Over the years, I have got to know my patients and their family and friends. They have shared their personal stories, celebrations, important events, both happy and sad, and I feel privileged that they have included me in their circle of trust. The best compliment I get is the look of joy and amazement when a patient looks at themselves in a mirror for the first time after having had a smile makeover. Often it’s an emotional journey for the patient and it makes my day when I know I’ve made a difference to their life and how they feel about themselves. Many a time we’ve shed an emotional tear together at the end of their journey with us! ever achieved without enthusiasm’.

Outside the boutique, I love adventure travel and have travelled extensively. Recently, I narrowly escaped a helicopter rescue when I found myself stranded on top of a mountain, trekking in Turkey.

My other passions are photography, Egyptian and Bollywood dance and long country walks (on the proviso, that there’s a pub at the end of it!).
