Practice Information
This practice has seen many changes since it's foundation in the mid 20th Century. In July 1992 Dr. Steve Davies purchased the practice outright, following a 10-year partnership with Dr John Alexander (both having qualified in Cardiff in 1975).
Before his arrival Dr. Davies had spent some time in the hospital service, prior to a 5-year commission in the Royal Navy. Two years as an associate preceded his move to Llandaff North. He has general interest in new dental techniques, and has particular interest in occlusal studies (The effects of the bite on head/neck/joint pain).
Steve remains a keen tennis & squash addict, but time is starting to take its toll!
Dr. Neal Benford joined our practice in June 1997, having qualified in Cardiff in 1995. Neal had two years of practice experience in an NHS/PRIVATE practice in Swansea. He joined our practice part time in June 1997, but quickly became full time. Neal was formally a keen rugby player, but those days were cut short due to a knee injury.
Dr. Angie Lane qualified in July 1996. Angie worked in the dental hospital for six months on the Children's Health Department, and then firstly joined our practice in January 1997 as a vocational trainee, becoming an associate in February 1998. Angie is a keen Rugby fan , and enjoys weight training and tennis. Both Angie & Neal will be with us for the foreseeable future.
