Dr Offord founded Vermilion in 2011, inspired to name his clinic after the thin line that borders a person's lips. He enjoys running his own practice and the blend of clinical and business development that every day brings.
Before Vermilion, Dr Offord spent six years working in general dental practices in Scotland, Singapore and Australia.

Thank you for your five star review!
Dr. Offord was really clear about what was going to happen in the procedure. That happened very efficiently (and painlessly). I also appreciated how well-planned-out things were--right down for the container where patients could put their bag while they were in the treatment room.

Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback. We're delighted that you had such a positive experience with us!
