Frances qualified from Leeds Dental School in 1985 and has worked in Lincolnshire, County Durham and Yorkshire, as well as overseas. She and her husband have owned The Oaks since 2013, running it as a family practice.

Her passion is to help people overcome their fear and anxiety about dentistry, restore their mouth to good health and aesthetics, and to see them feel able to visit the dentist regularly with confidence. She has used her dental skills as a volunteer in Kenya, and more recently in refugee camps in Greece.

Her interests outside of the practice are running (more Park Runs than half marathons these days!), tennis and more recently, triathlons.

Isabelle qualified from Leeds dental school in 2006 and has enjoyed working in general dental practice in Yorkshire since. She takes time to listen to patient concerns so that together they can work to improve their oral health and confidence in visiting the dentist. She prides herself on providing individually tailored care in an ethical and sympathetic way.

Isabelle enjoys exercise, swimming and socialising with friends and family. You may see her in the local area ferrying her two children to various activities and clubs or frequently (much to their disappointment) accompanying them on walks.

Catherine always knew from a young age that she wanted to work in dentistry; in 2005 she qualified with a Diploma in Dental Hygiene from Kings College, London. She is passionate about periodontology, and finds it really rewarding treating and stabilising gum disease through treatment and education.

Catherine is married with two lovely girls, which along with their two dogs keep her very busy at home. She loves dog walking, holidays, gardening and socialising with friends and family.

Izzy has been qualified as a dental nurse since 2015, she has worked in 2 different practices since then.

She thoroughly enjoys getting to know the patients, and making their visit as calming as possible.

She has two girls aged 5 and 2 who keep her busy when she is not working.

In her spare time she enjoys lots of family time, finding new places to walk and visiting new places.

Adaora qualified as a Dental Hygienist in Nigeria in 2017, and is presently studying for her Dental Nurse qualification here at The Oaks. She is also studying at Bradford University for a masters in leadership in Health and social Care.

Outside of work and studies, Adaora is married with two children. She enjoys culinary exploration, experimenting with new recipes, and embracing an active lifestyle.

She finds joy in jumping rope and attends the gym.

Sue has worked at The Oaks since we opened in January 2012. She brought over 30 years’ experience in customer service. She is a friendly and approachable member of the team and always does her best to make all patients feel at ease, as soon as they walk through the door.

In her spare time, she enjoys, walking, reading, travelling and socialising with her family and friends.

Jason works part time behind the scenes at the Oaks on key jobs like finance, marketing and waste management (i.e. taking out the bins). He has worked in many roles in his career, including running businesses. He spends much of his time working on the development of smallholder farming in Malawi, in between keeping the Oaks on an even keel.

His interests are gardening, rugby league, playing tennis and debating.
