Putting patients first and giving everyone a reason to smile.
My wife, dentist Emma Skipper and I had been working in a dental practice for several years when we finally made the decision to move on and go it alone. Our dream was to create our own high-end, modern dental practice near Scarborough.
Finding a building large enough for the six-surgery practice we wanted to build was a challenge, but eventually we found a period detached cottage in the village of Newby. It was a good-sized residential three- to four- bed property with a separate one-bedroom flat above the garage and old stables. Obtaining planning permission to convert the property into a dental practice was not straightforward and took 12 months to complete but once we gained approval we were able to complete on the property and start work straight away.
