practice manager

Lesley Turner
My role within Toothbeary is a balancing act of ensuring the practice is a friendly, child orientated environment combined with considering the business aspect of the practice

My previous experience as managing director of a group of children's nurseries based in Surrey has made it possible to understand the needs and concerns of parents as their children grow and develop. As a mother myself I empathise with anxieties that all parents feel.

By means of my business background my career changed direction when I was offered a management position in an Award Winning Dental Practice in Haslemere. After only 2 years in the industry I was thrilled to be nominated for the national BDPMA 3M Practice Manager of the year award 2006, which I was proudly awarded in June 2006.

I have been inspired by both Cheryl and Nicole's vision for children's dentistry in the UK, and am delighted to support Toothbeary in a business capacity.
