Aidan McDonnell

Cofounder / Chief Experience Officer

With over 8 years of experience in Business Strategy and Digital Marketing, Aidan McDonnell is the driving force behind the smooth operation of the clinic.

He began his career by graduating in Biomedical Sciences from Maynooth University before swapping his lab coat for Patagonia sweaters and starting work at a tech startup, where he learned all aspects of business and marketing over 8 years, eventually becoming Head of Product. He has transferred his business knowledge to Clínica Dental Raíces, where he has implemented a unique management model focused on the patient and continuous feedback cycles that drive continuous improvement.

He and his wife, Dr. Alaa Ghuzlan, decided that they both had a unique skill set that, together, could revolutionize the dental experience in Tenerife and provide more opportunities for the local community. He and Dr. Alaa aim to create pleasant experiences for patients, where they look forward to visiting the dentist, and break the outdated concept of dental clinics as cold, white, and scary places. This is how Clínica Dental Raíces was born.

When he's not working, Aidan can be found cycling around the island, proudly wearing the pink jersey of the local cycling team CC Orbaorotava, or eating in the local guachinches with Dr. Alaa.
