"I am pleased to be joining the practice after spending several years working in the South Island of New Zealand. Herefordshire has always had a special attraction to me since I first visited the area over 30 years ago and so I was delighted to get this wonderful opportunity to come to ST Martins and take on this exciting role of caring for your all dental needs.

I am originally from Cheshire and have had my own practices in Sheffield and Jersey. I enjoy most aspects of dentistry and look forward to being able to help all my  patients have  a healthy mouth and a smile that they can be proud  of !

I am looking forward to strolling the beautiful Herefordshire countryside with my two Bernese Mountain Dogs who are from New Zealand,so please make them welcome if you meet them in the outdoors or down at the local hostelry! I am also a keen golfer, music lover  and enjoy cooking for friends and family."
