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.

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.
