Natalie — Practice Manager
I am a New Zealander and have been living and working in Australia for 9 years with my Australian born husband in Neutral Bay.
My career in dentistry has given me 20+ years’ experience, shared across three organisations in three cities within Australia and New Zealand. These wonderful clinics have exposed me to management and clinical roles with a Specialist Orthodontist and 2x General Dental practices.
Dentistry for me is a wonderful way to help and communicate with patients and friends alike to achieve their very personal dental goals and also maintain good oral health.
I am happy to say our industry in this day is not only focused on teeth but is now receiving strong connection to general health with the support and evidence of dental and medical experts across the globe. It is my pleasure to be a-part of a dental health sector that has the ability to educate and provide sound information to people everywhere.
With great fortune I can have fun in my work, and now it continues within the Boutique Dental Care team.
