About Me
- GDC Number:
- 252806
I have a keen interest in Preventative dentistry, Restorative Dentistry, and Endodontics; and have taken the opportunity throughout my studies, to enrol in courses that have allowed me to gain further insight into each of these fields.
Patient care is a high priority, and as a dentist, I always ask myself ‘What can I do for my patients?’ With that in mind I attend various workshops, seminars, lectures and hands on training sessions provided by local deaneries to continuously improve my knowledge, skills and most importantly quality of patient care.
