ST ARNAUD FAMILY DENTAL WELCOMES NEW PRACTICE OWNER

Dr Clarissa Cheng and Practice Manager Des Ang would like to announce that they are handing the reins of St Arnaud Family Dental to Dr David O'Malley and his wife Siobhan.

April 2022

Dr Clarissa and Des would sincerely like to thank the local community for their kind and loyal support over the past 8 years, and hope that the community continues to support the clinic.

Dr Haresh Menon will head up St Arnaud Family Dental as the primary clinician with support from Dr O'Malley. Between them they have over 25 years experience. Haresh graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Science (Hons), from the University of Melbourne. Haresh is an experienced dentist who prides himself on giving gentle dental care to patients, especially to those who may be reluctant to attend due to past experiences. He enjoys turning a previous negative experience into a positive one. Haresh always aims to restore a patient's confidence, whether it be through restorative or cosmetic work, or with his empathetic and understanding demeanour. Outside of work, you will find Haresh spending time with family and friends, or trying to stay in shape on a mostly ornamental treadmill.

Dr O'Malley and his family live in Bendigo where they settled in 2012 after moving from Ireland. Dr O'Malley prides himself on building rapport with his patients and offering them all the suitable solutions. He believes it is his job to tell his patients what he can do to help them smile and eat, and it is their job to tell him what they would like to achieve. He has taken extensive post graduate training in both orthodontics and endodontics (root canal treatments), so is confident to offer these comprehensive range of services.

Dr Clarissa and Des would like to thank again all their patients they were privileged to serve over the years, "It has been an absolute pleasure to know you all and you will still see us around town."
