    Sarah Griffiths - Receptionist

    Sarah has worked as a dental receptionist at Bedford Place Dentist since 2019. Sarah previously worked for the Department of Work and Pensions for 34 years. This has enabled her to bring a wonderful mix of skills to the practice. We are very fortunate to have her as part of the team. Away from the practice, Sarah lives locally and has lived all her life in Southampton. She also works backstage at the Mayflower Theatre, and she enjoys gardening, shopping, and talking (these are her own words!). She is looking forward to getting to grips with the new computer system!
