Fergus Gill BDS, GDC 73428
After leaving Liverpool in 1998 I worked as an associate in general practice in Tunbridge. Then after meeting my future wife on holiday, we moved to New Zealand where we lived and worked on both north and south islands for two years.
On returning to England in 2004 Fergus took an associate job at Glover and Harrison practice and in time, along with Adam, worked a partnership and bought the practice forming Truro Dental Health, and as they say, the rest is history.
