Herries St Dental was founded in 2010 by beloved local dentist Dr Michael Wilsen. Michael’s vision was to establish a practice where people from all walks of life could obtain good quality dentistry at a reasonable price. This included more complex dentistry such as implants and orthodontics.
He believed in the philosophy of treating every patient like a cherished member of his family and treating his staff with respect and care. With this worthy ethos, the practice grew and Herries St has been a trusted workplace for quite a few like-minded experienced dentists over the years.
In 2021, Dr Steven Humphery and Dr Gina Irwin purchased the practice from Dr Wilsen when he decided to retire from dentistry. Interestingly, Gina and Steven already had a connection – they both grew up in the small town of Chinchilla, 2 hours west of Toowoomba and attended Chinchilla State High School approximately 6 years apart!
Chinchilla is a small place so their families are friends as well. This relationship has formed a solid foundation of trust. They share similar values, priorities and treatment philosophy which makes for a harmonious and dynamic workplace.
At Herries St Dental we believe in treating every patient with kindness, respect, care and the thoughtful and thorough consideration they deserve. We recognise that each individual has unique needs and requirements, including physical, social and emotional considerations.
Our shared long-term goal is to help our patients and their families to maintain good oral and dental health and wherever possible use our experience to guide, educate and advise them to prevent future pain and problems. We aim to provide consistently great service.
We appreciate our loyal patients who share our values, put their trust in us and will do all we can to serve them to the best of our ability. We strive to provide good quality dentistry, consistent and long lasting results and also to do all we can to be there for our patients in times of emergency.
We also believe in a workplace where all the staff are treated well, given opportunities to shine and be paid fairly. Our aim is for all staff to feel valued, respected and appreciated by both the management, co-workers and our patients. We aim for our staff to feel fulfilled and happy at work and urge them to seek to continually learn, improve and develop new skills, for the betterment of the practice and themselves.
