly bewildered but the staff member showed patience and compassion. We were so impressed by this that I thought I would say something to the staff member before I left, but unfortunately they were clearly too busy. So I thought we would say it here. Excellent work.

Carole Spears

14:08 07 Feb 24

Doctor Rateb Makawi filled my tooth today.i was very impressed with how thorough he was and with an injection it was almost painless. Throughout the procedure he checked I was okay and I felt very relaxed and confident in his skill.I would definitely recommend Rateb as a very skilled and reassuring dentist. I would not hesitate to have further dental treatment with him.

Excellent dentist. Had a full mouth disinfection before Chrismas, originally went in very nervous but my dentist Dr R Makawi talked through the procedure before and during it. Made me feel very comfortable and at ease during the procedure. After care/ follow up appointment again all brilliant, everything spoken about in great detail.Thank you for a brilliant service.

I had an appointment yesterday with adam for preperation on a tooth for a crown, he was so kind & understanding when he new i was very anxious, i had seen him few weeks ago after i lost a piece of this particular tooth, i will say hes excellent kind & caring. On the previous appt his nurse Abbey was very reassuring as him. On arrival yesterday Abbey was at reception, seemingly not his nurse today, however ! I was so anxious again & both were so lovely last time i asked if she would be his nurse for my appt, she got up without hesitation went & had a word with him & his nurse and all was well. These days a bit of empathy goes a long way, adam & abbey showed & gave me that, to which im very grateful thank you so much guys.

Today Vicky and the dental nurse (so sorry I didn't get your name, Sam..?) treated me with such compassion and understanding. The efforts they went to for me were outstanding and I felt like they both treated my teeth as if they were their own. Thank you both so much. You made what was a scary experience for me a positive one. You have made me less scared of future treatments, that's for sure! Thank you!!

Dr Jyoti Saini was absolutely amazing she assured me the procedure will be pain free and true to her words it was. The outcome of my procedure was very satisfying and I would definitely recommend my friends and family Dr. Jyoti Saini is simply the best at what she does . 5 Star for her hard work and excellence.

I was referred to Clinic 43 to have three teeth surgically removed under sedation. The teeth had long roots and had broken off and my normal dentist wasn’t confident about the procedure and didn’t offer the sedation I wanted. Clinic 43 were brilliant from the first contact through to the after care, I really can’t fault them. The sedation worked perfectly and the two hour stint in the chair felt more like twenty minutes. I’ve been terrified of the dentist for all my life but the sedation made the procedure okay. I expected the following days to be quite painful but actually I’d describe them as ‘a little tender’; the sign of a very good job. George is a consummate professional and a highly able man and I really can’t recommend him and his team highly enough.

Went to the practice for an emergency ! Booked in straightaway with a smile even though its a very busy practice. The practice is beautiful, clean and very very modern. Has a Harley Street feel even though they do both NHS and Private. The dentist who I saw was superb. Got me out of pain on the same day. I needed root canal treatment which was started and was completely painless. I have had a few(unfortunately-toffees) but I can say that this was the best- no pain whatsoever. I would highly recommend this practice !
