Why We're Great >
Erika Koundouros BDS MSc
Hugh Ponsford BDS
Hugh qualified from Guy's King's and St. Thomas's Medical and Dental School (KCL) in 2002.
​
Hugh started working in Romford, Essex, before moving back to Hertfordshire, and working in Hemel Hempstead. Since 2006 Hugh has worked in Haprenden, mostly with Bob in Southdown. He enjoys looking after families, and the relationships he has built with his patients, so finds general dentistry ideally suited to him. He is an elected member of the Hertfordshire Local Dental Committee, and member of the British Dental Association.
​
When not at work, Hugh tries to spend as much time as he can skiing and mountain biking.
