Following his graduation at the University of Sydney, Dr Rooke worked for a local dental practice and quickly realised that the orthodontist he was referring patients to had the opportunity to build rewarding patient relationships and work collaboratively with colleagues for the best patient outcomes.

A career aspiration was born and after a year working in the UK in a facial surgical unit, he returned to Australia to commence a three year orthodontic training program with the University of Queensland.

Now an experienced orthodontist, joining the team at Melbourne Orthodontic Group was a welcome opportunity to move back to his home town, and closer to family and friends. A keen sportsman – Dr Rooke has a penchant for any sports involving running around a field.

Dr Rose obtained his dental degree in 1993 and after eight years in general practice, completed his specialist orthodontic degree at the University of Melbourne. He also held a teaching role at the University and gives the odd lecture from time-to-time.

While working at the Royal Children's Hospital he was able to help many children with some very challenging conditions. He joined the Melbourne Orthodontic Group in 2002.

Dr Rose is a footy fanatic and longs for the day he and his sons have the opportunity to watch Carlton win the flag. He also enjoys jogging, working out in the gym and playing squash.

JP graduated from the University of Manchester in the UK with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree and practiced general dentistry for 16 years. After completion of the Primary examinations at the Royal Australian College of Dental Surgeons in 2013, he was keen to pursue his long-term ambition of becoming an orthodontist. He then undertook 3 years of full-time specialist orthodontic training; completing the Doctor of Clinical Dentistry degree at the University of Melbourne.

What satisfies JP the most about orthodontics, is the huge improvement in his patients self-esteem as a result of orthodontic treatment.
