Balsall Common Dental Pratice

GDC registration number: 70884 I qualified as a dentist in 1995 and can honestly say that I have been doing a job that I love for the past 19 years. Most people who know me well know that dentistry is a passion for me and that if I won the lottery I would still want to have some dentistry in my life. I get huge satisfaction from treating patients and making a difference to their smile, their health and their confidence. I live at home with my wife Cathy, two boys, two dogs, two cats and my other great love…..20 odd chickens. My boys keep the chickens which they run as a small business selling eggs but nothing cheers me up in the morning like seeing those feathery chickens run towards the fence to greet you. It never fails to make me laugh. (My wife and children say they know where they come in the pecking order by the way)! When I’m not in the surgery I like to be in the garden with my chainsaw or cheering my boys on, on the rugby pitch.

GDC registration number: 70668 Cath joined the practice in 2002. She and Ashley met on their postgraduate Vocational Training course in Birmingham when they ended up working at the same practice in West Bromwich. When Ashley was looking for an associate at Balsall Common Dental Practice, Cath came to take the role and she has been here ever since. During that time she has had 3 boys and so consequently a lot of her free time has been taken up looking after her boys and their many sporting interests. Cath loves providing her patients with high quality dental care delivered in a sensitive and caring manner. She gets great satisfaction from giving patients smile makeovers and watching their confidence grow as a result.

GDC registration number: 6630. Colette has always had itchy feet…that’s not something she needs to see the doctor about but a statement about her love of discovering far flung places. Colette isn’t travelling as far and wide at the moment as she is a busy mum to two boys. Colette loves to provide patients with a bright, clean smile and empowering them with knowledge of how best to look after their gum health.
