Steph Black

Central Treatment Coordinator

I have worked within dentistry for 10+ years where I have gained a lot of knowledge regarding a range of different treatments and have taken great pleasure in assisting patients through their treatment journey. I have a great relationship with the practices I work alongside and love to build great rapport with each patient I deal with to help make their journey as easy as possible. My favourite part of my role is being able to help patients find their new smile and first hand guide them through their very first steps with us. In my spare time I love going on hikes with my dog Winston and trying new restaurants!
