Personal information

Outside of dental life, Kelly loves travelling and enjoying delicious food in Glasgow with friends and family. To help work off all the food and wine enjoyed, she likes to go walking with a coffee.

She recently got married to her husband Francesco on April 29th 2023.

“Absolutely thrilled with my teeth, after years of bad experiences and having anxiety with other dental practices, I have now found a great dentist in Jane. I have had two major procedures in the last two weeks that were made pain free and after having had a super veneer fitted it has changed my smile. Jane is a talented and modern dentist, I would never go anywhere else and recommend to everyone I know. Easy to get to and plenty of car parking space. All staff are lovely and welcoming. Anybody with anxieties when it comes to dental work needs to get to the Tooth Doctor as they are they are so understanding and sympathetic to their patients.”

Highly skilled staff, excellent range of services and high quality care. Gerry made me a bespoke splint to help with my night-time grinding. This has been absolutely brilliant - fits really well and has totally solved my grinding and I have no more jaw ache and headaches. Thank you guys!!

What a team of total professionals. Cannot praise The Tooth Doctor highly enough especially Sofia and Kirsty. The whole process has been seamless from start to finish. Everyone on receptionn can not help you enough and will always do their best to accommodate an appointment. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Tooth Doctor for dental treatment of the highest level.

Had an excellent experience with the staff members of this dentist. Sofia and Helenor were just outstanding they let me know about everything that was happening as I had a root canal treatment which I was very nervous to have but I felt much more comfortable with it whilst I was getting it done hands down the best dentist around thank you all.

I’m a really nervous patient, and I’ve had previous difficult experiences, but after meeting Sofia she helped reassure me about what my options were and especially about relaxation and analgesia.this helped reduce my anxiety. When I came in for my first treatment today with Sofia & Karla, I ended up falling asleep in the chair ☺️ which kind of speaks for itself. Highly recommended

As a new patient here, I would like to thank Sofia and Kirsten for making me feel so at ease here, because I was very nervous due to having had a bad experience before at a previous dentist which made me lose trust in other dentists. Thankfully my husband found this one on line and I’m glad he did. From the first time of meeting them both I could tell it was going to be so different and it was. They talk you through the process first then make sure that your treatment is pain free and to me that was my biggest concern, I need not have worried because they were true to their word and I thank them both so much again. I would highly recommend them

I had a crisis on the Thursday and I was going on holiday on the Sunday I needed help. Gerry was absolutely amazing he came up with a solution on the spot and it’s allowed to put the stresses behind me and look forward to my holiday. I cannot praise Gerry enough the man is a genius.

My treatment with Gerry and Aimee was first class, he explained the full procedure from start to finish. My treatment was done to a very high standard making sure I was fully satisfied at each stage.I am delighted with my new smileAnna

Wow, I have been an anxious patient for 45 years and could only have treatment with sedation. However Gerry talked me through a procedure for an extraction today without sedation and put me at ease with the option to try this. I could also stop the treatment at any point. He was patient and ensured I felt as relaxed as possible. After further discussion, I had gel placed on the area prior to 2 injections and then the tooth extracted. No pain at all, and so delighted to have had this done without sedation after so many years. Other than this, I have been a patient of the Tooth Doctor since 2008 and can not fault anything, the care and treatment etc has always been 5 star from all in the Tooth Doctor's surgery, and this is why I have continued to be a patient at this practice since I moved to Stirling in 2012. Thank you again to Gerry for today, this was a milestone for me to have treatment without sedation.

Great experience at the clinic, Sofia and Kirstie always go that extra mile to ensure I am at ease and comfortable throughout the appointment. My daughter recently attended and was extremely nervous, the girls were great and made it a positive and painless experience for her. Would highly recommend!

I have been a patient at The Tooth Doctor for longer than I care to remember (admit!), and I have never had anything but first class treatment there.My last visit was no exception. I was seen at very short notice. My problem was identified immediately. I was treated Immediately. It was pain free.I have nothing but the highest of praise for all of the staff at The Tooth Doctor and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dental practice without a moment's hesitation.

