Dentist · Leppington, NSW
Shilpa John
The dentist who explains things properly.
I trained and practised as a dentist in India, then started again in Australia — working as a dental assistant while I studied for the ADC exams. I believe in unhurried explanation and treating people the way I'd want my own family treated.
I speak English and Malayalam. Shilpa John, BDS · Registered Dentist, AHPRA DEN0004085490.
