  • Soar Valley Dental Practice

    I have been a patient of Soar Valley Dental Practice for sixteen years.

    As most definitely not a twice yearly check up patient but as " a complex had to have it all patient " I feel qualified in recommending the practice for their professionalism and expertise...

    I have been a patient at Soar Valley Dental Practice for over twenty years. During that time I have always found the dentists, dental hygienists and support staff to be friendly and helpful, with a good sense of humour and above all a very professional approach to their work.

    Just a short note to say how pleased I was with the four crowns you fitted last week, I was delighted with the result and very glad I took your advice. I was surprised how quickly and comfortably the time passed – definitely a good result for us both. Kind regards.

    I have had exceptional treatment from all the staff here. I came as a new patient and have been treated well by all concerned. I would recommend the practice to anyone.

    Ash is the most gentle, polite and professional dentist I have ever visited in over 40 years. The background music and bird song is very relaxing. Well done everyone!

    I have been coming to this dental surgery for the past twenty years. I have been very impressed with the care given by the dentists. Ash has always been very considerate and easy to talk to about problems I have had with my teeth.

Ash has worked at Soar Valley Dental Practice since he joined as a vocational trainee back in 2001.

Ash is from Leicester where he was born and bred.  After studying in Leicester he moved to study Dentistry at University of Leeds.  He came back to Leicestershire after qualifying in Dentistry and carried out his Vocational Training at Soar Valley Dental Practice in 2001.  After being an associate for 6 years he took over the business in 2008.

Ash’s calm nature means that his success with anxious patients is vast, gaining trust and respect whilst always giving the best possible treatment and service.  Ash has been praised by his patients not only for transforming their smiles, but in particular, for his relaxed and informal approach, which will immediately put you at ease.

Ash’s spare time is now taken up raising his twin boys with his wife! when time allows his interests lie in all sports especially Formula 1, Football, Cricket, Rugby and Tennis.  He is also an avid Leicester City supporter.  He has a hidden talent of knowing the most useless facts known to man and is a great asset to any pub quiz team.

Currently his passion is the challenge of owning and running Soar Valley Dental Practice and making it the practice that all patients want to visit. He is very proud of his team for the way they have taken on the challenges that the last year has presented us!
