Melanie is a member of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and have been giving general anaesthetics and sedations for almost 25 years. Over half of those have been performed at a hospital that is a centre of excellence for dental surgery, so she is very used to working with dental surgeons and providing sedation for a variety of procedures.
Being nervous is very normal, but Mel is here to make you more comfortable, less nervous and ease you through in a calm and friendly manner.
Melanie is really enjoying her job, and it is a pleasure for her to help someone through their visit with minimal anxiety and stress. She quotes: "It’s always nice to see a smile afterwards!"
Friendly and helpful team
I had a very bad experience at another dentists and became so anxious that I didn't go for seven years. When I registered with this practice I explained my situation and have had a really positive experience. The team are really friendly and helpful. Mike and Victoria have been immensely patient, professional and kind. I am really happy with all of the work I have had done and feel that I have been able to make informed decisions about my treatment. I would recommend them highly, especially if you are anxious.
