OUR TEAM
Rachel Farrar
Orthodontist
Having worked in numerous practices over the years, I am incredibly excited to be opening my own in Pāpāmoa, Tauranga! We’ve worked hard to develop a site that I’m confident our staff will love working in, and our patients will love visiting. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to specialise in orthodontics, as I love problem solving and thinking outside the box to find the best solution for every case. It’s incredibly rewarding seeing people of all ages smiling wider and with more confidence as their orthodontic journey progresses.
Our specialist orthodontist Rachel Farrar is supported by qualified and experienced support staff.
Belinda Coyle
Office Manager
I have lived in Papamoa for 32 years and been in the dental industry for most of that time. I love getting to know patients and their families. I am married to John, and our daughter Georgia is currently at university in Christchurch. We have an old black lab named Jack and a fat cat, Lola. I enjoy making the most of the great lifestyle we have here in the Bay. Going on walks, fishing and pilates are a few of my favourite things to do.

I look forward to meeting you and helping to ensure that coming to the dentist is a great experience for you and your family. I moved to the Bay with my husband and two boys 15 years ago. When I’m not working, I enjoy time at the lake with family and friends, wakeboarding, running, cycling and hanging on the beach with my pooches Rooby and Annie.

I have always had a keen interest in the orthodontic industry and am very excited to be part of the team. With over two years experience I am always striving to develop professionally, and bring a can-do attitude along with a cheeky smile and lots of laughter to work every day.
Having had braces myself I know the journey first-hand. I’m a real local Papamoa girl, having lived here for over twenty years.
Outside of the clinic you’ll find me down at the beach or skipping winter to chase the sun in Rarotonga with my partner, a cheeky cocktail in hand, chasing after our son.
