Practice profile
allowing Hazel to put her own stamp on the practice. She said: “I’m committed to
the NHS but I wanted to offer health service dentistry in an environment that feels more like a private clinic and I think we’ve managed to do that.” Henry Schein provided
the chairs, handpieces and most of the equipment in the practice, with Hazel praising their all-round service. She said: “I didn’t realise
quite how many things I would have to deal with, so to be able to use a trusted supplier like Henry Schein really took the stress out of that side of things.” Throughout all the stresses
and strains of the building work, practice inspections and the other million and one things she had to think about, Hazel always had a couple of supportive arms around her shoulders. She said: “I honestly couldn’t have done this without my
husband and my mum. They have both been fantastic and a great source of support and advice throughout. “Any time I had a wobble
they would pick me up and get me motivated again, so I’m not sure what I would have done without them.” And, as she embarks on the
biggest challenge of her career, it is Hazel’s passion for her patients that shines through. She said: “For me, patients
are not a commodity. I genu- inely care about the people I have got to know over the last ı0 years and I’m really looking forward to the future. “I’m not interested in
building my own empire. I want to provide a personal touch and, for me, the best way to do that is to have one practice and put everything into it. “I spent my formative years
at this practice and I would be quite happy to spend the rest of my career here.”
