Dr. Neil is experienced in providing oral surgery and in dealing with anxious patients, including gentle and empathetic treatment with optional oral and IV sedation available if required, having successfully helped many patients receive treatment when they would have otherwise struggled with anxiety, gagging or simply for enhanced patient comfort during longer procedures such as implant treatments, since Dr. Neil developed sedation skills while working as a senior house officer in Taunton Hospital and has completed the Diploma in Conscious Sedation course at Guy’s Hospital/King’s College, London.

He was the only U.K. based dentist to be selected to make a presentation at the 2010 World Congress of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) in Hamburg, Germany where he was also awarded his Fellowship of the organisation and he has taught implant surgery internationally, including most recently lecturing at the International Dental Congress in Lahore, Pakistan and providing clinical training in implant surgery at De’Montmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore.
In his spare time, Dr. Neil enjoys keeping fit, adventurous travel and loves to combine these hobbies with SCUBA diving in warm waters!
