Dr Keith Doonan

In his spare time, he is involved in short films, stand up comedy and theatre and has an enthusiastic, engaging and interactive approach to dentistry.
Dr Zheng
Zheng graduated from The University of Queensland with Honours Bachelor of Dental Science (Honours) in 2017.
Zheng means bright in Chinese and she certainly is a joy to have around. She loves treating patients of all ages and her caring and gentle disposition is especially great with younger children. Zheng aims to make your visit a pleasant and positive experience, even for the most anxious patients.
In her spare time, Zheng enjoys netball, tennis and rock climbing. She always enjoys being outdoors and has fallen in love with the plentiful camping and hiking opportunities the great outback has to offer. She has also done volunteer work at the Tzu-Chi charity dental clinic for a week at a time over a couple of years.
Zheng’s love of food cannot be ignored and she enjoys trying different cuisines. You can catch her sneaking a naughty treat (mm those delightful éclairs) at the local Maleny bakery.