I've been through a process of having implants. Gerry and his team were first class through every stage - From initial discussions and information , explaining what was being done and what was involved.As someone who is fairly nervous regarding dentistry in general I was made to feel at ease and relaxed at every stage.I am delighted with the outcome and can't recommend The Tooth Doctor highly enough.The ongoing after-care service has been superb.

I cannot thank Gerry, my dentist, and Aimee, the dental nurse, enough for their incredible care and professionalism. I had been avoiding the dentist for years due to traumatic experiences after a car accident, and I was so nervous that I even had hypnosis to prepare myself for the visit. However, from the moment I walked into the Tooth Doctor in Carluke, both Gerry and Aimee made me feel completely at ease.Their empathy, patience, and understanding were beyond reassuring, and I felt comfortable right from the start. Over four visits, they helped me overcome my fear, and I now feel confident and much better for it. Their expertise and attention to detail were top-notch, and the whole experience was so much smoother than I ever expected.I would also like to give a big shoutout to the fabulous receptionists who made everything run so smoothly. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Gerry, Aimee, and the team at the Tooth Doctor to anyone, especially those feeling anxious about dental visits. Thank you all so much for everything!

I am an extremely anxious person when it comes to going to the dentist.However, from the moment I called the The Tooth Doctor I felt straight at ease. ALL the staff are genuinely lovely people, who always greet you with a lovely welcome making you feel relaxed straight away.As for Sofia and Kirsty, they have been absolutely fantastic. They both show a genuine interest in you as their patient and building a strong relationship to enable you to feel relaxed. They go above and beyond to try ensure your comfortable by providing different relaxation items from eye masks, lip balm etc which you get if your appointment is over 45 minutes long. I am now not terrified to go to the dentist all thanks to them and the care and passion they have in their job.I cannot thank or recommend anyone enough to go to The Tooth Doctor.

I've recently had a tooth implant and crown fitted by Gerry at The Tooth Doctor. I'm delighted with the results and so glad I went ahead with it. I really appreciated the late opening hours so I could fit it around my work. All the staff are friendly and professional! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the dentist practice.

As someone who was terrified of the dentist resulting in sleepless nights shaking and fainting in the chair the horror that filled me when a tooth cracked was awful. I’d not been to a dentist since before Covid and was in no rush to go back. I saw the Tooth Doctor advertised and read the reviews and after a few failed attempts of actually me trying to get the courage to book in. I didThe whole experience from sitting in the waiting room to the actual treatment is amazing so friendly nothing is too much trouble and completely pain free. I had to go twice for fillings and the second time no stress no anxiety as the first was such a positive experience. I highly recommend them to anyone especially if you’re scared of the dentist. I’ve booked my 7 yr old daughter in now for her check up many thanks Sofia Jade and Kirsty

The team at Tooth Doctor are beyond fantastic! From start to finish my experience has been excellent!Ive been having treatment with Gerry and Amiee for the past few months and I’am ecstatic with my results. Gerry is a complete perfectionist, every appointment was explained and pain free as guaranteed. I have a difficult bite to work with and Gerry made sure we were both happy before the final fit and WOW!!! I’m delighted with my end result and I feel so confident in smiling now. Gerry has given me exactly what we discussed and I’ll definitely be going back for further work.I’ve already recommended Gerry and the team to others and I will continue to do so.

Had some cosmetic work done a few years back and it’s hands down the best thing I’ve ever done. My experience at the Tooth Doctor was so good I decided to stay here rather than my local dentist for check ups and hygienist visits. Can’t recommend Gerry and the team enough for their outstanding services.

