McClea & Green Dental was previously known as John Heenan Dental Care. John Heenan is enjoying his well-earnt retirement after many rewarding years of dentistry. The new owners, Phillip McClea and Hannah Green, are both dentists, who have recently relocated from Timaru.
Phillip and Hannah are a husband-and-wife team, who have been practicing for ten years around New Zealand. They both have family ties, and dental history in Dunedin, so are delighted to be able to return and settle here.
“We think Dunedin is a fantastic city, and are looking forward to enjoying all it has to offer, raising our daughter here, and building new relationships with our patients”.
Hannah is born and bred Dunedin. In fact, her grandfather had his own dental practice in Dunedin for several years. She studied here at the University of Otago, firstly completing a Bachelor of Science, before discovering dentistry and graduating with Distinction in 2010. She has worked as a hospital dentist in Dunedin, and in private practices in Levin and Timaru.
Hannah enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, but particularly root canals and oral surgery. Hannah is a member of the New Zealand Dental Association, and has completed further study to become a member of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons.
Having been voted “Least likely to leave Dunedin” at graduation, Hannah has proved them all right, and is excited about returning home after 10 years away. “I love meeting a wide variety of patients, and working out the best treatment for them. I’m so looking forward to discovering Dunedin again, and raising our daughter here.”
Phillip is originally from Tauranga, but his family were initially based in Dunedin, with his Mum and Dad also meeting at Dental School. He studied Dentistry at the University of Otago, graduating with distinction in 2010.
