Meet the Donovan's Dental Care 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.

Laurie believes prevention is the key to success in dentistry and works with this in mind every day. She enjoys the rapport she achieves with patients during treatment and the delight they experience when they achieve their goals.

Laurie is married with two children and enjoys sailing and walking.

With over 15 years’ experience, Anne is passionate about delivering high quality dentistry in a friendly and caring environment. Anne has a sensitive and caring manner which enables her to build an excellent rapport with children and nervous patients.

Anne is an experienced Invisalign provider and joined Donovan’s with the aim of expanding the already extensive orthodontic options provided at the practice. She also performs facial rejuvenation procedures using Botox and Fillers.

Anne lives locally with her husband and 2 children. In her spare time she enjoys outdoor pursuits, travelling and spending time with her family.

Dr Harry is passionate about delivering the highest standard of care, which has built him a loyal following over the years. When not at donovans dental practice he works in London. He trained at the World’s leading King’s College London Dental Institute and furthered his education by working and training alongside internationally renowned cosmetic dentists and implantologists. Harry offers both invisalign and implant treatments.

Dr Harry believes in a minimally invasive approach which means providing beautiful results whilst preserving his patient’s natural teeth wherever possible.

I am a dedicated and passionate general dentist with a special interest in orthodontics and a strong focus on creating beautiful, functional smiles. I earned my dental degree from the University of Granada in 2015 and later pursued advanced training through the European Master’s Degree in Orthodontics at the Catholic University of Murcia in 2022. While I am not a registered orthodontic specialist, my additional education and hands-on experience allow me to offer a wide range of orthodontic treatments with confidence and care.

I provide tailored solutions for patients of all ages, including adult and adolescent braces, Invisalign, and lingual braces for those seeking discreet options. I also have a particular interest in pre-restorative orthodontics, helping to prepare the mouth for treatments such as veneers, implants, and composite bonding. For more complex cases, I may use Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) to support precise tooth movement. I’m also passionate about early intervention and offer interceptive orthodontics for children using expanders, mandibular advancement devices, facemasks, and 2x4 appliances. Retention is a key part of my care, with both bonded and removable retainers offered to maintain results.

My approach is always patient-centred, focusing on individualised treatment plans that balance aesthetics with function. I strive to ensure every patient feels informed, comfortable, and confident throughout their orthodontic journey. With a commitment to ongoing learning and a genuine passion for improving smiles, I’m proud to support patients in achieving healthy, confident outcomes.
