Dr Robert McDonald

Cairns Dentist welcomes Dr Robert McDonald in Gympie, for all their latest dental treatments and techniques, given gently by their caring team of dentists.

Dr Bob McDonald graduated from Sydney University in 1972. His first placement was working as a school dentist in rural NSW for two years. After this time he then moved on to Broken Hill where he worked with the Royal Flying Doctors service for 3 years. Looking for a new adventure Bob moved across the world to England, to work in the National Health Service for a few years. Enjoying his overseas experience he then moved on to Berlin to work with the US army before returning home to Australia to open his own dental practice. Bondi Junction, Sydney was the location for his first practice before moving to a rural setting in Gundagai, NSW. Bob has since sold his private practice in Gundagai, however still visits regularly throughout the year to see patients. In 2013 Bob’s interest in opening a Gympie dental practice became reality with the opening of Calton Hill Dental in March. Enjoying Gympie and aware of the large amount of families living in the Gympie area, Bob has decided to expand and open a second practice on Gympie’s Southside that focuses on kids dental treatment. Bob is passionate about encompassing a holistic approach that includes Functional Dentistry, with an emphasis on preventative and corrective dentistry in children.
