O'REILLY DENTAL CLINIC TEAM

Graduating from Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2001, Dr O'Reilly came to Australia on a working holiday in 2004. His first stop was Rockhampton, before travelling north to Cairns, then south through NSW.

The friendly people of Rocky and the wonderful Queensland sunshine were enough to entice him back. Columb continues to pursue his interest in all aspects of dentistry and regularly completes a number of courses each year.

In his spare time, Columb likes to spend time with his family and have an occasional round of golf.

Pei Jia (PJ) received her Bachelor of Dental Surgery from University of Dundee in United Kingdom in 2019. She worked in Scotland for a few years before moving to Australia.

PJ takes interest in oral surgery and restorative dentistry with a focus on preventative dentistry. She practices with a gentle and compassionate demeanour with the aim of making each patient visit as comfortable as possible. She is passionate about continuing education and frequently attends training courses.

Out of work, PJ regularly attends Pilates and pottery classes. She enjoys travelling and discovering new restaurants or cafes.

Kobi moved from Victoria to study Bachelor of Oral Health Therapy with Charles Sturt University in NSW. After graduating in 2018 she worked in both public and private clinics before making the move north to Rockhampton.

Kobi is dual trained in dental hygiene and dental therapy with a specific focus on improving and maintaining the oral health of patients of all ages.

In her spare time, Kobi enjoys spending time at the beach with her husband and 2 border collies. Or when the weather is perfect they’ll be over at Keppel snorkeling or fishing.
