As one of the founders of our private medical practice in Grays, Iulia Popescu is the driving force ensuring our patient care is delivered with unmatched warmth and exceptional efficiency.
Iulia has built a career defined by successful leadership and a deep understanding of human connection. Her extensive professional background includes senior roles at an international bank and managing operations in the US hospitality sector. Most notably, her highly relevant, local expertise was honed during a successful multi-year tenure as the Registered Manager for a prominent dental clinic in Canary Wharf.
This experience proved transformative, as her high level of operational competence, regulatory compliance, and ability to cultivate high-performing teams earned the profound trust of her then-employer—who is now her business partner in this new venture. This transition from manager to co-owner is the strongest possible validation of her executive excellence and shared vision for compassionate, compliant healthcare.
Her commitment to people is also rooted in academic dedication. With a foundation built on a teaching diploma and advanced degrees in Finance and Management, Iulia also holds training in Psychology, which provides her with a crucial edge: the ability to truly understand and anticipate patient needs.

“I’ve always believed that the best healthcare is not just clinical excellence, but the feeling of absolute security and trust. My vocation is to ensure that every person who walks through our doors feels heard, respected and genuinely cared for—the exact standard I would insist upon for my own family.”

Iulia is dedicated to transforming the patient journey in Grays, turning the often-stressful experience of accessing healthcare into one that is prompt, supportive and safe. She pours her passion into cultivating a clinic environment where patients receive exactly what they need, exactly when they need it, delivered by a team that shares her commitment to excellence and empathy

DDS General Dentist with a Special Interest in Children’s Orthodontics

Adrian Mateas began his professional journey in Romania, where he first graduated in Law. After moving to the UK, he and his wife, Ramona — also a dentist — opened their first dental clinic in 2014 in Canary Wharf, London. Built through determination and a genuine commitment to patient care, that small practice quickly grew into a trusted name known for warmth and professionalism.

Motivated by a desire to take a more active clinical role, Adrian later returned to university to earn his Dentistry degree. Since then, he has developed a special interest in Children’s Orthodontics, helping young patients achieve healthy, confident smiles.

Today, Adrian serves as the Managing Director of SameDay Dentist clinics in Watford and Birmingham, leading a team of more than 24 professionals. His blend of legal training, clinical expertise and kindness shapes the supportive, respectful environment he is known for.

Adrian is also the co-owner of MedicaPlus, a new private medical clinic in Grays, where he continues to build modern, accessible and genuinely compassionate healthcare services.

For Adrian, healthcare is about trust, dignity and making every patient feel genuinely supported.
