Dr Ian Maratos is The Snore Fix Doctor

Who is The Snore Fix Doctor?

Dr Ian Maratos; BDSc (Melb) FDSM (Aust) LVI Fellow, Fellow of Dental Sleep Medicine (Australasian Sleep Association). ADA, AADSM, IAPA (USA), AASM, ASA, IAO, was quite sports obsessed when he attended Brighton Grammar School (Firsts in Tennis & Drama Captain/ Prefect) and when he graduated from Melbourne University in 1984, he was still playing competitive tennis and squash. (Although Dr Maratos admits running isn't on the agenda anymore!

As a teen, (when he had long red hair, yes, he was a ‘Ranga’!! ), Ian spent a year on exchange in Japan, at the prestigious Yamate College in Yokohama.

A bit of quirky background info....

Dr Ian’s mother was a fully trained Opera Singer, his father, a leading Civil Engineer on the iconic Snowy Mountains Hydro Project who studied and graduated from RMIT– quite a personality combination to say the least, but a really happy match for over 50 years.

We thought we'd mention some curious facts - it’s only fair, as we'll learn things about you too, because we want to treat you as a person, not just an appointment, or a dollar sign.

Study & Experience makes a smile perfect ....

Most dentists undertake 20 hours annually of continuing professional development, Dr Maratos did over 500 hours last year - he never stops studying and improving his techniques and expertise! He was just made a Fellow of Dental Sleep Medicine after two years of study with the pre-eminent Australasian Sleep Association, making him one of only a handful with these multiple qualifications.
