Yarra Junction Dental Surgery welcomes Dr Luke Emery



Dr Stewart Gin is pleased to announce the addition of his good friend Dr Luke Emery to the Yarra Junction Dental Surgery team.

Dr Emery has been servicing the Lilydale, Chirnside Park and surrounding areas for over 35 years, and has a reputation for providing honest, caring and compassionate dentistry, the fundamental principles of the Yarra Junction Dental clinic.

He is well experienced in all facets of dentistry, having completed his Bachelor of Dental Science at the University of Melbourne in 1986. He has worked at a number of different practices in Melbourne’s Eastern suburbs, before becoming a practice co-owner in 1994 (with Dr Tim Deen) and full practice owner in 2013.

Dr Emery has recently left the practice after selling it earlier this year. He has graciously agreed to join the Yarra Junction Dental team after Dr Gin has been forced to retire due to injury and ill-health. Dr Gin, however, will still be available for a chat!

Dr Emery joins a team of five other dentists and seven qualified supporting staff (nurses/receptionists), most of whom have worked there for a long time – a good sign of a happy, positive working environment!

Dr Gin has owned the clinic since 1993 and has always prided himself on maintaining it as a family-friendly general practice. He has been caring for the community for decades, having treated four generations of some families, and considers this to have been both a privilege and an honour. Having Dr Emery on board will ensure the philosophies of the clinic will continue for years to come.

Dr Gin has future plans to expand the opening hours of the practice to include Saturdays and perhaps a late night or two.

Yarra Junction Dental Surgery is located at 1 Hoddle Street, Yarra Junction Victoria 3797. For appointments, please call 03 5967 2202. New patients are welcomed.
