Dentist · Leppington, NSW
Shilpa John
The dentist who explains things properly.
Available for associate dentist positions
I 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.
