Your Dentist

My enthusiasm and passion for Dentistry has seen me complete many hours of postgraduate education. I am also a founding member of the Melbourne Seattle Study Club which is a group of dentists worldwide that are passionate about dental care for their patients.

When I am not busy attending to my practice and the care of my patients, I enjoy cooking; especially Spanish and Italian food, organising huge lavish Sunday lunches for my family and friends. My ultimate dream is to rent a villa in Tuscany while attending a Tuscan cooking school.

I also collect malt whiskey and play golf with my two sons (hoping that one day for the three of us to make it to Augusta to watch the U.S masters).

Having been in practice for nearly 30 years I am so fortunate to be treating the second and sometimes third generation of patients from the same family
