Dr Meg is an experienced dentist who graduated from the University of Western Australia in 2016.

Meg grew up on the outskirts of Tokyo in Japan. After finishing high school in Japan, a desire for an adventure first took her to Canada, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, then to the UK where she earned her Ph.D in Medical Oncology. Meg then spent four years working as a scientist in Melbourne. This is when she realised her desire to pursue a career in dentistry.

Meg loves dentistry so much that as well as being her profession, she also calls it her hobby. She takes her pride in providing the best dental care possible for every patient. Meg uses a no-pain injection technique, and her patients are often surprised how pain-free dental treatment can be after seeing her. Meg’s gentle, caring yet relaxed manner can put the most anxious patients at ease.

She is highly skilled in extractions, root canals, and restorative treatments such as fillings and crowns/veneers.

When she is not at work, her life revolves around spending time with her loved ones. Family caravan adventures around the beautiful Midwest region are enjoyed regularly. Meg has called Geraldton her home since 2021 and loves the lifestyle the Midwest provides. She is a crazy dog lover - you might see her at the beach with her beloved kelpies.
