Dr Joceline Nugroho

Joceline graduated from the University of Sydney’s Doctor of Dental Medicine programe after completing her Bachelor of Science (Microbiology) and Bachelor of Arts (Asian Studies) from the same university. Her years in the big smoke amongst the hustle and bustle of Sydney’s notorious work-focused culture was what spurred her to explore working in a country practice such as in beautiful Geraldton. While she enjoys a wide range of dentistry, Joceline has a special interest in paediatrics. She was fortunate enough to have grown up with supportive and engaging dentists. The compassion and empathy she experienced in the clinic inspired her to pursue the same career in the hopes that she could also bring a measure of comfort and ease to nervous patients. She is also a firm believer in establishing healthy oral habits and positive dental experiences from an early age. As a result, she isn’t afraid of pulling up her (limited) Bluey and other child-friendly references to get children excited for their visits. Inspired by her childhood spent living abroad, Joceline enjoys travelling and exploring new places in her spare time. Additionally, you can also find her at home furiously reading to try and finally accomplish her reading goal of 100 books a year (don’t ask her about what she’s reading she can’t remember). Alternatively, she also enjoys spending time exploring Geraldton’s food scene, skilling up her cooking skills, and facetiming her family dog back in Perth.
