Our Team
Our dentists, Dr Craig Jones and Dr Rebecca Lui, graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1989. They then completed more advanced dental training by obtaining a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry from the same university in 1996. They continue to be active participants of ongoing professional development by regularly attending conferences and seminars to keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date.
Dr Craig Jones started his dental career by being presented with the university's award for Excellence in Clinical Dentistry. He then spent the next 8 years working with the Royal Australian Navy, which took him to Cerberus, Sydney, Canberra and several overseas deployments. He retired from the Navy in 1997 as a Lieutenant Commander and has been working at Patterson Lakes Dental Group since. Craig enjoys practising all areas of dentistry. He takes pride in the quality of his work and in providing dental care in a gentle way. Assisting nervous patients to achieve their dental goals is the part of dentistry that he most enjoys. Sports take up most of his leisure time as he is a keen golfer, lawn bowler and table tennis player.
Dr Rebecca Lui spent the first few years of her career working in community dental health as well as in private practice. She started the Patterson Lakes Dental Group in 1996. Experienced in both public and private dentistry, Rebecca has taken the best practice philosophies from both and incorporated them into her practice. Rebecca finds the human aspect of dentistry the most satisfying. She is always gentle and compassionate towards everyone who comes through her door. Outside dentistry, Rebecca enjoys table tennis, music and the movies.
Jenny is our main front desk staff. She has many years of experience in private practice. She also spent some time working from a mobile dental van looking after residents with limited mobility. Jenny has been a local in the Mornington Peninsula area for many years.
Fran joined us from a city practice over ten years ago. She has multiple roles at our practice, from dental nursing to administrative duties. Outside of dentistry, Fran enjoys overseas travelling and is constantly on the lookout for good travel deals!
Amber also joined our practice ten years ago after having taken leave from dental nursing to start her family. She is a very valuable member of our team both inside the surgery and at the front desk. Most of her non-dental life is devoted to her young children. She also enjoys keeping fit at the gym.
Kristy works at our practice two days a week, doing both reception and clinical duties. She is a dental assistant with over 15 years of experience. Her passion is cooking, especially with fresh produce from her garden. She also enjoys painting whenever she has spare time.
