Matthew was born and raised on the Sunshine Coast. Having completed his high school education in 1999, he went on to graduate from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Pharmacy with Class 1 Honours in 2004, and was awarded the prestigious UQ medal for academic excellence.
With a desire to expand his role in the provision of primary healthcare, Matthew completed his Dentistry degree at Griffith University on the Gold Coast and has since been practicing at a private clinic in Ipswich.
Matthew enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, and his philosophy is to provide individually-tailored dental treatments in order to optimise the oral health of all his patients. Matthew understands that dental therapy can often be uncomfortable, however his kind and caring nature often helps his patients alleviate their fears of treatment.
Matthew also speaks Cantonese as a second language, and his interests include fine foods and travelling.
