“Dentistry is my passion – this is evident from when you first meet me and right throughout my work. My drive comes from being able to provide good quality dentistry to my loyal patient base while delivering high results which can be life changing. Being a dental phobic myself I have a unique understanding for nervous patients.

My promise to patients is the idea of accessibility accessible ensuring patients can have contact prior and AFTER treatment giving patients that extra reassurance should they need help short or long term. I will always go that extra mile to ensure my patients are comfortable, fully informed of their treatment and have the ability to have some control.

Outside of dentistry I am a keen sports fan, enjoying boxing, golf and football to name . I thoroughly enjoy the transition from my high energy hobbies to the delicate art of delivery of dentistry!”
