Ian graduated from the University of Queensland in 1999. His passion still remains in good, old-fashioned general dentistry with prevention a focus. Ian understands that at times, life events can get in the way, and, our teeth become less of a priority. Ian will never be judgemental. He enjoys coming up with a joint plan with an achievable goal.

Outside of dentistry, Ian enjoys quiet times with his beloved wife Katrina and his old-girl Cavoodle, Shelby. You will often find Ian running silly long distances around Noosa, riding silly long distances in the Hinterland, or swimming silly long distances at Noosa Beach. Occasionally, doing all three together. Mostly, Ian loves working with a group of wonderful people. That is what we have here.
