Haytham Abbas GDC No. 101012

After qualifying in 2005, Haytham started off his career in a competitive hospital training program which led him to focus on his interest in Oral Surgery. He spent the next 5 years gaining experience in a wide range of surgical procedures with the support of some of the finest consultants in Maxillofacial surgery.

Alongside his clinical commitments, Haytham enrolled onto the Warwick University Dental Implantology Diploma.
