Dr. Edward (Ted) Laver
First and foremost I believe that all patients should be cared for as we would care for our own family or simply how we would wish to be treated. This not only reflects on the quality of dental service per se but how we as individuals are seen, heard and cared for. We will never judge so no need for embarrassment and always will attempt to provide clear options for the patient to choose the most suitable treatment for themselves.
