Shona
Hygienist

Shona Ferguson

Shona arrived from Scotland in 2005, and has worked with David in this country for most of that time.

With her unparalleled energy and enthusiasm, not to mention her 15 plus years experience as a hygienist, she is a truly exceptional addition to the practice.

Few of those that know her are willing to see anyone else for their gum care and she has quickly earned a well deserved reputation as one of the best in her profession.
