Dr Andrew Quick
Andrew grew up in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and following A-levels at CBC college, completed his undergraduate dental training at Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, in 1990. A post-qualification scholarship from the Medical Research Institute provided opportunity to work on fibroplastic diseases of the mouth, and at the same time obtain an Honours degree in Medical Sciences (Biochemistry). After lecturing in the department of Medical Physiology for two and a half years, he undertook his postgraduate training in orthodontics, completing it in 1998 with distinction. Further time was spent lecturing in the orthodontic department, as well as in private practice before taking up a senior lecturer position at the University of Otago. He obtained his Membership in Orthodontics, Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh in 2004, and completed his PhD at Otago in 2017. Andrew is in full time practice at Hamilton Orthodontics, together with Catherine Carleton and Mark Ewing. In his spare time he can be found in his shed either tinkering with live steam model engineering, or working on his 1931 Austin vintage car.
