Dr Parfitt qualified as a dental surgeon in 1985 from Guys Hospital London. After a series of hospital appointments (in the specialties of oral surgery and children's dentistry) and two spells in general practice, he embarked on a formal three year post graduate orthodontic training program at University of Birmingham and has had a number of papers published.
He then came to Weston Super Mare in 1996 and started to develop Weston Orthodontic Centre, which is continuously growing, adapting and been modified to keep up with modern technology and skills still to this date. Dr Parfitt had previously worked in Wimpole Street in the West End of London.
