GEORGE CAMPBELL – ORTHODONTIST

Dr George Campbell was born and educated in Glasgow in his early years, before moving on to study Dentistry at Edinburgh University. Following his graduation, he completed a short service in the British Army as a Captain. He then had various posts in oral and maxillofacial surgery as he underwent his fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in Glasgow.

After finishing his fellowship, he spent time in London where he obtained his MSc, and spent three years as the Registrar in Orthodontics at the renowned Guy’s Hospital. He also earned his MOrth in Orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. George then went on to work as a consultant in Orthodontics in a hospital near to London for a year prior to opening his own practice in 1999 in East Kilbride, Scotland.

The practice enjoyed great success and over time expanded, to include six more practices around Scotland, including:

· Queen’s Park (which was previously Love and Hughes)

· Hamilton

· Jordanhill

· Kilmarnock

· Greenock

· Cumbernauld

As his career has progressed George has been very interested in passing on his knowledge and helping others in the field. To date he has trained 11 orthodontic therapists which has given them the opportunity to develop their skills and careers as a whole. He also supports registrars who are in training to become orthodontists with regular sessions being held by him at Guy’s Hospital in London. This includes new clinics for patients who have been sent from the South East and London.

George belongs to multiple societies and organisations including the World Federation of Orthodontists, the British and European Orthodontic Societies, and he is an international member of the American Orthodontists Society. He attends this yearly for continual professional development. His extensive knowledge and experience have earned him a place in the Who’s Who of Dentistry. He is very passionate about academics which is what has led him to become an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh.
