At Apple Tree we believe that the key to success is highly skilled people working in a friendly environment with the latest and best equipment.
All our staff are highly trained and they keep up with technical developments with a continuous-training programme. Dentistry is developing all the time, and even our most senior people know they need to keep learning.ANESKA PETERSB.Ch.D
Principal DentistAneska graduated in South Africa. She has worked in both private and NHS dentistry in the United Kingdom over the last eight years. She has a particular interest in preventive dentistry with emphasis on minimal intervention. She has carried out post-graduate studies at the Eastman Dental Hospital in London and has volunteered much of her spare time in helping to improve oral health in third-world countries. Aneska is a bit of an adrenaline junkie: she loves paragliding, flying in acrobatic aeroplanes and diving shipwrecks with sharks and whales. She likes trekking along the road less-travelled: backpacking and visiting remote places around the world. She enjoys painting and would love to be a travel photographer, but unfortunately has to admit that she doesn’t take great photographs.
