Our team
Dentist
Dr Emer Walshe

She subsequently worked as a house officer in the DDUH for one year. Following this, she spent almost two years working as a senior house officer in oral and maxillofacial surgery in Guildford, Surrey in the UK.

Hygienist
Catherine Doherty
Catherine began her career in dentistry as a dental nurse, qualifying from Trinity College Dublin in 2015. She subsequently worked in a dental practice in Galway for two years.
