​​Sally qualified from UCH London in 1991 gaining both BDS(Lond) and LDS.RCS(Eng).

She worked in Surrey for 4 years in general practice until she and Simon decided to spend a year in Australia, travelling and working under a sponsorship scheme.

That year turned into nearly 9 years away where she and Simon worked for the Flying Doctors’ service, visiting remote areas of Queensland for 3 years and then on to remote areas that found difficulty in recruiting dentists. They included government clinics and general practice from Queensland to Tasmania.

Finally, after a last year’s travelling around Australia, finding as many fish as possible, Sally and Simon returned to the UK.

For 3 years in Hampshire, Sally worked for a corporate dental organisation where she became a clinical director, covering much of the South East. She enjoyed this immensely, however she and Simon wanted to find a more rural area to live and found Chagford (or as some say, Chagford finds you!).

They opened the practice in 2006, in a small premises, just a few doors away from the present location.

Sally is passionate about all aspects of general dentistry and also enjoys her role as clinical supervisor at Plymouth University, teaching 5th year dental students.

“You get to a stage where you suddenly realise that you can impart your experience onto others!”

Sally, first and foremost, loves spending time with their 8 year old son, Monty. She is a keen gardener and has recently found her fishing spirit again!
