Howard Watkinson

Howard completed his undergraduate training at Newcastle University Dental School and immediately headed for post-graduate qualification in orthodontics. Whilst holding hospital posts in Nottingham and then Leicester he was awarded the Fellowship in Dental Surgery (RCS Edin) and the Diploma in Orthodontics (RSC Eng). Howard set up his own specialist practice in Leicester in 1990, moving to our current premises in 1997.

When he isn’t re-decorating or making major structural changes to our building, Howard likes to take part in triathlons. He spends the rest of his free time driving his 4 teenage children to wherever they need to be.

Sue Straw

Sue qualified in dentistry from Birmingham Dental School in 1976, and for many years ran her own general practice in Leicestershire. A growing interest in orthodontics led her to take a part-time post-graduate orthodontic course at Sheffield University and a clinical assistant post in the orthodontic department at Glenfield Hospital. Sue successfully completed her M.Orth qualification in 1999, and is now committed solely to specialist orthodontic work.

Sue’s free time is spent either with her horses, dipping into a box of watercolour paints, or in the cockpit of an aeroplane.
