This International Women’s Day, March 8 2025, we celebrate the all-female team at Valley Dental Family Clinic who embody this year’s ‘March Forward’ theme through their dedication to healthcare excellence and innovation.
Led by Dr Rupali Prabhu and Dr Sonali Prabhu alongside Dr Mehraz, these accomplished professionals have combined decades of experience in providing compassionate dental care to the Lilydale community.
Dr Rupali, who graduated in 1999, has extensive experience across private and public settings, including rural Victoria.
“Being an all-female team, patients are treated with care and compassion,” she said.
“Our staff are very approachable, making everyone feel at ease coming to the dentist.”
Dr Sonali, a 2003 graduate, believes ‘your mouth is the gateway to better wellbeing’ and particularly enjoys working with older clients.
Meanwhile, Dr Mehraz, who joined two years ago, is advancing her expertise with a certificate in Cosmetic Dentistry to introduce new aesthetic services.
Together, these women march forward professionally while maintaining a patient-centred approach that transforms the traditional dental experience. Their comprehensive services range from general dentistry to aesthetic procedures, demonstrating that when women lead in healthcare, communities benefit from both innovation and compassion.
