Meet your Dentist

I was born in South Korea and grew up in New Zealand from the age of 7. Queensland has been home to my family and I since 2011 when I started working as a dentist in Hervey Bay. Having gained valuable experience on the northside of Brisbane for more than 11 years, I am excited to open my practice to provide services in my local community on the southside.

Building rapport and trust with my patients is a merit of this profession I find enjoyable and rewarding. I have experienced the importance of continuity in dental care as patients become familiar with my approach to dentistry and allowing a deeper understanding of patients’ preferences and needs, enabling me to tailor services effectively.

Patient Reviews

I've been seeing Dr. John Jo for almost a decade all the way through my teenage years into adulthood. Dr John has cleaned my teeth countless times, given advice on how to look after my teeth, organised teeth whitening kits that won't hurt my teeth, removed my wisdom teeth and been a genuinely lovely Dr. He always takes the time to catch up with me when I have my appointments and hear about my life.

I've recommended Dr John to all my family and friends because he is genuinely a fabulous dentist. Dr John has looked after my teeth since I was 16 years old and I've never had an issue with my teeth. Not a filling or anything. I credit this to him and his attention to detail.
