Team Dental Whangarei

I have worked in the dental industry for all of my working life.

I originally trained as a school dental nurse. I have worked in this practice for a number of years, becoming Practice Manager for Team Dental Whangarei in 2006. Away from work I really love spending time with my family, I am an avid reader and enjoy gardening.

Hi I am Neil, I have been working as a Dentist since 1983. I have a passion for providing high quality dental services and assisting people by providing healthy teeth for life.

With over 30 years of experience in the dental industry, I have attended many post graduate courses including Laser Dentistry, Cerec 3D, Endodontics, and preventative dentistry with a strong focus on minimal intervention.

When I'm not working, I like to spend time with my wife and two children and love fishing, surfing, diving and skiing.

I am one of the newest members of the team and am really enjoying all the new skills I am learning relating to the wide range of information about the services we provide.

My role includes telephone enquiries, making appointments and carrying out a variety of different administrative duties.
