A fond farewell from Richard Hurrell

After 40 years of providing dentistry and 33 wonderful years of working at Heatherstone Dental Practice, I intend to retire from the practice.

It goes without saying that I will miss all the patients that have made my work so enjoyable over the last 33 years and I would like to thank them for trusting me with their dental care over so many years; I have considered it to be a great privilege.

I must admit though, I'm looking forward to having more time to enjoy my hobbies of mountaineering and cycling with friends and family. I intend to continue encouraging young people to explore the outdoors by supervising and assessing Duke of Edinburgh Expeditions and assisting with mountain trips for scouts and scout leaders using my summer and winter mountain leader qualifications.

Even whilst I'm planning my retirement, your ongoing care is my first priority and in recent months we have been engaged in an exhaustive recruitment process that will ensure your ongoing care will be provided to the highest standard.

We are delighted to say that Mr. Max Waller will be joining Heatherstone dental Practice as I step down. Max is a very experienced dentist and shares my philosophy of patient focused, preventative care and I'm confident he will be a part of our continuing commitment to excellence at Heatherstone Dental Practice.

You'll be pleased to know the rest of our dedicated team are continuing, so you'll still see the same familiar faces at your next appointment. If you have any questions for our team, please call us on 01794 513100.

All that's left for me to say is goodbye and thank you for so many happy memories.
