DR MARK SALANOWSKI

After 32 enjoyable years at Macedon Street Dental, Mark decided it was time to hang up his dental loupes. It has been a privileged journey – to see the practice grow, to see his patients grow and start their own families, to work alongside numerous colleagues and to share both the good times and the hard yards of running a busy practice with a wonderful band of loyal and dedicated staff.

He does miss his chats with his regular patients and wishes them well for the future.

His two dogs and possibly even his wife are delighted to have him home full time. Travel, cooking, gardening , improving at chess and lawn bowls keep him partially occupied. Last but not least, he is finally making some inroads into his wine collection.
