Doctor/Dentist recommendations in Stranmillis

Hi,
I've moved to Stranmillis (close to Stranmillis College) and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for Doctors/Dentists to register with in the area. I would prefer a NHS dentist but preferred to go private if cost isn't too high. I haven't noticed any GP surgerys in Stranmillis itself.
Thanks

    Stranmillis Dental Surgery
    33 Chlorine Gardens
    Belfast
    BT9 5DL

    If this is the same one I went to years ago and if it's still there it's on the corner of Chlorine Gardens and Stranmillis Rd. From outside it's very unassuming so easily missed. It's red brick on the ground floor and what looks like cladding on the 1st floor with a single glass door entrance on Stranmillis Rd. Not sure if it's NHS but worth asking.

    Just looked at a map and that dentist is the other end of the road from you so if you're not familiar, when heading into town on the S'millis Rd, there's a tall white & glass building on the left hand side. It's called the Ashby building and it's part of Queens if that rings a bell. The dentist is on the same side of the road just at the junction for Chlorine Gdns and the Ashby building is at the far side of the Chlorine Gdns junction.

    I go to Maria McElholm dental surgery on the Malone Road, just at the corner of Sans Souci. There are several dentists in the practice and all very good. I'm in and out in 10 mins normally.

    Maybe I'm wrong but I think this is for QUB students only.

    No I think this changed a few years ago. It was a good practice when I was a student :) and pretty convenient from Stranmillis

    Thanks for the info, I thought the University Health Centre was student only too.

    Just checked and it says on main page that it's both general NHS and student
