It was a seemingly never-ending process of finding and purchasing the most
appropriate site,
designing a building fit for the purpose of a modern orthodontic practice, and
then actually
funding and building it. But we finally did it, and the new Chesterfield
Orthodontics - Smile by
Design was opened in September 2005 by Paul Holmes MP.
It is wonderful to be here. We now have a very pleasant working
environment, are fully
computerised (and so "paper-free") with the latest and best in digital X-Ray
processing, and
we are able to comply with all of the many requirements for Health and Safety
regulations
and access for the disabled. Patients benefit from a cool glassy interior with
light, airy
waiting rooms and reception area. The treatment rooms are modern and hygienic
and there is air
conditioning throughout these areas.
At the same time we have expanded our staff base and updated our image to
suit the much
higher profile of the practice since it was set up by Phil in 1995 in Hasland.
We are now able to
treat 3 times the number of patients to the same high standard as before. All
of this has been
with the support of our PCT, and we have been pleased to enter into a new
contract with them to
provide the level of service that Derbyshire deserves.
We are confident that our patients will agree.
