Dentist

BOHDSc, GradDipDent
Griffith University

Dr Daniel Hu was born and raised in Brisbane. Dr Daniel grew up on the south side of Brisbane and attended Brisbane State High School. Following that, he lived on the Gold Coast for 5 years whilst completing his degree in Dentistry at Griffith University Gold Coast Campus. He has a gentle and conservative approach, always putting his patients first and looks after their needs. His calming nature means he is able to help nervous and anxious patients out by putting them at ease. On top of general dentistry and dental needs, he has special interest in Orthodontics and Dental Implants.

Daniel is fluent in Mandarin and Japanese and is laser accredited.

Outside of the surgery, he is also a Group Fitness Instructor teaching Group Fitness Classes at various gyms. Perhaps you'll catch him at the gym in one of his classes! He also supervises dental students at the Griffith University Dental Clinic on the Gold Coast once a week. This is his way of giving back.

In his spare time, he enjoys reading, playing computer games, and spending quality time with his two corgis. Who wouldn't like to spend time with fluffy furry corgis with short legs right?

BDSc
University of Queensland

Rui (Ree) has wanted to be a dentist for as long as she remembers. In 2006 she graduated as a dentist at the University of Queensland. With over 10 years of experience, Rui is a caring, dedicated and compassionate dentist. She doesn't believe anything is complicated; there is always a simple solution.

Rui enjoys all aspects of dentistry, particularly restorative and cosmetic dentistry. With the knowledge that poor oral health can affect a person's general health, preventative dentistry is an integral part of her practice; we all know the old saying 'prevention is better than cure'.

Rui has recently completed a 2 year orthodontic course to gain more understanding in teeth movements. Having 2 young children, she wanted more knowledge in identifying malocclusions (incorrect bites/positions) and when it is appropriate for early interceptive treatments. Rui's goal for the future is furthering her education on children's dentistry, airway health and cosmetic dentistry. She is currently working on obtaining her LA&HA Masters in Laser Dentistry.

When she is not a dentist, Rui is running around after her young primary school children. Being a mother is definitely harder than being a dentist.

Rui speaks Mandarin and is laser accredited.
