Mohit Tolani – Dentistry – Health
Griffith Health alumnus Dr Mohit Tolani has given us something to smile about. Dr Tolani has been travelling across the countryside of Victoria and New South Wales (NSW), treating hundreds of patients with compromised dental health and limited access to dental care. His passion for community service started when he was part of the Southport Rotaract club during his time at Griffith University as a dental student, where he volunteered for more than five years, supporting his motivation to do more to help and make people smile again.
