Important — about this score
Please read before drawing conclusions about this clinic.
This score is an automated, opinion-based assessment generated by SmileJet's proprietary AI algorithm from publicly available information — including aggregated third-party reviews, clinic-published materials, and other open-source signals. It is not a statement of verified fact, a professional medical opinion, or an endorsement, and individual experiences may differ.
How the algorithm penalises scores
Our methodology applies score reductions where signals are detected that, in the algorithm's assessment, may indicate: unverifiable or potentially overstated claims about clinical experience or credentials; review patterns the model flags as inconsistent with organic user behaviour; or limited independent corroboration of marketing statements.
These adjustments reflect algorithmic signal-weighting only and do not constitute an allegation of any specific wrongdoing by this clinic or its staff.

My 5yo saw Tayla for a check up. We have seen Katie Ayres for the last two years, and have found a great practice to move on to. Tayla and Freya were warm, kind and patient with accommodations a 5yo needs to feel comfortable. They had Gabby’s Dollhouse on the TV, and gave a small gift at the end. A modern, clean practice. Thanks!
