Dr Kazim Mahmood

Dr. Kazim Mahmood qualified from Guy’s Hospital, London, where he was awarded the prestigious University of London Gold Medal finishing as the top graduate amongst the London Dental Schools.

Kazim (otherwise known as Kaz) is originally from the village of Pendle in East Lancashire where some of his family still live. Having grown up in quite a rural and serene setting he feels very much at home looking after the community of patients that come through the doors of Summerfield Dental Practice in Claygate.

He has worked in NHS and Private dental practices in Lancashire and Birmingham. He has also been a Senior House Officer in Liverpool and Birmingham Dental Hospital with a focus on advanced restorative dentistry managing the care of patients referred in by general dentists presenting with a range of complex issues such as head and neck cancer, oral and maxillofacial trauma as well as developmental defects.

Since taking over the practice from Dr’s Edward and Victoria Bosch with his wife Nina he has enjoyed immersing himself amongst the local residents of the Elmbridge Borough all the while implementing his vision to develop the practice into a centre of clinical excellence. This has involved investment to digitise the practice and to equip it with the latest technology to provide the very best care for all patients.

Kazim is also currently spending some clinical time in the middle of the week at Guys’ Hospital and Kings’ College Hospital completing specialist training and a master’s degree in the field of endodontics (Root Canal Treatments). This is an intense and really rewarding programme that affords him the opportunity to treat more complex cases referred into the hospital setting from general practice, work with some of the world-leading clinicians in this field and also have involvement in the teaching of the dentists of the future.
