What our patients say about us:

Sue Godsell

14:49 25 Feb 25

This is a lovely homely surgery. Everyone is so nice and helpful. All mod cons which helps the patient to understand what exactly is going on and all procedures are explained in detail. A very caring and empathetic Practice. I am disabled and every effort is made to ensure I can use a downstairs treatment room.

Elizabeth Goddard

I am very glad that I found Townes and Townes. I knew I needed extensive work on my teeth, but it took me years to find a dentist I can trust when I moved to Gloucestershire.I have had a fair bit of work done on my teeth at Townes and Townes over the years. Dr Phil Towne talks me through the procedures, gives me options, is honest about outcomes, listens to me, gives good advice, and I am truly content with the dental work he has done for me.The dental surgery has a hygienist on the premises, and a good network of dental experts. For instance, I was invery good hands when I did have to go to Towne and Towne's recommended implant specialist In Bristol. All in all, I am very happy with Townes and Townes.

Sharon Williams

21:32 12 Feb 25

Phil extremely thorough on examination, clear explanation as to why certain things were being done but not condescending in any way. Good sense of humour and personable, would make you feel at ease if you were an anxious patient.Chloe hygienist, professional, clear information given to improve oral health, caring in her manner. Thank you both 😁

Nick Macer

20:42 01 Feb 25

Excellent, friendly, efficient service. After leaving my previous dentist in Stroud I was able to get an initial appointment within a few days and, incredibly, another appointment for my badly needed filling the day after that! So, my advice to others would be, go somewhere else and leave these guys to me 😊

Sylvia Humphrey

12:32 01 Feb 25

Very happy as usual. Townes & Townes are efficient, using up to date methods and technologies to look after me. They are also kind and supportive of their patients.

Townes & Townes is a lovely little practice in Stonehouse.There is parking opposite and if you are unable to get a space outside there is a large free car park just a short walk up the high street.I have been going here for about 20 years now.Phil and the team are all really friendly.Jackie ( on reception ) always makes you feel comfortable and put’s you at ease and has always been so helpful and friendly.I know many people that come here too and say exactly the same.If you are looking for a local, professional, friendly and affordable dentist look no further.

John Dey

15:46 04 Dec 24

Always feel special at this dentist even though he got a lots of people. Always explain what he going to do. And makes you feel at rest during treatment . Well done to all the friendly staff as well . Even with all going on with covid 19. Its still a 5 star from me.. Now we are in 2024 its still a 5 star treatment. Got a bit more expensive but you pay for good treatment and service . Well done to all. Even after my last treatment on 3rd December still all the above still stand on treatment and knowing what Phil us going to do and good job done.

Pete Watt

17:23 27 Nov 24

Phil is easily the best dentist I have ever been to. He takes the time to explain the options for treatment, cost and likely outcomes, and there is no pressure to decide in a hurry. Just had a tooth filled by a very skilled and gentle dentist, hardly felt the needle going in for the local anaestetic. Makes visiting the dentist as enjoyable as it can be - would happily recommend to anyone!

Michael Dale

16:29 14 Nov 24

Great dentist, open and honest evaluation and lovely chair side manner.

Alexander Golev

16:49 26 Oct 24

Friendly, professional, client-centric.

Sandra Beard

Maralyn Williams

08:28 24 Oct 24

Nothing to mark down, first class throughout. I would highly recommend this dental practice. Phil, Barbara, Jackie and all the team are brilliant. I saw Chloe yesterday (hygienist) very thorough and professional

Peter Wharton

10:11 19 Oct 24

Phil Townes has been looking after my teeth for many years. I have always appreciated his skill and use of technology with pictures and X-rays to explain what needs to be done and to show the results of his work. Highly recommended.

Helen Price

09:43 19 Oct 24

Both Phil and Barbara Townes are excellent dentists, efficient, professional and considerate, as is Chloe, the hygienist. I would recommend them without hesitation, especially to people with an old fashioned fear of dentists.

Duncan Darling

12:20 18 Oct 24

Excellent dentist, happy to recommend.

