For James, getting to know the person behind the smile is an essential part of dentistry. He takes time to understand your concerns, what matters to you and what you would like to achieve through treatment.

He approaches care with patience, explaining what is involved and giving you the opportunity to ask questions. His aim is to help you feel heard and supported, whether you are attending a routine check-up or considering more involved treatment.
You are welcome to discuss any worries at the start of your visit, including anything that has made previous dental appointments uncomfortable.
Dental needs change over time. A visit may focus on maintaining healthy teeth, addressing a particular concern or exploring changes to your smile.

He values clear communication throughout this process, so you can take an active role in decisions about your care.
James’s approach extends beyond the immediate reason for your appointment. He values patient education and helping people understand how to look after their teeth between visits.
Regular reviews also provide an opportunity to ask questions, discuss changes and revisit your dental care needs as circumstances evolve.
James speaks English and Mandarin, giving patients who prefer either language the opportunity to discuss their care more comfortably.
Outside dentistry, James enjoys staying active through badminton, volleyball and futsal. He also likes exploring Melbourne’s restaurants and spending time fishing with friends.
