I had a toothache for a few weeks, and after an extensive search, I booked an appointment with Dr. Opperman. He was gentle, fixed my tooth, and explained clearly what was wrong and what needed to be done. I am a very satisfied patient and have finally found my long-lost dentist.🥰

Truly recommending this particular dental practice. As I experienced dental procedures in the past, non of them come near. They are truly amazing, especially Dr. H.J. Opperman as my personal dentist has a hand of an angel.

First class practice in Bishops Stortford. I have been going for years and they are genuinely great. The team at Hockerill Dental even makes the more complex dental procedures seem relatively straightforward and pain free. The ‘after service’ is excellent also.

It's been a long treatment journey for sure but I couldn't of been in a more safer professional service than that of David Nolte and his assistant Kendall. Oh boy, what a top class team they make!. Throughout my many treatments I was made to feel comfortable and totally reassured by David's knowledge, advice and his thorough work ethic along with Kendall. Overall I'm extremely happy with the results. Thank you for putting scary dentist visits well into the past!
