I am a native Dub and have been practicing in Dublin since I first qualified in 2007. After working in general practice for 5 years and feeling there was a gap in the market for a new approach to modern dentistry, I approached my best friend Gregg about an idea I had to open a private general dental clinic in the heart of Dublin’s thriving Docklands area. On January 13th 2013, Docklands Dental was born and it has always been our aim to excel in patient-centered care with cutting edge technology at its core.
I graduated from UCC in 2007. Although I was not too delighted with going to Cork for college I am always mindful that it is where I received my degree, met my wife Marie and business partner Gregg.
Upon graduation I started studying with the much revered Dr. Paul Tipton to enhance my dental skill set over 2 years. In deciding to setup a private dental clinic I returned to education in Trinity college for a diploma in conscious sedation to allow me to treat nervous and anxious patients in a modern dental setting.
Over the years since the clinic has been established I have always tried to enhance my patients’ experience with the latest technology in a comfortable setting. I have become a key opinion leader (KOL) for Dentsply Sirona as well as an accredited trainer from the association of digital dental academies and spend the vast majority of my time in practice using digital technology to improve my patients clinical outcomes.
Outside clinical work, I spend the rest of my time with my wife and two children, play as much golf as I can (#obsessed) and enjoy training in the gym early in the morning during the week to kick start my day.
