A TOP regional health award has been awarded to a Bolton dentist for the third time.

Dr Zuber Bagasi, clinical director of the Synergy Dental Clinics’ group, has again scooped the Dentist of the Year title in the Best of Health Awards in Blackpool.

These awards are based on votes from patients and Dr Bagasi won after scores of patients nominated him for the title, praising his skills, professionalism and excellent manner.

The busy Blackpool Synergy Clinic is in Central Drive.

It is another 2016 milestone for Dr Bagasi, who lives in Lostock, as he opened his seventh dental practice earlier in the year in Preston. He added this to two Synergy practices in Bolton – in Blackburn Road and in Higher Swan Lane – one in Bury (in Tenterden Street) and other practices in Ormskirk and Birmingham.

He is no stranger to awards. Apart from the Best of Health Awards, Dr Bagasi and his clinics have been shortlisted in the British Dental Association’s regional awards several times. He has also won the Highly Commended award in the Bolton and Bury Business Awards.

“I am particularly pleased about winning the Best of Health Award because it was something that came from the appreciation of our patients,” said Dr Bagasi.

“All our teams try very hard to ensure that our patients receive the very best of care, employing the best possible, latest dental techniques.”
