Tatiana has been with us since the start of our journey here at The Northside Dentist in 2018. Shannon and Tatiana had previously worked together when they both started dental assisting.

By complete chance, they had found eachother. Tatiana was strolling up High Street, where she spotted Shannon working hard at reception, 5 years after they had worked together. It was meant to be. A few weeks later Tatiana had joined the team!

With plenty of experience in dental assisting, Tat is efficient, fast and seamless in her work. Considered the Mother of our team, her practical thinking and loving nature makes her a perfect asset to our tight knit crew.
