Dr Isabelle Granger-Cohet DChD
Isabelle qualified as a dental surgeon at the Faculte de Chirurgie Dentaire in Strasbourg France in 1985 and completed her doctorate in 1986 with distinction. She moved to London the same year and established and developed her own private practice in Sloane Street, Knightsbridge in 1990.
Isabelle has considerable experience in running a private practice and consequently knows what a medical practitioner needs and wants. The ethos of her practice has been to create a calm and reassuring environment and Isabelle will bring the same ethos to Knaresborough Place Medical Chambers.
Isabelle is a founding member and currently chairperson of Medecine Francaise Londres www.medfrancaise.org.uk, an organisation of French speaking doctors in London. She has over the years built up a considerable network of private medical and dental practitioners in London.
Carolyn Collins
Carolyn is responsible for all non-medical aspects of the management of KPMC. She joins us from an illustrious career in the hospitality industry, primarily at some of London’s 5 star deluxe hotels and celebrated restaurants, including Dorchester and Lanesborough Hotel, Petrus, The Wolseley and Galvin Bistrot de Luxe. Carolyn held senior managerial positions at all of them.
Carolyn comes to us very highly recommended by two of the most successful restaurateurs in London and brings with her a culture immersed in hospitality, something which KPMC sees as a key ingredient to its success. Carolyn has implemented many valuable hospitality procedures and ideas new to a medical environment and without doubt not available elsewhere.
