Our Team

DR RODRIGO (ROD) ORB

Principal Dentist

Graduating from the University of Western Australia with a Bachelor of Dental Science in 1989, Dr Orb moved immediately to the Albany Government Dental Clinic where he gained invaluable experience treating a broad range of dental problems. He returned in 1991 to a posting at the Perth Dental Hospital in the general practice and emergency departments, where further continued to develop his diagnostic skills treating patients of all ages and backgrounds. He started his private practice with one patient in 1993 on Canning Highway in Attadale. Word of mouth referrals for the new “gentle” dentist in the area soon saw the clinic grow beyond its capacity and in 1999, the surgery had to relocate to its present location, allowing the practice to expand.

More about Rod…

HELEN OSBORN

Dental Nurse

After obtaining a Diploma in Dental Assisting as well as gaining necessary sterilisation knowledge working in the St John of God CSSD (Sterilisation Department), Helen is very experienced at both working “chair side” and with the general running of a dental practice. She is both a personable and happy team member and is a favourite amongst patients who find her warm manner soothing during appointments. Helen’s other role is to laugh at Dr Orb’s jokes during appointments and continually remind him of important birthdays and anniversaries!

PAM DRAPER

Patient Coordinator

After many years working in administration, the practice is lucky enough to have found Pam after she returned from ten years living it up in sunny Turkey. Pam and her husband sailed their yacht to the Mediterranean and there they stayed! Pam owned and managed a busy SCUBA diving business with her husband during this time and has brought those skills in to help run our practice. Pam is dedicated to making sure all patients are completely looked after from the time they phone to when they leave the practice and is always still sitting in her chair well after the practice is closed. Pam’s warm manner and attention to detail has endeared her to our patients who are always happy to be met with a familiar face over the past five years.
