Hi there, I’m Georgie. I have been working in practice management for the last 3 and a half years and recently made the big move to join The Good Dentist team. I love catching up with friends, heading to gigs, snapping film photos and enjoying all the gems that Newy has to offer. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a supportive, positive and fun environment to work in and look forward to welcoming all of our lovely patients into the practice.
Quick Q&A With Georgie Haynes – Practice Manager
What is the most satisfying part of the job?
Working with such a caring, funny and supportive team in a beautiful practice in a great part of town. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of The Good Dentist team.
What are the challenges?
Using self control not to order the delicious food options on Darby St for lunch everyday.
What’s your best tip for oral hygiene?
I didn’t know how much I needed a tongue scraper until the first time I used one. I’ll never go back.

I’m sure in an alternative universe I pursued something creative like floristry.

Dog

Lips of an Angel by Hinder (cringey but gets the crowd going)

Trek through a few of the US National Parks on a road trip.
