I visited Cherrybank Dental Spa a few times to see Dentist Umair and Lauren. Staff were very friendly and professional and treatment was top class. It was my first time going to a dentist so I was a bit anxious at the start. I am very happy with my treatment. Thank you Cherrybank team.
Umair and his wife Julia have one daughter, Nina, who keeps them very busy and every day, she brings endless amounts of love, energy, and joy to their lives. They all enjoy spending quality time together which mostly involves socialising and spending time with friends and family, swimming, playing sports, eating out and making sure every day is as fun as it can be.
They enjoy travelling together and love going on family holidays exploring different countries of the world.
Personally, Umair plays cricket and represented Scotland in 2016, gaining 2 international caps. He also represented Scotland under 19 at the Under 19 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka in 2016. Currently, he plays at Carlton Cricket Club and is captain of the T20 side and is a member of the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club) based at Lord’s cricket ground, London. He also enjoys attending the gym, cycling, and playing golf. Away from sports he enjoys socialising with his friends and family.
I had 2 appointments with Umair at Cherrybank to get my front teeth fixed as old composite was stained and broken and my regular dentist isn’t doing aerosol procedures at the moment. Initially I was apprehensive about visiting a new dentist but Umair was very patient ensuring he got the shade, shape and spacing right to make my smile like new again. He was happy to fix and adapt the spacing as we went along if I wasn’t sure of the aesthetics. The finish on my teeth is flawless. I am really happy with the care I’ve received at Cherrybank, the staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Thank you!
