We visited Denbies Vineyard for our practice Christmas lunch today to celebrate a very successful year. Julie and Wai-Wai passed their Dental Nursing qualifications, Shernaz passed her Implant examinations and we recruited three excellent, new team members; Janet our hygienist, Odetta our customer relations receptionist and Ashley, our financial manager.
We dined in the Gallery Restaurant at the top of the Denbies viewing tower with beautiful views over Box Hill, Ranmore and the Mole Valley. As you can see in the photos we were joined by Richard & Alison Hooker. Richard retired from general dentistry in 2003 after 40 years at Longborough. He now devotes much of his time to his other passions in life St George's Church in Ashtead and his eight grandchildren. Richard has many fond memories of his time at Longborough, his patients, nurses and his partner of many years Brian Calvert. Many of his first patients, back in 1965, still attend Longborough regularly and we are honoured that many of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren remain patients of the practice, too.
