Almost a year ago, Dr IrsanYong and his wife Dr HiromiNagano decided to make the bigmove from city to country, insearch of a simpler life.

The pair found Parkes to bethe perfect place to realise theirdreams of starting a new prac-tice and raising a family, andthey say the decision was aneasy one.

The couple met in 2000whilst both studying dentistry atthe University of Melbourne,and have since worked in Aus-tralia and travelled overseas tolearn and gain experience fromworld leaders of the industry.

Irsan is passionate about cos-metic dentistry, and is able touse his expertise in orthodonticsand implant dentistry as well asgeneral dentistry to provide a

more holistic approach suited toeach individual.

His patients describe him asgentle, caring, thorough, andeasy to talk to.

Hiromi enjoys working withyoung children, and is passion-ate about reducing the inci-dence of decay and gum diseasein patients of all age groups.

She is a good listener, andher compassionate nature putseven her most nervous patientsat ease.

They are humbled by thepositive feedback received sofar and attribute a large part oftheir success to the amazingteamwork from dental assis-tants Desleigh and Tess, whowere there right from the startand have proven to be irre-placeable.
