Midland Orthodontics

Chris | November 24, 2008
Since you're new to the CoachBarrow.com site, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I’m going to use this post to praise one of the best dental teams I have met in 12 years – and thank them for their hospitality and open minds.

Click here to see their web site.

A bright, happy team of individuals and we didn’t stop laughing during my visit – even though we were discussing serious business.

I genuinely believe I could parachute this team into any British dental practice and they would ignite it.

Congratulations and “respect” to Chris and Stephanie Shore, the principals.

    What a great looking venue. Congrats on what looks like a lot of hard work. PVT or NHS ???

    It is great to see a good dental team. Praise from an outsider is valuable as it tends to be unbiased viewpoint and a good steer that the practice is one to be recommended.
