Guest Info - Karl Walker-Finch
I love being a dentist, so much so that I'm writing a book about being a happy dentist which I hope will inspire other young (and old) dentists with a passion for helping patients and fixing teeth. This profession gives me the opportunity to connect with people and help them every day in a friendly environment with the support of a brilliant team at Lindley Dental.
