Meredith Goodrich, DMD

Dedicated to Your Care and Comfort

Dr. Meredith Goodrich has many interests, including healthy teeth. Before dental school, she valued her time studying English literature right here in Gainesville, and she remains an avid reader. She also had some experience working in radio advertising. And although time with a family, including two small children, leaves her less free time, she still enjoys cross-stitchery and pottery. These interests reflect the kind of detailed craftwork and care that she brings to dentistry.

She has also retained her interest in studying new things. After graduating from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 2002, she completed a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry training in the Air Force. Dr. Goodrich served for four years in the Air Force Dental Corps and received the Air Force Commendation award in 2006. She maintains a strong interest in studying the latest dental techniques and products. In 2012, the Academy of General Dentistry awarded Dr. Goodrich a Fellowship for her achievements in education. She and her husband Chris were married in Gainesville in 2002 and returned in 2007 to build a family. They have two daughters who are a constant joy. They love Gainesville because of family ties, church, friends, and the Gators.
