I strongly advise AGAINST seeing Dr. Patrick Williams. I initially trusted him based on a past experience from childhood, but returning as an adult turned out to be a terrible mistake. He practices in a number of clinics in London and i think its public interest to know about his character and lack of professionalism.
From the start, he was rough and used excessive force during treatments, which left me with mild regret. One day, he spoke to me so rudely in his clinic that I was stunned, even needing to ask if he was truly addressing me—shockingly, he was. Two staff members who were present exchanged glances with me, aware of my disbelief. I felt uncertain about returning, but having already spent £980, I hoped to see it through with as little disruption as possible. I later sent Dr. Williams a letter, politely expressing my disappointment and asking for respectful communication moving forward.
To my disbelief, Dr. Williams completely denied his behaviour, and worse, the two “nurses/assistant” present, colluded with him; likely to keep their positions in his practice. This was deeply unprofessional and dishonest, raising serious concerns about what else this organisation might conceal or misrepresent.
My formal complaint, made on July 3rd, has been ignored for well over 4 months. The manager, Michelle (Of Dulwich Orthodontic Centre), has evaded every attempt at accountability, refusing to provide names of staff present and a refusal to disclose General Dental Council (GDC) registration numbers, even advising me to “Google Dr. Williams’ GDC number” rather than simply responding with an answer to the question. This refusal to cooperate violates the Freedom of Information Act, and it’s clear they have no interest in addressing serious issues and concerns raised. They’ve taken £980 of my money, and any semblance of engagement has vanished.
Dr Patrick Williams shows a shocking lack of ethics, integrity, and professionalism. He is now under investigation by the General Dental Council and wider agencies. I urge you: DO NOT waste your money or trust on this deceitful dentist.
