Hi, I’m Dr. Rachel!

I graduated from the University of Melbourne with honours and am passionate about providing dental care in a warm, welcoming environment where patients feel comfortable and heard. Before joining Whitehorse Smile Care, I practised in regional New South Wales, where I developed a strong appreciation for the importance of accessible dental care and building genuine connections with my patients.

Before becoming a dentist, I worked as both a personal trainer and a veterinary nurse. These experiences have shaped the way I approach patient care. Working as a personal trainer taught me the importance of helping people take an active role in their health, while my time as a veterinary nurse strengthened my patience and understanding when caring for those who may feel anxious or vulnerable.

I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry, with particular interests in root canal treatment, dental implants and wisdom tooth removal. One of the things I love most about being a dentist is getting to know my patients and their families, building long-term relationships and supporting them through different stages of their dental care.

Outside the clinic, I love staying active through bouldering, running and Muay Thai. I’m also a big foodie and enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring new places and embracing new adventures.
