Sarah is an associate dentist who graduated from the University of Queensland. Originally from a very small, cold town in Canada. She lived in Brisbane for 5 years before moving to the beautiful Sunshine Coast. With a knack for gentle care and meaningful conversations, Sarah believes that
easing nerves and fostering open communication are the cornerstones of exceptional dental experiences.

Detail oriented to the core, she is passionate about providing the highest quality treatment and is an advocate of preventative and minimally invasive dentistry. Sarah also has her laser license and is committed to furthering her knowledge with continued development courses.

When she is not at work, Sarah is exercising, reading a good book or winning a board game. She also has a sweet tooth, so if you see her at the French patisserie feel free to say hello!
