His commitment to staying at the forefront of the profession is evident through frequent conferences and ongoing education with a focus on minimally invasive, cosmetic and restorative dentistry.

He received the Griffith University Award for Academic Excellence for 5 consecutive years and was awarded the School of Medicine and Dentistry’s Dean of Dentistry medal for graduating in the top 5% of his class.

He enjoys having a good laugh with his patients and values the individual connections he gets to form with each of his patients. Richie takes pride in his gentle, relaxed nature and has frequently received compliments from patients who have had bad or traumatic experiences at the dentist.
Outside of dentistry, Richie loves to keep active by working out at the gym, belting out his favourite tunes (in and out of the shower), reading self-development books or watching a good Netflix series. He also enjoys good food and is always looking for recommendations on the best eateries around!
