Dr. Phoebe Liang
Associate Dentist
BOralH MasDent Griff
Dr Phoebe was born and raised in Sydney but later moved and fell in love with the sunny state of Queensland to study dentistry.
Another graduate from Griffith Universtity, Dr Phoebe decided that moving to Toowoomba was the right choice to continue to expand her skills and knowledge across all aspects of dentistry whilst enjoying the slower pace of life Toowoomba has to offer.
Dr Phoebe feels fortunate and privileged that she can be in a profession where she can influence and inspire the lives of patients every day about their oral health. Our patients compliment Dr Pheobe on her gentle and personable approach to treatment.
You might find Dr Pheobe out in the community usually trying out new restaurants/cafes with friends, running and going on road trips.
OUR PRACTICE
The feeling of belonging is translated into how we approached the look and feel of Toowoomba Dental Practice to emit a welcoming feeling.
Previously home to Mr & Mrs Jack & Annie Bolt in 1936, we have lovingly and carefully retrofitted this home into our own. Keeping as much of the original character as possible, our practice maintains its homely feeling. We are proud to call this 'home' for Toowoomba Dental, we hope you do too.