Steve Humphrey

14:35 17 Oct 24

Philip and the whole team at Townes and Townes have looked after my teeth for many years now, I would never consider anyone else to look after my dental health. I recently had a “disaster “ when having a wisdom tooth removed by the NHS, it almost needs such a difficult time to fully appreciate just how caring and professional the team are, their care, compassion and commitment quite simply got me through the aftermath of the NHS. We should not have to pay for high quality dental care but it is really worth every penny.

Nigel wratten

19:18 02 Oct 24

Made to feel welcome and comfortable. Usually a bit fearful going to the dentist, but not here

Yasmine Bowden

11:12 02 Oct 24

Best Dental practice for miles . Caring Compassionate Practitioners with expert skills . Highly recommended.

Paul Chater

09:29 20 Sep 24

I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for Townes and Townes, a dental practice that my wife, our three children, and I have been faithfully visiting for many years now.We are continually impressed by their professional approach to dental care. Their team is always readily available, especially during emergencies, providing us with a sense of reassurance that is truly invaluable. This level of commitment and dedication to their patients is something we deeply appreciate and it's one of the many reasons why we wouldn't consider going anywhere else for our dental needs.Over the years, we've had various dental procedures carried out at Townes and Townes. Each time, the experience has been stress-free, thanks to their exceptional service and the expertise of their staff. They have consistently provided us with top-notch dental care, ensuring our comfort and well-being at every step of the process.Barbara and Phillip, in particular, have always been incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their warm personalities, combined with their professional competence, make each visit a pleasant experience. We feel fortunate to have such a high-quality dental practice available locally to cater to our dental needs.In conclusion, we are more than just satisfied with the services provided by Townes and Townes. We are truly grateful for their dedication to providing excellent dental care and for their unwavering commitment to their patients.Paul Chater

Elaine McNeill

17:43 19 Sep 24

New to the area and I was recommended Townes & Townes by someone I met who has lived locally for a long time. Certainly not disappointed. Impressed by the dentist and also the hygienist who I need to visit regularly because of gum disease. She is very supportive, thoughtful and responsive with her treatment.

Jules Jordan

16:56 07 Sep 24

I have a big phobia of dentists , but I can honestly say that Phil is the most patient, understanding and gentle dentist I’ve had . He is definitely a perfectionist and his work is the best quality.

suzanne bennett -smith

08:44 04 Sep 24

The receptionist, Jackie, is friendly and welcoming. She will sort everything for you with care and efficiency. My dentist, Dr Barbara Townes is an angel in disguise, she gives pain free treatment. She is caring, efficient, explains everything and is super talented. I can’t recommend her high enough. She is simply the best. Lovely surgery, lovely people.

wayne bradley

13:58 03 Sep 24

Amazing service yesterday contacted the receptionist in the morning and in the afternoon I was treated and not in pain at all after my treatment. Very professional staff all round.

Gillian Dalgleish-Smith

17:02 29 Aug 24

I would highly recommend Townes and Townes dental surgeons. The level of care given by has always been outstanding to myself and family. You are not just a set of teeth you are a person who is holistically looked after. I would highly recommend them.

Hollie Benneyworth

Very good service, hygenist very gentle but thorough

T H

11:12 17 Jul 24

A friendly and welcoming dental practice. I've been with this practice for about 2 years now and have found them to be consistently good. Jackie the receptionist is friendly and helpful and goes out of her way to be of assistance. I would highly recommend the hygenist and dentists as they are about finding the best solutions for looking after your teeth and also put you at ease.

Patricia Evans

22:10 10 Jul 24

Dr Willey is an excellent dentist, I can't fault his work. He is a caring thoughtful considerate dentist.

Darren Parsond

16:11 26 Jun 24

Tim Martel

07:57 21 Jun 24

Great work, I had a crown on a front tooth that you really can't tell the difference to other teeth. I like their care and attention to detail and also care on gum health, other risks.

P G

14:56 17 Jun 24

For a start, Philip Townes is an excellent dentist, taking both care and pride in his service to our teeth.But what I so appreciate is the time he gives each of us, carefully explaining the situation, setting out the choices and most importantly, covering the different costs related to these options, a topic that surprisingly is not often so explicitly mentioned.A shout-out to Sinéad as well, the hygienist, who uses my annual cleaning session as an opportunity to show me the areas I miss and the best techniques to use to get at these. My teeth are in so much better shape having taken on board her "lessons."Such a great team!

