Before his dentistry career, Dr Fitridge spent much of his school years focused on music study, leading to a stint as a saxophone teacher in Queensland. This experience honed his ability to engage and communicate, traits that he now applies when getting to know and help his dental patients.

Outside the practice, Dr Fitridge remains active and engaged in a variety of pursuits. Whether he's watching sports, running, hiking, travelling, or whipping up a delicious meal in the kitchen, he brings the same enthusiasm and energy as he does to his dental work.
