Dr Melanie graduated from the University of Adelaide and after practising for a number of years in Hobart, she made the decision to relocate permanently to Victoria after falling in love with the vibrant food scene, friendly people and rich art culture. She enjoys all aspects of dentistry and strongly believes that it should be practised with empathy, honesty, and open communication. After spending time with the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery teams at the Royal Hobart & Royal Adelaide Hospitals, she has developed a special interest in minor oral surgery.

Dr Melanie understands that visiting the dentist can be an anxious time for many people and works hard to create a relaxed environment for her patients with her humour and easy-going nature. When not working, she can be found enjoying a sweaty gym session or reading, and she is always on the hunt for new restaurants or brunch spots to try.
