Dr Ali
Ali has always been proud to call the mighty Waikato, home. Having started WOC in 2012, it has now grown to become one of the Waikato’s busiest and most popular specialist orthodontic clinics. Ali prides himself in providing state of the art orthodontic treatment utilising the most up-to-date scientific literature and techniques in a professional, efficient and honest manner. Ali aimed to create a friendly enjoyable environment for all clients coming to the WOC, which is why today, our main source of referrals is through word of mouth from satisfied clients.
​
As well as his passion for orthodontics, Ali is a big sports fan as well as a busy family man. Most of his time outside of clinic is now dedicated to his wife and 3 little girls.
Dr Reggie
Originally from Suva, Fiji, Reggie completed his under-graduate training in dentistry at the Fiji School of Medicine, during which he received several academic awards and was the college valedictorian. Following this, he worked as an academic at the Fiji National University and as a general dentist in private practice.
He then moved to Dunedin and undertook a three-year full-time specialist postgraduate orthodontic training, graduating with a Doctorate in Clinical Dentistry from the University of Otago.
Reggie’s passion for orthodontics stems from his desire to improve the dental health and quality of life of patients and says that seeing the impact improving smiles has on patients makes it a truly rewarding career. He focuses on honing the skills from his doctorate training to deliver clinical excellence through an evidence-based practice which is up to date with current literature and techniques.
Outside work, Reggie loves the outdoors, is a sports fanatic, car and motorcycle enthusiast, loves music and enjoys spending time with his wife, friends and family.
Jess
Jess officially joined the WOC family in June 2013. As a busy mother of three girls, Jess has honed her exceptional organizational and interpersonal skills, along with her remarkable efficiency and quick-learning abilities.
Her contributions are evident to everyone who visits WOC, as she is the cornerstone that ensures the smooth and efficient operation of our practice.
​
In addition to her role as the practice treatment coordinator, Jess has successfully completed the New Zealand Dental Association’s Dental Assisting course.
​
Jess is a valuable asset to our WOC family, and we look forward to many more years of growth together, creating beautiful smiles throughout the Waikato.
Joan
Our Orthodontic Auxiliary plays a crucial role in assisting the orthodontist during patient treatments.
Joan, now a qualified orthodontic auxiliary, also brings her extensive experience as a dentist from her native Philippines to provide optimal care for our patients.

Joan joined our team in 2015 and has experience in both the administrative and clinical sides of orthodontics, making her a perfect fit for our team.
