Meet your Dentist

I was born in South Korea and grew up in New Zealand from the age of 7. Queensland has been home to my family and I since 2011 when I started working as a dentist in Hervey Bay. Having gained valuable experience on the northside of Brisbane for more than 11 years, I am excited to open my practice to provide services in my local community on the southside.

Building rapport and trust with my patients is a merit of this profession I find enjoyable and rewarding. I have experienced the importance of continuity in dental care as patients become familiar with my approach to dentistry and allowing a deeper understanding of patients’ preferences and needs, enabling me to tailor services effectively.

This is the first dental practice where I have experienced such exceptional care and attention from the entire team. They have been warm and welcoming, and John in particular has been incredibly helpful in addressing my dental concerns. Not only is he thorough and professional during every procedure, but he also takes the time to ensure I’m comfortable and informed at each step. I really appreciate that he makes the effort to accommodate my schedule too. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for genuinely patient-focused dental care.