Tim Mcneill

09:09 15 Jun 24

I am of the age where I regularly present Dr Barbara Townes with dental challenges! Her skills and expertise are second to none. I am exceptionally impressed by the Optimal Dental team and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and highly professional dental practice.

Judith Pring

17:03 12 Jun 24

I have been going to the 'Townes ' Practise for many years & always feel as if I am going into a warm & friendly place! From the smiling face in reception onwards I feel cared for. Examination & treatment is always thorough & well considered with good explanations. I have never been kept waiting a significant time .This week I attended for my hygienist appointment. As usual she was thorough kind and efficient. I used to go slightly early to look at the magazines! Covid has put a temporary stop to that.

elaine e

14:55 09 May 24

Going to a new dentist is always very stressful but my experience with Townes and Townes in Storehouse was excellent right from my first call to the surgery when the receptionist was so friendly and helpful. My dentist Mr Philip Townes is extremely competent and was great at telling me what to expect throughout the treatment. I would definitely recommend this dental practise.

Rose Mitchell

This is an exceptional dental practice where the standards of both care, explanation and advice are of the top order. I have travelled around the UK extensively and this is by some way the best dental experience I have had.I cannot recommend them enough under normal circumstances. The additional COVID Measures necessary at the moment were very reassuring.

Michael Keech

08:03 23 Jun 23

After just having finished treatment with the Townes and Townes dental practice; I am once more thoroughly impressed with its modern equipment and practises; though seeing your own teeth in a 3D colour picture can be an ‘eye opener’. I would happily recommend the surgery to anyone.

Lesley MacKinnon

17:29 09 Jun 23

The team are wonderful at Townes. I recently had a lengthy treatment and felt totally comfortable and no pain! And was constantly reassured by Mrs Townes and treated very gently. I was dreading the intervention but was totally put at ease. I would recommend Townes dentists to anyone looking for a dentist in this area.

Lin Kear

15:36 04 May 23

I have been coming to this practice for 19 years. I cannot rate it highly enough. All staff are friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Communication is very good with reminders for appointments texted.Philip Townes is my dentist. He is very knowledgable and keeps up to date with new developments. He can always explain treatment options clearly and work with me to find the best way forward. I have complex dental needs and have a 3 monthly hygienist appointment which I find invaluable for keeping my gums healthy and ultimately keeping my teeth!

Ruth Dorrington

14:30 04 May 23

I moved house and so had to change my dentist. Having always been afraid of the dentist, following many bad experiences with previous practices, Mr Townes made me feel very relaxed and I am pleased to say I am no longer afraid. Also, Sinead is an excellent hygienist who also has restored my confidence when going to the dentist. The receptionist is lovely and always very welcoming. Excellent practice. Thank you 😊

Armi

16:03 20 Apr 23

Townes & Townes are exceptional dentists who genuinely care about their patient's dental health. When I walked into the office, I was greeted by warm, friendly staff who made me feel right at home. They took the time to explain my treatment options and worked with me to create a personalized plan that meets my unique needs.I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch dentist who truly cares about their patients. Their expertise, professionalism, and friendly demeanour make for a truly exceptional dental experience.

Alan KING

Caroline Atkinson

12:08 30 Mar 23

Looking for a new dentist in a new town after a long time since my last dentist visit was daunting. After seeing all the positive reviews I settled on Townes and Townes…. Best decision. So welcoming, so positive and knowledgable. Had a filling redone, first big dental work in many, many years and was really nervous. Didn’t feel a thing and felt completely reassured the whole way through. Real patient first care. Highly recommend.

Sally Lado

16:27 19 Jan 23

I travelled quite a distance to change dentists having had rave reviews about this Practice. Phil and his team have managed to cure me of my phobia of dentists ! I have never been to a more professional and knowledgable practice. I didn’t know the equipment they had even existed, as I had a crown made on site while I waited. I could see all the work being carried out on screen (if I wanted!) and Phil explained everything so clearly as the work was carried out. I seriously wish I could give more than 5 stars !!! Thank you!

