Rachel Nichols is one of the longest-standing members of our team, having been part of Marton Dental Practice since 2000. Over more than two decades, she has grown with the practice, starting her career as a Dental Nurse before progressing to her current role as Assistant Manager.
With her wealth of experience, Rachel brings a calm, organised presence to the front desk and behind the scenes. She’s often one of the first people patients speak to on the phone or see when they arrive, and her warm, friendly manner helps put people at ease straight away. Many of our long-standing patients know Rachel by name and trust her to help with everything from booking appointments to answering questions about their care.
Her combination of clinical background and front-of-house experience means she understands both the patient journey and the needs of the clinical team, making her a key link in keeping the practice running smoothly.
Outside of work, Rachel is a proud mum of two children who keep her happily busy. Her caring, down-to-earth nature extends well beyond the practice, making her an invaluable member of both her family and our team.
Whether she’s welcoming patients at reception, supporting colleagues, or quietly making sure the day runs to plan, Rachel is a big part of what makes Marton Dental Practice feel so friendly and familiar.
