A Strong Clinical and Educational Foundation

Before becoming a dentist, Dr. Gopathy completed a Bachelor of Pharmacy (Hons) at Monash University and worked as a pharmacist at the Royal Women’s Hospital. She later pursued her true calling, earning her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Sydney. Her clinical training includes experience at both the Sydney Dental Hospital and the Westmead Centre for Oral Health.

Dr. Gopathy is actively involved in shaping the future of dentistry. She has served on the Australian Dental Association’s Public Dentistry Committee for several years and mentors dental students at the University of Melbourne and La Trobe University.

Giving Back Globally

Dr. Gopathy’s compassion extends beyond her local community.
