Prior to working in private practice, Monika worked with NSW Health Public Dental at the Port Macquarie and Kempsey clinics. During this time, she gained invaluable experience managing patients with special needs, dental trauma, dental emergencies, paediatric patients and an increasing number of patients experiencing stress-related jaw pain.

Dr Monika enjoys all aspects of dentistry and has a special interest in cosmetic dentistry, stress-related jaw problems and special needs dentistry. She regularly attends professional development courses to keep her knowledge and skills up to date.

Being a parent herself, she particularly enjoys working with children and helping them feel comfortable and at ease during their dental visits.

Outside of dentistry, Monika loves spending time with her children, playing, reading books and dancing. She also enjoys cooking Indian cuisine for her family and friends.