Liz Cowan

11:58 21 Dec 22

I have been a patient here for many years now. It is a really good professional practice. The staff are very kind, friendly and caring and fully aware of how anxious someone might be when going to the dentist. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I highly recommend.

This is a lovely homely surgery. Everyone is so nice and helpful. All mod cons which helps the patient to understand what exactly is going on and all procedures are explained in detail. A very caring and empathetic Practice. I am disabled and every effort is made to ensure I can use a downstairs treatment room.

I am very glad that I found Townes and Townes. I knew I needed extensive work on my teeth, but it took me years to find a dentist I can trust when I moved to Gloucestershire.I have had a fair bit of work done on my teeth at Townes and Townes over the years. Dr Phil Towne talks me through the procedures, gives me options, is honest about outcomes, listens to me, gives good advice, and I am truly content with the dental work he has done for me.The dental surgery has a hygienist on the premises, and a good network of dental experts. For instance, I was invery good hands when I did have to go to Towne and Towne's recommended implant specialist In Bristol. All in all, I am very happy with Townes and Townes.

Sharon Williams

21:32 12 Feb 25

Phil extremely thorough on examination, clear explanation as to why certain things were being done but not condescending in any way. Good sense of humour and personable, would make you feel at ease if you were an anxious patient.Chloe hygienist, professional, clear information given to improve oral health, caring in her manner. Thank you both 😁

Nick Macer

20:42 01 Feb 25

Excellent, friendly, efficient service. After leaving my previous dentist in Stroud I was able to get an initial appointment within a few days and, incredibly, another appointment for my badly needed filling the day after that! So, my advice to others would be, go somewhere else and leave these guys to me 😊

Sylvia Humphrey

12:32 01 Feb 25

Phil is easily the best dentist I have ever been to. He takes the time to explain the options for treatment, cost and likely outcomes, and there is no pressure to decide in a hurry. Just had a tooth filled by a very skilled and gentle dentist, hardly felt the needle going in for the local anaestetic. Makes visiting the dentist as enjoyable as it can be - would happily recommend to anyone!

Nothing to mark down, first class throughout. I would highly recommend this dental practice. Phil, Barbara, Jackie and all the team are brilliant. I saw Chloe yesterday (hygienist) very thorough and professional

Phil Townes has been looking after my teeth for many years. I have always appreciated his skill and use of technology with pictures and X-rays to explain what needs to be done and to show the results of his work. Highly recommended.

Helen Price

Both Phil and Barbara Townes are excellent dentists, efficient, professional and considerate, as is Chloe, the hygienist. I would recommend them without hesitation, especially to people with an old fashioned fear of dentists.

Excellent dentist, happy to recommend.

Steve Humphrey

14:35 17 Oct 24

Philip and the whole team at Townes and Townes have looked after my teeth for many years now, I would never consider anyone else to look after my dental health. I recently had a “disaster “ when having a wisdom tooth removed by the NHS, it almost needs such a difficult time to fully appreciate just how caring and professional the team are, their care, compassion and commitment quite simply got me through the aftermath of the NHS. We should not have to pay for high quality dental care but it is really worth every penny.

I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for Townes and Townes, a dental practice that my wife, our three children, and I have been faithfully visiting for many years now.We are continually impressed by their professional approach to dental care. Their team is always readily available, especially during emergencies, providing us with a sense of reassurance that is truly invaluable. This level of commitment and dedication to their patients is something we deeply appreciate and it's one of the many reasons why we wouldn't consider going anywhere else for our dental needs.Over the years, we've had various dental procedures carried out at Townes and Townes. Each time, the experience has been stress-free, thanks to their exceptional service and the expertise of their staff. They have consistently provided us with top-notch dental care, ensuring our comfort and well-being at every step of the process.Barbara and Phillip, in particular, have always been incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their warm personalities, combined with their professional competence, make each visit a pleasant experience. We feel fortunate to have such a high-quality dental practice available locally to cater to our dental needs.In conclusion, we are more than just satisfied with the services provided by Townes and Townes. We are truly grateful for their dedication to providing excellent dental care and for their unwavering commitment to their patients.Paul Chater

New to the area and I was recommended Townes & Townes by someone I met who has lived locally for a long time. Certainly not disappointed. Impressed by the dentist and also the hygienist who I need to visit regularly because of gum disease. She is very supportive, thoughtful and responsive with her treatment.

