Hi Stuart,

Thanks for taking the time to reply, you can feel very alone with all this and it really helps to discuss options with someone.

My orignal shortlist did include John Rees along with the two other Johns and Yogi Savania (Swadlincote) and Hesham El-Essaway (Harley St).

I would prefer to see John Rees due to location. I did receive a really friendly & helpful letter from him where he answered many of my questions, but not all. For example, I don't know if he uses a galvanometer to determine the order of amalgam removal (this would be important for me), I'm not sure if he carries out biocompatibility testing and he didn't give me an indication of prices. Do you know the answers to any of the above questions from your experience.

I received an information pack from John Ahearne and it was reassuringly comprehensive. The intial examination & consultation is 90 minutes long and £180. The information I received from John Roberts was really quite brief, I know the initial consultation is £150.

Wishing you well with your Admira fillings and thanks again for your reply.

Nigel.
