Meet the team

Michael qualified from University College Hospital London, Dental Hospital in 1985, and spent seven years working as an associate before buying the practice in Petworth in 1992. He began studying orthodontics in 1991 and, since then, he has continued to develop this aspect of his practice. Michael believes orthodontic treatment should be carried out without extractions, wherever possible, to maintain the correct shape and size of the jaw, and to improve the final facial profile. He also works closely with osteopaths and chiropractors in this regard.

In 1997, Michael gained his Diploma in General Dental Practice from the Royal College of Surgeons in London, being one of the first in the country to attain this qualification. In 2006, he moved the practice from Market Square to its current modern premises, located on the corner of Middle Street.

He has a special interest in orthodontics and restorative dentistry, and continues to broaden and update his knowledge by committing to further postgraduate training.

He is married to our Practice Manager, Jayne Donovan, and they have two children. When not hard at work, Michael enjoys playing and watching rugby, golf, cycling and skiing.

After qualifying from Bristol University Dental School in 1985, Laurie gained surgical experience while working for four years as a Senior House Officer in Maxillofacial Surgery units of general hospitals. She moved into general dental practice in 1990 and joined Donovan’s in 2002.

Laurie completed a foundation course at the Royal Homeopathic Hospital in London in 1997, and regularly attends dental courses in a full range of subjects to keep her skills fresh.
