Front Office Team

Melessa Johnson, Practice Manager

As our practice manager, Mel finds the dental world fascinating, particularly the changing attitudes towards treatments and technologies in the field.

My role allows me the privilege of helping our patients navigate their dental journey, whether that is through general dentistry, complex dentistry, implants or orthodontics. I also love the connections that we build with our patients as they become part of our dental family.

Mel possesses more than 17 years of experience as a practice manager. She stays abreast of the latest in the field by taking professional development courses. She always loves to learn something new.

Outside of work, Mel loves spending time with her three beautiful boys. She also enjoys doing embroidery and cross stitch, reading and collecting skulls.

I know that sounds strange, but I think they’re beautiful!

Christine (Chriss) Brownley, Front Office Coordinator

Chriss joins our team after completing her Certificate III in Business Administration and her Certificate III in Financial Services. She enjoys being able to help patients have a hassle-free visit to our practice and resolves any issues they may experience.

Addressing patient concerns to help them have a stress-free visit with us is what I’m here for!

Outside of the practice, she enjoys cooking, keeping active, sewing, reading and home improvement projects.

Bronwyn (Bron) Gandle, Front Office Coordinator

Bron has always had a keen interest in dentistry.

I happened to fall into dental assisting in 2011 after not knowing what to do after leaving high school.” Eight years later she finds herself still loving what she does.

When she’s not at the practice, Bron likes to bake. Her colleagues and sometimes patients enjoy the various treats she brings into the office. Bron is also a massive fan of Harry Potter and considers herself a Gryffindor and is a big fan of Fantastic Beasts. She considers Niffler to be her spirit animal.
