Meet the team

Born in West London, I grew up in Goring-on-Thames and was educated at Goring Primary School, Langtree School Woodcote and King James’ College Henley.

I consider myself very much to be a local!

I studied dentistry at King’s College and King’s College Hospital, London, graduating in 1984. I then held general practice posts in Didcot, Reading, Henley-on-Thames, Sonning Common and Abingdon before joining Portway Dental Care in 1993.

I became a partner here in 2000 and helped negotiate the integration of the practice into Portman Dental Care in 2018, ensuring that we have the resources to continue offering first class dental care well into the future.

I enjoy all aspects of dentistry; there is a lot of variety in general practice, which can be demanding but is also very rewarding.

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy the outdoor life including (but not limited to) competing in Master’s Athletics, walking (I have been trekking in Nepal four times) and cycling. I also enjoy music, theatre and spending time with my family.

I grew up in Malaysia and came to the UK to read dentistry at Sheffield University, graduating in 2002. In 2004, I gained a Diploma of Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery from Edinburgh. My first roles were at Birmingham and Bristol Hospitals before doing my vocational training in the Isle of Lewis, Scotland.

I have been in general practice since 2005 and spent the majority of this in Oxfordshire. In 2017, I joined the team at Portway.

I pride myself in providing excellent dental care for all my patients. I have a Level 1 Postgraduate Certificate in Contemporary Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry and provide clear aligner therapy. Being part of the Oxident study group keeps me up to date with my skills and knowledge.

Outside of work, I am kept busy with my 2 children. When I am not occupied with the family, I enjoy reading a good book and going for walks.

I grew up in Lincolnshire and studied dentistry in Newcastle upon Tyne.

After graduating in 1999, I spent two further years in the dental hospital there gaining experience in secondary care such as oral surgery and children’s dentistry and prosthodontics as well as general practice.

I also gained postgraduate qualifications MFGDP(UK) in 2001 and a diploma in Prosthodontics at Bristol Open University in 2012.

I enjoy all aspects of dentistry with a particular interest in oral surgery and treating nervous patients.

Outside of dentistry I like to keep fit walking and dancing. I also love painting and learning to play the piano.

I graduated from the University of Manchester, subsequently working in a general practice in South London before moving to Cardiff to undertake further training across a range of specialties. I’ve worked in a Community Dental Practice in the Welsh valleys gaining experience treating patients with anxiety and complex needs and medical conditions requiring special care. Then onto Restorative Dentistry at Cardiff University Dental Hospital where my interest in cosmetic dentistry and prosthodontics developed. Following this, I worked as a Senior House Officer in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University Hospital of Wales, where I managed patients requiring complex surgical treatment. Since then I have enjoyed carrying out general dentistry in practices across Surrey, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.

I passed my exams to join the Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery with the Royal College of Surgeons, England and continue to undertake further postgraduate education to continue developing my skills.
