Nina
Clinical Co-ordinator

Hi, I’m Nina! I am a Clinical Coordinator and Treatment Coordinator at here at GSO. If you don’t catch me at your first visit with us when I’m acting as Treatment Coordinator, I will get to meet you in the clinic assisting Dr Southall, Dr Clare and our friendly OHT’s. I also have the pleasure of meeting new patients as a treatment coordinator and introducing you to our wonderful clinic and its staff! Fun little fact about me, I started with GSO as a patient! I loved the team so much, I just wanted to join in with all the fun.


Jess Marchant
Technology Co-ordinator

Ahoy Me Harties!!! I joined the team at Greater Springfield Orthodontics in early 2021, after completing the placement hours for my Certificate III in Dental Assisting here. Since joining I have completed my Certificate IV in Dental Radiography. I was born and bred here in the western suburbs of Brisbane but had a short college period in South Carolina on a soccer scholarship, before returning to Australia. I care about your smile and making sure our patients are number one is my priority.


Bree
Clinical Co-ordinator

Hey! My name is Bree and I am a dental assistant at Greater Springfield Orthodontics.

You will typically find me assisting Dr Clare, Dr Southall and the hygienists. My favourite part about my job is seeing patients achieve their outcomes. I can’t wait to meet you and see you reach your treatment goals!


Dogtor Douglas
Therapy Dog

Being a golden retriever Doug is a beautiful natured dog who loves nothing more than to cuddle up next to our patients (and parents!). He’s here to help with anxious patients but will gladly receive attention from anyone who’s around. Doug is often found having a nap either in the office or in the clinic. After work Doug goes home with Dr Clare. He has a busy social life, which you can follow on his very own Instagram account @dogtordouglas. Our dogtor enjoys chicken treats, the beach and playing with his friends. Much to Dr Clare’s dismay, Doug does not like the car and insists on being picked up to get in and out of the boot.

Excellent service from the very first consultation. No hidden costs or surprises, we opted for the Sure Smile which gave my daughter fantastic results in only 12 months. Friendly and professional staff, flexible appointments that fit around school hours. Highly recommended.

Really inpatient, if you are 5 minutes late and you will be rescheduled to 2 months’ later date. Worst service ever.

Highly recommend. From my son's first consultation a few years ago with Dr Southall to getting braces with Dr Clare and the continued care with Sharyn, the process has been easy, well explained, and made affordable for us. The whole team at GSO has been great to deal with.

I would like to give a very BIG thank you to Dr Natasha Clare and the rest of the amazing staff. I highly recommend Greater Springfield Orthodontics, especially for adult braces. My braces were barely visible & just took 17 months to give me the smile I wanted! The whole process was seamless and very easy going, to my surprise. The Suresmile Technology was great! The kind reception staff were very flexible with my schedule & I was never afraid to ask questions and raise any queries. The whole team was just outstanding.Thank you! 5 stars.
