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.
Paige Bright
Orthodontic Dental Assistant
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.
Natasha Brommer
Dental Assistant
I moved to Tara Rd Dental/Papamoa Orthodontist after a year in the dental industry as an assistant, and now looking to take on the challenge of a more multi-faceted role. I find the dental industry to be incredibly rewarding, and I always hope to help people overcome any fears they may have.Outside of work I spend a lot of time with my family, especially my young niece and nephews. I have many creative hobbies such as sewing and other crafts, I also love baking treats like cookies, slices, and scones.
Heidi Goodman
Dental Assistant
I have been a dental assistant since 2022, and feel very lucky to have joined such a beautiful practice with an amazing team. I grew up in Whakatane and moved over to Tauranga by myself 3 years ago. I love my job and am very passionate about the industry. Ever since having braces at age 14 I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in dental. I was very excited to have completed my NZDA qualification last year. When I’m not at work, I love staying fit by going to the gym and running. I also love catching up with friends over coffee or slushy margaritas, my favourite spots are down and around the Mount.
