Dr Karrona (or Rona as she is known by) was born in the USA before moving to sunny Queensland as a teenager. It was in Queensland that Rona studied Biomedical Science and finished her Honors degree at The University of Queensland, before spending some time in research. Rona decided it was time for a career change, and found herself drawn to the many fascinating areas of dentistry.
After graduating from Griffith University on the Gold Coast, Rona packed her bags to work in a highly regarded dental practice in Bunbury, WA for several years. Rona has since gotten married, had 2 beautiful boys and moved to Ballarat to be closer to family and friends.
Rona understands how anxious and nervous some patients may feel about going to to the dentist, which is why she endeavors to make patients feel as welcomed, informed and comfortable as possible. She enjoys meeting people from all walks of life, as well as providing high quality general dentistry to adults and kids alike. Rona is friendly and gentle in nature. She really enjoys getting to know her patients and their families, and especially loves getting to watch her young patients grow up.
On her days off, she is busy chasing after her even busier toddlers and having little adventures with her family. Rona absolutely loves living in Ballarat and is enjoying raising her young family here. She is a footy fanatic and barracks for the West Coast Eagles. If you see blue and yellow around town, it’s most likely the Stewart family!
