DR TIM JOHNSTON
Practice Principal
Who I am
I’m a dad of three kids who are growing up quickly. I’ve been to university twice, became a specialist paediatric dentist, got a few fellowships and now am the proud head of a great team at iKids PDC. Why see kids? Well it just was meant to be. I can work with kids and sort of understand them. I’m a bit of a big kid myself.
What I do
My job at iKids is the doing bit. Seeing, identifying, fixing and healing. My team is the engine though, doing the organisation bits and then ensuring the kids don’t need what I do again. I guess I have the easy bit and I love it, the Team do the hard work but please don’t tell them.
What I like
Yes actually I do like my job… and boats and the music of the Beach Boys.
What I love
Water. My playtime is spent on, in or under the water. Not enough of it but that will come one day. I also love that ‘end of the day’ feeling you get, just as the sun goes down and the birds sing louder.
What I wanted to be when i grew up
I started at uni to become a marine biologist. I’m not really sure how I ended up as a kid’s dentist but I’m happy I did. Fitting that my Practice is close to the beach though.
