Dentists

Dr Paul Hickey

In 1982, Dr Paul Hickey kicked off his career in dentistry by graduating with honours from the University of Queensland. Since then, Dr Hickey has worked in private practice in both Australia and the UK and has even worked as a lecturer in oral pathology at the University of Queensland.

Dr Hickey later settled into private practice in The Gap and has been caring for the community’s oral health needs since 1989. For over a decade, he’s had a keen interest in orthodontics and implant dentistry, completing extensive post-graduate training programs in both. He is a long-time member of the Australian Society of Implant Dentistry and is also interested in crowns bridges, and porcelain veneers.

Along with his broad experience and long history as a dental professional, Dr Hickey is well-known for his warm approach and his ability to put the most nervous of patients at ease.

Dr Seori Kim

After graduating from the University of Melbourne, Seori has been practicing in various locations including regional Victoria and Far North Queensland before making her move to Brisbane.

Seori is passionate about achieving optimal oral health for all her patients, with a particular interest in general restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

When she is not in the dental surgery, she enjoys grooming and training her two fur babies, CoCo and Chi.

Dr Fozia Yaqoob

Dr Fozia Yaqoob graduated from the University of Birmingham School of Dentistry (UK) in 2002. She arrived in Australia in 2015, along with her husband and young children, and has been practising as an Associate Dentist since then. She has also worked as a Clinical Dental Supervisor at the University of Queensland.

Dr Fozia values continuing education and routinely attends courses to help expand her dental skills and knowledge. She has a keen interest in laser dentistry, digital design and airway-focused dentistry.

Dr Fozia employs a gentle, empathic manner to help understand the needs of her patients. And she follows a ‘complete’ approach to oral health — one that considers a range of factors including sleep, nutrition and general lifestyle.

Dr Fozia has volunteered for the Brisbane Youth Service to help provide dental care to disadvantaged youth. She has also participated in the Bridge to Brisbane run to raise money for charity. In her spare time, she plays guitar and has started writing her own songs. She also has a pet bearded dragon, Ziggy, who has very sharp teeth!
