Looking after our community and providing excellent care

Garson Dental Clinic Undergoing Essential Maintenance

Garson Dental Clinic in Stromness is due to undergo essential maintenance from Monday 24th October – Monday 19th December and will remain closed throughout this period.

If you have an appointment booked at the Garson Dental Clinic between these dates, the reception team will be in contact with you shortly. Wherever possible, and as patients wish, we will honour the same appointment date and time, but at the Balfour Dental Clinic in Kirkwall.

Throughout this time, you can still access our dental services either by phoning Garson Dental Clinic on 01856 850658 or by phoning the Balfour Dental Department on 01856 888258. If you phone the clinic, it will automatically be transferred through to the Balfour Dental Department where someone will be able to assist you.

Jay Wragg, Director of Dentistry at NHS Orkney said “We understand travelling to Kirkwall instead of Stromness will lead to additional planning for patients, but we are keen to make it as practical as possible. We would urge if you have appointments during this time to please ensure you attend your appointment and undergo any treatment required. We appreciate your co-operation with this and will update you all on the progress.”

We will be reminding the community on Monday 24th of this temporary closure and will provide an update on how the maintenance is progressing as well as a reminder when the clinic is re-opening.
