My Values

It’s my belief that the following values are integral to delivering great periodontal care and treatment for my patients. I will:

• Deliver excellence: I am devoted to delivering outstanding treatment for patients, as I understand how life-changing periodontal care can be when it is performed to a high standard. The treatment I deliver is based on sound evidence, and I am continuously researching to harness the best techniques available to me.
• Further to my skillset: I believe that to be a great dentist, you should be continuously looking to develop your skill base. That’s why I’m always partaking in advanced courses to further my proficiency in periodontics.
• Be a great listener: I’ll always listen to your expectations of treatment and questions, so I can help you find solutions.
• Be supportive: I will support nervous patients struggling with dental phobia and will help them develop a better rapport with what it means to visit the dentist. I take great pride in seeing such patients change their perception of the dentist, having found new confidence after treatment.
