1982 was the year that Bridget and I opened the practice. Initially, we worked part-time, sharing one surgery. As patient numbers grew, we installed a second surgery, and Hugh worked full-time with Bridget three days a week. A third surgery was later added for the hygienist.
We never imagined that we would spend almost our entire careers in the same practice, but it proved to be such a wonderful environment in which to work. Our patients were lovely, and we had the privilege of caring for several generations of local families.
It was always important to us to keep up to date with developments in dentistry, and we attended many postgraduate courses both locally and throughout the country. We invested in new equipment and embraced new ideas to continually improve the care we provided.
During our time here, we carefully selected our staff, many of whom have been with us for years. Together, they became an indispensable and highly valued team.
We are delighted that the ownership of the practice has passed seamlessly to Adrian Bunescu and his team. I am pleased to continue working at Fourways Dental Surgery on a part-time basis and look forward to supporting patients for years to come.
