Dr Rachel Ocampo

Dr Rachel Ocampo graduated Doctor of Dental Medicine in the Philippines in 1997. She then owned her private dental clinic for 11 years, practising general dentistry and specialising in orthodontics, crowns, and bridge and surgical extraction. Her great desire for continuous training and further education encouraged her to relocate to Australia and took the Australian Dental Council Examination and has been a member of the Australian Dental Association since 2015.

Advancement of technology in dentistry progresses in such a rapid rate that Dr. Ocampo believes in continuously educating herself to stay abreast with the latest, and in regularly up-skilling herself even in her early days in the Philippines she has attended special studies and scientific seminars. In Australia, she took the Basic MIS Implantology Course, then later the Advanced MIS Implantology Course.

Dr. Ocampo is also certified with ClearCorrect clear aligners, a method of straightening teeth invisibly without metal braces.

Dr. Ocampo was also a Registered Nurse obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and passed the Philippine Nursing Licensure Exam in 2006, the NCLEX California Board of Registered Nurses in 2007, and her Australian Registration Bridging program for Registered Nurses in 2008. She worked as an Operating Theatre Nurse at Hollywood Private Hospital for 8 years while preparing for the Australian Dental Council Examination. She assisted in major surgeries in several oral and maxillofacial surgeries both elective and emergency trauma cases and simple dental procedures done under general anesthesia for both well, medically compromised and handicapped patients. This job has developed her adaptability to various patients with simple to complex medical issues. This has developed her communication skills as well. She is used to delivering therapeutic communication for well, seriously ill, anxious, defiant and incorrigible patients coming from different cultures and creating care plans for each patient. The caring and compassionate qualities of a nurse have carried over to her dental practice.
