I’m very fortunate to have Werda as both my life & business partner. With qualifications in accountancy & dental technology, she has consistently worked hard to make valuable contributions since the development of our early practice and was specifically instrumental in the overall success of our practice relocation project, when she managed most and many aspects for the project: premises acquisition, planning, design, sourcing, research, finance, administration & project management. At work Werda manages the financial & general aspects of the practice and at home her main focus is to take care of our two beautiful daughters, our 3 cats and me - not necessarily in that order!

Dear Andre’ & Suzanne ‘Abscess makes the heart grow fonder’ I am writing to thank your practice for the fantastic dental treatment I have received over the past year. My implant was fitted a few months ago, just over a year from when I came into the surgery initially with a very painful abscess, and I am delighted with the result. It’s so good to be eating and smiling properly again! Firstly, special thanks to Andre’ Hattingh whose skills and expertise with regards to my implant were second to none and also to Susanne whose reassurance and aftercare service were excellent. Secondly, I would like to offer huge thanks to David Bevan and Trish for the excellent care and treatment regarding both the fitting and completion of my implant and also for the root canal work carried out earlier in the year. Thirdly, I would like to thank Mr. Campbell for coming to my rescue with an emergency appointment last Christmas Eve when he temporarily relieved my highly sensitive tooth pain so that I could enjoy my Christmas. This was permanently alleviated by the root canal work just mentioned. Lastly and by no means least, I would like to thank all reception staff I have come into contact with this year who have, without exception, been very professional, helpful and cheerful. As you have probably gathered, I have had quite a year of it dental wise and as much as my heart has grown fonder of you all at Eustace and Partners, I truly hope that I don’t see quite as much of you next year! Seasons Greetings!
