Friendly & Professional Team of Dental Staff in Kareela

Dr Angel Halim

I am a Sydney University graduate who has been working in a private practice setting since 2010. My ambition is to provide a service to patients where they will walk out the door happier than when they walked in. 

As a dentist, my patient’s wellbeing is my number one priority. I always try to provide them with the best quality of care. I believe prevention is always better than cure, therefore I like to be conservative where possible, also at the same time proactive when needed.

I love creating a positive first dentist visit for the little ones. I also find great joy in converting anxious patients hating the dentist into patients that are excited to see the dentist. I am here to help. I am meticulous when it comes to my restorative, endodontic and prosthodontic clinical work, as I would want my own dentist to be when performing treatment on me.

Outside of dentistry, I am a mother to two little girls and a cat. Pre-kids, I enjoyed the adrenaline rush with bungy jumping, sky diving, canyoning, abseiling and numerous other random physical challenges. Now, I am very fortunate to still be able to fit in a couple of hours a week for exercise. However, the simple life with family and friends are even more so cherished. 

Dr Irina Nurkic received her dental education at Sydney University (graduating with Honours in 2008).

Irina joined the team at Kareela Dental Surgery in 2019 and is a gentle and enthusiastic dentist who is passionate about providing complete dental health. She enjoys working closely with her patients to ensure they improve their oral health as well as their overall health.

Irina loves all areas of dentistry and helping and treating people of all ages in our vibrant surgery. Having two of her own small children at home, Irina is experienced with treating children and taking care of their needs in a gentle and fun way.

Irina maintains her professional development at any possible opportunity in order to enhance her extensive knowledge and remain abreast of the latest dental techniques and technology in the dental field.

Outside of the practice, Irina is kept busy with her little family. She enjoys yoga, reading and travelling.
