Our Story

Our practice began its journey in the Whitgift Shopping Centre in 1970, founded by Mr. Norman Goldberg. Over time, it became a trusted part of the Croydon community. In 1994, Shahin Lalani joined the team, and her passion for patient care inspired her to take ownership in 1997. Under her leadership, the practice thrived, and in January 2016, we relocated to our current home on Chatsworth Road.

In 2012, Abhijeet Godbole, affectionately known as Abhi, joined our team. His dedication and expertise quickly became invaluable to the practice, and in 2018, he entered into a partnership with Shahin. Together, Shahin and Abhi continue to uphold the practice’s legacy of excellence while shaping its bright future.

"As a nervous dental patient I really needed a practice that could handle my needs but also provide an excellent and honest service. Shahin, Julie, Abs, Lynda and the team certainly provide that in abundance. There's always a cheery welcome and a level of care that is rarely found. I cannot recommend Whitgift Dental highly enough, I almost (not really!) look forward to going to the dentist!"
