🦷 We're delighted to welcome Dr Jessie Cummins to Hobart Day Surgery.

As Tasmania's first private Specialist in Special Needs Dentistry, Dr Cummins is helping to improve access to dental care for people with additional needs, including those with physical and intellectual disabilities, neurodivergence, and complex medical conditions.

After completing her specialist training in Adelaide, Dr Cummins returned home to Hobart with a vision to bridge an important gap in care for Tasmanians. Through our partnership with Hobart Special Care Dental, patients who require treatment under general anaesthetic can now access specialist dental care in a safe, supportive environment.

Dr Cummins and her husband, Dr Michael McCarthy, work closely together to provide compassionate, high-quality care, ensuring every patient feels supported throughout their treatment journey.

This partnership reflects Hobart Day Surgery's ongoing commitment to expanding access to specialist healthcare services and delivering the best possible care for our local community.

Please join us in welcoming Dr Jessie Cummins to the Hobart Day Surgery team. We look forward to supporting her in making a real difference to the lives of Tasmanians. 💚