Sofia, Kirsty & Charlotte worked miracles during my smile makeover process. My results are nothing short of magical, since coming to the end of the process I haven't been able to stop smiling and recommending Tooth Doctor to anyone that would listen.Throughout the whole experience I felt supported, comfortable and I could tell at every visit the team were just as invested in my process as I was.I loved at every visit the ladies spent the time getting to know me (and me them) which as an anxious patient, made such a difference in being able to enjoy the experience and tough it out.If you're considering going through the experience then I advice you to take the jump ASAP! Sofia, Kirsty & Charlotte really are the dream team of Dentistry 🤍😁

Massive thank you to Sofia for helping me get my smile back! Met both Sofia and Kirsty at the end of last year when I started my treatment and I have to say it's been a fabulous and very much a pain free experience the whole way. I don't know anyone that isn't normally anxious going to the dentist but as soon as you walk through the door, you're met by the lovely ladies sitting at reception who make you feel at ease and that continues through your whole appointment. I of course would highly recommend The Tooth Doctor to anyone. Thanks again to Sofia, Kirsty and the rest of the dream team at The Tooth Doctor Carluke.

The team at Tooth Doctor are fantastic! I have been receiving treatment from Sophia and Kirsty for the past few months and the entire experience has been easy, painless and - most importantly - successful.Booking appointments is always easy with short wait times, and I am greeted with a friendly smile from the reception staff every time. Sophia and Kirsty are incredible at what they do and always bring a welcoming and uplifting energy to my appointments, which certainly makes things more comforting!I highly recommend Tooth Doctor!

Hi my name is Tracy Morton. I had an appointment with Jane Riley ,to be sedated for work done on my teeth.I was very nervous because of past experience from another dentist. Jane made me feel very relaxed as soon as I walked through the door. I can't believe Jane was able to complete all the work I needed doing, under sedation. I'm over the moon with my front teeth and been able to take my tooth out, with out any pain. Jane and Tyler are very lovely caring people. I would recommend Jane to anyone, very professional and caring.Thank you Jane. I would also like to thank Corrine and to receptionist staff for being so patient and lovely, with me nothing is to much trouble. O yes I can't forget Lauren Knox , she is so kind and very helpful, as well

I had lots of work done with Gerry and Aimee who were absolutely amazing with me, I was absolutely petrified prior to my first visit and from that visit on they done absolutely everything they could to make me at ease and calm during any treatments/ consultations.I hated my smile and never ever smiled in any pictures prior to my treatments. After much patience from Gerry and Aimee I am now soooo much more confident and actually find myself smiling 😃. So I am now not bothered by dental visits I actually have my confidence back tooSo thank you thank you thank you to you both for your ongoing patience with my tears and anxiety.Amazing team from reception to treatments ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way

I've been fortunate to be a patient of Gerry's for a number of years and his personal ethos of finding the right solution for his patients is clearly evident.

I recently had the pleasure of receiving dental care from Sofia and Kirsty, and I feel compelled to share my exceptional experience. As someone who suffers from severe dental anxiety, I approached my appointment with a lot of trepidation. However, Sofia and Kirsty went above and beyond to ensure my comfort throughout the entire process, providing a level of care and understanding that was truly beyond my expectations.I am profoundly grateful to Sofia and Kirsty for their exceptional care. They have not only addressed my immediate dental needs but have also significantly alleviated my anxiety about future dental visits. This experience has been a turning point for me, and I cannot thank them enough for their kindness, skill, and dedication to patient comfort.

Hi, I was looking for a dentist for possible dental implants and I decided to have a free consultation with The Tooth Doctor after visiting their website and reading the reviews, during my consultation with Corinne it was made clear to me the required treatment and the cost, when I decided to go ahead I had several appointments that were all at a convenient time for myself with the hygienist Kelly and Gerry my dentist, during my treatment I was always made aware what was going on and made as comfortable as possible, my implants and bridge have now been fitted and they are perfect, they look very natural and I have had lots of compliments on how good they look from my family and friends, I honestly can not thank Gerry and all the lovely staff at The Tooth Doctor for giving me smile back.thanks 😁
