Dr Michael F Manning

BDSc (Qld), MSc (London), MDSc (Syd), FRACDS, Specialist Orthodontist

Dr Michael F Manning is a male Specialist Orthodontist.

Dr Manning graduated in Dentistry from the University of Queensland in December 1965, and assisted lecturing to dental students during 1966. Dr. Manning travelled to the United Kingdom for the next three years and more study resulted in a postgraduate MSc degree from the University of London.

On return to Australia, Dr Manning became involved in Orthodontics and completed the MDSc degree in Orthodontics from the University of Sydney in 1971.

The next two years resulted in more study and further experiences in Orthodontics at the Royal Melbourne Dental School. This period of study resulted in a fellowship from the Royal Australian College of Dental Surgery.

In September 1973, Jacki and Dr Manning were married and, following a short intensive course of study in California, moved from Melbourne to Rockhampton. For the first six months, Orthodontics was practiced in a spare room in Ray Harvey’s Surgery, where Bolsover Dental is now located. After six months, the next move was to the lower end of East Street and in 1976, the final move to the current site on Fitzroy Street. In 1994, the branch office in Emerald was completed.

Jacki and Dr Manning were delighted when their son, Nicholas, could join the practice during 2004 which saw improvements and exciting changes put into place then and continuing to this day.

As of September 2017, Dr Manning remains involved in the practice on a part-time basis and to quote his sentiments “I feel privileged and blessed to still be involved in Nick’s practice and it is truly a thrill to catch up with parents (who I previously treated and) whose children are now being treated by Nick”.
