Our Dentist – Dr Trevor Baret

Trevor has been in private practice since ….. well, lets just say he has lots of experience – his staff is always keen to remind him of his age.

During those (many) years, Trevor has been actively involved in continuing education and the practice of high quality dentistry. He is forever running off to
go to another seminar or conference. Although he swears that it is to learn more, Peta and Emma reckon that he already knows enough, and that he is just using the education as an excuse for a break away from the surgery (or show off by giving them too much useless information).

Computers are not his friend. If the suppliers and manufacturers would put together a good product that actually did as it is intended, then there would be no problem, but there are constant ongoing difficulties with the running of systems both in the office, and at home.

Peta says that Trevor is cursed, then makes him think twice about buying the latest whiz-bang dental technology, which will only cause him grief! Trevor knows who’s boss around here, and she is often right (but not always).

At Our Reception – Peta

Peta has been working with Dr Baret since August 1997 as his office manager.

Wanting to get more involved in the practice, she has had specialised training in computerised joint and muscle analysis. As a result, Peta is the only non-dentist
in Australia certified to use the “Biopak”.

She is single….. and fabulous! Likes rollerblading, shopping, eating and going to the gym. Keeping herself in shape is very important.. Peta knows that no man
will want her if she’s a porker.

Over the years, Peta has come to realise, even with her extensive customer service and people skills, she still can’t cope when a patient cancels an appointment 1 hour before their appointment time. Where is the R E S P E C T, she asks!! Meanwhile, she is in therapy.

Overlooking that, Peta loves her patients (especially the ones that bring food, flowers and gifts) and will do anything to make them feel comfortable in the practice.

In The Operatory - Emma

Also known as "Imma"

"Imma" hails from across the Tasman - the South Island of New Zealand.
Although she has tried hard, she still has not managed to lose the accent.

You will always be greeted by her smiling face. She is always ready for a chat and
she will even hold your hand if you need some reassuring. Emma keeps the operatory in tip-top shape. Her friendly smile helps keep up the cheerful atmosphere around the office, and she is always good for a laugh, even at the most inappropriate times!

Try seeing if you can make her blush... it's not that hard...

...and as soon as she feels her face reddening, she becomes embarrassed and blushes even more.
