Robert gained the Diploma in Postgraduate Dental Studies in 2001 and a primary homeopathic licence (dental) in 2003.

His move to Green Park Dental practice came in 2002 when Robert joined as a partner. Robert's professional interests include Teeth Whitening (In-surgery and home treatments) Cosmetic dentistry and Periodontology. He is a keen advocate of MI (Minimal Intervention) dentistry and believes in a holistic approach to dental care. He uses homeopathic remedies to complement his dental treatment and finds these particularly useful for anxious or nervous patients.

He is also a keen cyclist and likes to take part in sportive events.
