Meet the Renfrew Dental Studio Team

Avani Sethi
Dentist
GDC No.  209855

• Bachelor Dental Surgery Glasgow 2011

Unlike Maple syrup and Ice hockey, this Canadian is not bad for your teeth...quite the opposite. As well as looking after your teeth, a visit to Avani is also a helpful reminder of what time of year it is, due to the ever changing surgery decoration and patterned scrub tops. Christmas, Halloween, Valentines day....she’s got it covered.

Sabbah Rai
Dentist
GDC No. 262358

• MSc Dentistry Oslo 2012
• BA (Hons) Business Administration

Although Sabbah already speaks an impressive five languages, for the last few years she’s also been adding Scottish patter to her repertoire. With her friendly smile and manner she’s put even the most nervous of patients at ease. She has also been responsible for 97% of spontaneous outbursts of 90s one-hit-wonder Shabba Ranks amongst the rest of the renfrew dental studio team members.

Greg Paterson
Dentist
GDC No. 106093

• BDS University of Glasgow 2006

We've known Greg as a dentist for over 15 years, but  he was also the guitarist in a proper band, the Errors. We say proper, as in they had record deals, albums, world tours and everything! Theses days he's living out the aging rock star cliché of dentistry and making authentic Neapolitan pizzas....

Andrena McFarlane
Practices Director
GDC No. 156255

National Certificate NEBDN 2004
Manchester Dental Hospital D.S.A 2003 Nobel biocare implantology
 

Not only does Andrena look after the overall running and business of Renfrew Dental Studio, she also does the same for out sister practice, Mount Florida Dental. But that’s just during the day. Amazingly in the evenings she also manages to find time to do be a boot-scootin', foot kickin', finger clickin' line dance instructor as well. 5-6-7-8.... (she hates when we mention Steps).

Robbie Martin BDS
Principal Dentist
GDC no. 83166

• Bachelor Dental Surgery  with Commendation. Glasgow 2004
• Merit in Paediatric Dentistry

When not fixing teeth Robbie can often be found on a mountain indulging in two of  his other passions. Most of year this involves cycling up and down them, but when there is even the slightest covering of snow, he loves nothing more than strapping a plank of wood to his feet and snowboarding down them. Ask him about either of those subjects and you can expect to be bored into a state of complete relaxation, so don't say we didn't warn you! On the plus side, he has promised not to wear any Lycra in the practice. Robbie now mainly works in our practice in Mount Florida.

Taco Jansz BDS BSc (hons)
Principal Dentist
GDC no. 85432

• Bachelor Dental Surgery  with Commendation. Glasgow 2005
• Merits in Biomolecular Science and Anatomy
• 1st class Honours Biomedical Sciences Cardiff 2000
• Nana Reid Donnague Restorative Prize
• Glasgow Odontological Society VT Prize

Taco was originally born in Holland, but not being tall, blond or very good at football it was quite apt that he moved to Scotland, where he has now lived most of his life. When not working he can usually be found in dusty second hand record shops, at obscure music gigs or at home listening to said music on vinyl (of course), although his wife questions the actual term “music” for some of them. Taco now mainly works in our practice in Mount Florida.
