She has been at the dental practice for 13 years and admitted: “For someone to have nominated me, I am blown away. It really had made my day.”
Toni is the first point of contact for the public and for the staff. Her role, she said, was to oversee patients from new arrivals to those who are regulars.
“I make sure that their journey is smooth. Any questions or concerns, they come and see me and I look after them.
