All about Dr Olivia Lien

Olivia is one of a kind - Pet lover, funky sock wearer, occasional Japanese whisky connoisseur - we at Fullarton Park Dental are blessed and fortunate to have her work with us. All these little insights about Olivia didn't all spill out at once though, but rather they've slowly revealed themselves over the time she's worked with us. While Olivia's quiet and genuine nature shines through straight away when you meet her, all the little tidbits that make her interesting might not immediately meet your eye. The thing about Olivia is that she puts her patients at the centre of everything she does and makes you the centre of her working world. Olivia takes pride in looking after you as an individual, providing one of a kind, not one size fits all dental care, and if you happen to find out about her dog named Butters as your rapport grows with each visit, all the better for it!

All about Dr Andrew Hinchcliff (retired)

When the story of Fullarton Park Dental is written one day, Andrew's contribution will need its own volume all for itself. This beautiful practice that has served the local community is built on the hard work and caring nature of Andrew, and we are all the better for it!

Andrew is full of good-old-fashioned values of care, concern, listening and goes about his work in a gentle way. Respected by all who have had the pleasure of meeting him, Andrew can be found on the weekends tending to his farm in Inman Valley, spending time with his GP wife Deb and their dogs and farm animals. Andrew is partial to a chat about his farm, his strawberry plants, or his four adult sons. Whatever Fullarton Park Dental becomes in the future, it will only be possible because Andrew laid the groundwork that we have been able to build upon.
