Cocktails With – Dr Anissa Holmes
Dr Anissa Holmes channels her excitement into the perfect smile (naturally, since she’s a dentist) as she shares on the process of moving into her new office space at 1D -1E Braemar Avenue. She’s sitting, most chirpily, at Cuddy’z where she frequently flashes her pearly whites in between sips.
What are you sipping?
Cranberry juice and vodka.
What kind of day are you having?
A good one, I must say, it’s been quite productive.

Flats or stilettos?
Stilettos at night, flats for work.
Jeans or LBD?

What has moving offices been like for you?
It’s been great, I can finally do what I love to do: changing people’s smiles. The new office is a cosmetic dentistry centre… so it’s absolutely magical that I can now have a new place to share with people, see them gain confidence month after month (smiles).
What projects are you currently working on?
Setting up all the technology at the office, patients will be able to use an iPad to key in their information; it’s a completely paperless system.

Happy with friends, proud of the development my kids would have made and overseeing a successful business.
