Our Team
ALASTAIR - DENTIST
Alastair leads from the front and goes beyond expectation with his patients. Educating and empowering his patients so they can be entirely involved in the decision making process is something he prides himself on, as well as being friendly and listening to fears
and concerns. Without scrubs on, Alastair becomes child wrangler and dad to two daughters while trying to indulge in his love of sport and music – not an easy feat!
JONO - DENTIST
With more than a decade of experience since graduating from Otago, working in Dunedin and Dinsdale, Jono enjoys being part of the team and contribute to the excellence and care that Focus 32 strives for. One of the best parts of being a dentist is partnering with people to improve the health and appearance of their mouth, and seeing the confidence and enjoyment they get from it. Many people
also have a lot of apprehension about going to the dentist, but Jono enjoys providing a pleasant experience that people want to come back for. In his down time, Jono loves hanging out with his wife and kids, playing the guitar and the occasional game session with the guys.
SALLY - ORAL HEALTH THERAPIST
Sally, a proud alumna of Otago University, began her journey as an oral health therapist in 2012. Sally strives to provide her patients with the highest level of care and respect. She takes the time to attentively listen to her patients’ concerns and needs, working collaboratively with them to achieve optimal oral health outcomes. Known for her warm, welcoming, and compassionate nature, Sally’s gentle and bubbly manner puts her patients at ease from the
moment they walk through the door. She aspires to be remembered by her patients as a gentle hygienist who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure their comfort and satisfaction. Outside work, Sally is a super mum to her three beautiful children – Bella, Caleb, and Jacob. Sally’s role as a loving mother remains her greatest source of pride and fulfillment.
VICKY - HYGIENIST
Vicky trained in Sheffield, UK and qualified in 1991. She moved to New Zealand with her family in 2014. She has always had a passion for dentistry and helping others, having done so now for over 30 years. She enjoys working as a dental hygienist and helping others in achieving their optimal oral and general health. Vicky prides herself on her calm, professional and caring approach with her
patients. This, coupled with her greatest sense of empathy particularly for patients who may be nervous or may have not been to the dentist in a long time, means together the very best results can be achieved. Outside of work, she enjoys her garden, walking her dog, camping and cooking for family.
JESS - PRACTICE MANAGER
Jess is the smiling face you’ll see around the practice at Focus 32. As Practice Manager, she uses her legal and accounting background to keep the practice running as smoothly as possible until
school is out, then it’s time for her ‘mum’ hat to go on. Cooking and baking for family and friends while looking after her two daughters are top priority in her hours away from the practice.