Jules Jordan

16:56 07 Sep 24

I have a big phobia of dentists , but I can honestly say that Phil is the most patient, understanding and gentle dentist I’ve had . He is definitely a perfectionist and his work is the best quality.

The receptionist, Jackie, is friendly and welcoming. She will sort everything for you with care and efficiency. My dentist, Dr Barbara Townes is an angel in disguise, she gives pain free treatment. She is caring, efficient, explains everything and is super talented. I can’t recommend her high enough. She is simply the best. Lovely surgery, lovely people.

A friendly and welcoming dental practice. I've been with this practice for about 2 years now and have found them to be consistently good.

Great work, I had a crown on a front tooth that you really can't tell the difference to other teeth. I like their care and attention to detail and also care on gum health, other risks.

14:56 17 Jun 24

For a start, Philip Townes is an excellent dentist, taking both care and pride in his service to our teeth.But what I so appreciate is the time he gives each of us, carefully explaining the situation, setting out the choices and most importantly, covering the different costs related to these options, a topic that surprisingly is not often so explicitly mentioned.A shout-out to Sinéad as well, the hygienist, who uses my annual cleaning session as an opportunity to show me the areas I miss and the best techniques to use to get at these. My teeth are in so much better shape having taken on board her "lessons."Such a great team!

Tim Mcneill

09:09 15 Jun 24

I am of the age where I regularly present Dr Barbara Townes with dental challenges! Her skills and expertise are second to none. I am exceptionally impressed by the Optimal Dental team and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and highly professional dental practice.

Judith Pring

17:03 12 Jun 24

I have been going to the 'Townes ' Practise for many years & always feel as if I am going into a warm & friendly place! From the smiling face in reception onwards I feel cared for. Examination & treatment is always thorough & well considered with good explanations. I have never been kept waiting a significant time .This week I attended for my hygienist appointment. As usual she was thorough kind and efficient. I used to go slightly early to look at the magazines! Covid has put a temporary stop to that.

After just having finished treatment with the Townes and Townes dental practice; I am once more thoroughly impressed with its modern equipment and practises; though seeing your own teeth in a 3D colour picture can be an ‘eye opener’. I would happily recommend the surgery to anyone.

Lesley MacKinnon

17:29 09 Jun 23

The team are wonderful at Townes. I recently had a lengthy treatment and felt totally comfortable and no pain! And was constantly reassured by Mrs Townes and treated very gently. I was dreading the intervention but was totally put at ease. I would recommend Townes dentists to anyone looking for a dentist in this area.

Lin Kear

I have been coming to this practice for 19 years. I cannot rate it highly enough. All staff are friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Communication is very good with reminders for appointments texted.Philip Townes is my dentist. He is very knowledgable and keeps up to date with new developments. He can always explain treatment options clearly and work with me to find the best way forward. I have complex dental needs and have a 3 monthly hygienist appointment which I find invaluable for keeping my gums healthy and ultimately keeping my teeth!

Ruth Dorrington

14:30 04 May 23

I moved house and so had to change my dentist. Having always been afraid of the dentist, following many bad experiences with previous practices, Mr Townes made me feel very relaxed and I am pleased to say I am no longer afraid. Also, Sinead is an excellent hygienist who also has restored my confidence when going to the dentist. The receptionist is lovely and always very welcoming. Excellent practice. Thank you 😊

Looking for a new dentist in a new town after a long time since my last dentist visit was daunting. After seeing all the positive reviews I settled on Townes and Townes…. Best decision.

I travelled quite a distance to change dentists having had rave reviews about this Practice. Phil and his team have managed to cure me of my phobia of dentists ! I have never been to a more professional and knowledgable practice. I didn’t know the equipment they had even existed, as I had a crown made on site while I waited. I could see all the work being carried out on screen (if I wanted!) and Phil explained everything so clearly as the work was carried out. I seriously wish I could give more than 5 stars !!! Thank you!

Liz Cowan

11:58 21 Dec 22
