Mandy

Mandy

Administration

I’ve been part of the Sydenham Dental Group team for 28 years, working in administration and welcoming patients through our doors.

One of the things I love most about my role is the wonderful relationships we’ve built with our patients and their families over the years. It’s so special to see children grow into adults, and to continue caring for their dental health throughout the different stages of their lives.

I love making our patients feel comfortable, welcome and at ease when they visit us. I know that coming to the dentist can be daunting for some people, so creating a friendly and relaxed environment is something that’s really important to me. Building genuine relationships with our patients and getting to know them is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

Outside of dentistry, I love spending time socialising with family and friends and travelling around Australia. I’ve currently visited three states, with plenty more on my list! I’m looking forward to exploring the rest of Australia and seeing what each state has to offer.

I really enjoy the patient side of dentistry and making sure everyone feels comfortable and well looked after when they come into the practice. It’s important to me that patients feel welcomed and cared for throughout their visit.

When I’m not at work, I’m usually planning my next overseas trip with my partner or looking for a new restaurant to try. I love travelling, good food and finding new places to explore!
