BDS, PGDip (Imp Dent). GDC no. 210522. I graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2011 and also completed my Foundation Training in Birmingham. I became the Principal Dentist and Practice Owner in 2016.

My main interests lie within General Dentistry and Dental Implantology; particularly preventative, minimally invasive dentistry and being able to offer my patients Dental Implants. In 2021 I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Dental Implantology.

In 2025, I undertook the Mental Health England First Aid Training course, driven by my deep commitment to mental well-being. This subject is incredibly important to me, and completing the course has strengthened my understanding of how to support others experiencing mental health challenges. It was a valuable opportunity to gain practical skills and further my dedication to creating a more compassionate and supportive environment.
