All about Dr Andrew Hinchcliff

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.

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.

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.

All about Dr Lincoln Fleetwood

For all round connection to Fullarton Park Dental, Lincoln's story is hard to beat! This was his childhood dentist growing up and while studying dentistry many moons ago Lincoln spent time observing Dr Andrew Hinchcliff. Fast forward to today, and with twenty years of experience looking after his own patients in the Barossa Valley the circle has been completed and Lincoln has returned to Fullarton Park Dental - this time as dentist rather than patient. Speaking of the Barossa Valley, if Lincoln was a wine, he'd be a hearty full-bodied red which goes well with everything. Lincoln is a man of many interests and talents, but he’s far too humble to tell you that himself.

Lincoln loves a chat, be it about music, cricket, the plight (good or occasionally bad) of his much loved Adelaide Crows, or many and other varied topics. To put it in really simple terms.… he’s a really nice guy. But don't take our word for it, come and see Lincoln and find out for yourself!

All about Dr Greta Filosi

Blessed with the creative eye of her artist father and the critical thinking of her maths teacher mother, Greta merged these inherited skills of art and science into her career as a dentist. In every photo of Greta growing up she seemed to have a paintbrush permanently affixed to her hand…. Creating, drawing, painting, and these skills have translated into her work as a dentist. Greta sees the shapes, shades and possibilities where others just see the raw structures of teeth. With her gentle touch and artistic eye, Greta is well equipped to use her dental tools to sculpt and mould her fillings and dental work into something that resembles - shall we say - a work of art.

Greta’s kind and thoughtful nature make her a patient favourite, and away from dentistry she turns her creative interests to making handmade jewellery (feel free to ask to see some!) and looking after her full-of-beans daughter with her husband Michael.

The Dental Bits

  • Qualification - Bachelor of Dental Surgery (University of Adelaide)
  • Worked in rural and city dental practices in NSW, Tasmania and South Australia
  • Clinical Tutor 3rd year Undergraduate Dental Students - University of Adelaide (previous)
  • Special interests- improving smiles and helping nervous people achieve a healthy mouth

Dr Greta Filosi (Schulz) joined Fullarton Park Dental in 2019 to work with her husband Michael having previously worked at St Marys and interstate. Greta is kind, thoughtful, caring and gentle.

All about Dr Michael Filosi

Michael is a fully-fledged, card-carrying nerd, and he would not have it any other way. He loves to solve hard, interesting, meaningful problems and is ever curious about how to do things better and dive deeper into those areas of life that interest him. A dentist by profession and training, Michael turned a slightly worn-down dental practice with a big heart and great bones into an eight surgery (and counting) facility in the heart of the inner Eastern suburbs of Adelaide. When others zigged, Michael zagged. Forget about hard sells and “pushing” dental treatment on patients, Michael decided that Fullarton Park Dental would focus on looking after people, doing the right thing, and trust that patients would tell their friends and family. Guess what? It worked.

A husband to Greta (also a dentist) and father to a six-year-old daughter, Michael spends his spare time reading and indulging his love of the twin joys of learning and play – be that a board game, a magic trick, a basketball scrimmage with friends, or building a treehouse. Not sure where he is in a crowd? Look for the tallest person in the room, and it is probably Michael.

The Dental Bits

  • Qualification - Bachelor of Dental Surgery (University of Adelaide).
  • Qualification - Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (University of South Australia).
  • Clinical Tutor 3rd year Undergraduate Dental Students - University of Adelaide (previous).

In 2022 Michael became Clinical Director and is responsible for overseeing the clinical care provided to all of the patients of Fullarton Park Dental.
