Dr Raymond Khong

Dentists Hobart welcomes Dr Raymond Khong in Diamond Creek, for all their latest dental treatments and techniques, given gently by their caring team of dentists.

Dr Raymond Khong (principal dentist) Dr Raymond Khong has been providing excellent dental care in the area for over 25 years and is well respected in the industry as he is also a clinical consultant at the University of Melbourne Dental School. He is also the chief co-ordinator of Fundacion de Caridas de Peru, which is a non-government organisation which provides free dental care to rural children in Peru. He has also done volunteer work in Cambodia. Many will know Raymond as The Singing Dentist as he is also a renowned performer, and has toured nationally for the past 15 years with various opera companies and cabaret troupes. Raymond graduated in 1994 from the University of Melbourne and has worked in his current clinic since then, first as an employed dentist to owning the clinic now. Driven by the dedicated staff members, Diamond Creek Dental grew from a small part-time practice to the well-respected busy full-time practice here today. He is assisted by a highly skilled dentist with a passion for excellence in the dental field, Dr Nancy Henein. Raymond has four children from ages three to ten. He loves treating children in his clinic and they seem to be quite comfortable with his approach. It is always a joy to see these children from year to year and watching them develop. Music & singing Raymond’s passion outside of dentistry is music-or more precisely, singing. Raymond is trained operatic tenor and has sung with the Australian Opera, the Victoria State Opera and various local opera companies. In 2003 he was nominated for a Green Room Award for Best Singer in a Principal Role for his stirring performance in Chamber Made Opera’s worldwide premiere of The Possessed, an original Australian opera. (Review in The Age). Though trained in opera, Raymond is known for his talent as a “crossover artist”, singing in variety of styles from opera to musicals to modern ballads. These days he is in demand on the concert and cabaret circuits, after establishing a name for himself over the last nine years in touring shows. He has written a few shows himself which enjoyed successful runs. Raymond has released two CDs to date and is gearing up for his third. In 2004 “Voices for Hope” was released (now sold out and only available on special order) and then in 2009 “Voyage”, both on the MOVE label.
