I grew up in western Pennsylvania in a town with a great community, which is why I love Alachua and Gainesville so much. I attended the University of Arizona for my undergraduate studies from 2004 - 2008 and majored in Biochemistry and Physiology. I then attended the University of Florida College of Dentistry and graduated in 2012. I completed a General Practice Residency at the VA in Gainesville and eventually found my way to Alachua Family Dentistry. I love our office because it feels like home, and we also truly have the best patients! My goal is to help patients feel as comfortable as possible and to do whatever I can to provide them with a positive dental experience. In my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing sports, especially the Gators!
I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, where I and my dog explored every inch of the city, and I graduated from the Indiana University School of Dentistry. I moved to Gainesville with my fianc, Daniel in 2020. When I am not practicing dentistry, I love to travel and explore. I also enjoy yoga, hiking, rock climbing, reading and spending time with my family and their big, yellow Labrador!
I was born and raised in this area and love this community. So, when I was asked to join the team at Alachua Family Dentistry in September of 2018 as Business Manager, I was beyond excited. I have been part of the dental world since graduating from Santa Fe College in 1998. I started out as a Dental Assistant and enjoyed the clinical aspect of dentistry for 14 years before switching gears to the business side of things in 2012. I am incredibly blessed to be a part of this fantastic team and get to see our exceptional patients both in the office and the community. My life and heart are full with my three kids, Tyler, Zoe and Addison and my crazy French Bulldog, Olivia Belle. My spare time is taken up by my kiddos and family, friends, beach trips, watching all Gator sports, road trips, the gym, running and fishing.
I graduated from Santa Fe College in 2001 and have been working with Alachua Family Dentistry since the day the doors opened for business in April 2008. I used to peek in the windows to see the progress whle it was being built! I am certified to give local anesthesia and enjoy seeing my patients everyday and making them smile. I have been happily married to my husband Steve since 2001 and have 2 children named Paul 'Paulie' and Ella 'Ella-bug'. I enjoy spending time with my church, my family, reading, relaxing on the beach and Gator football.
I started out in the medical field as a Certified Nursing Assistant over 20 years ago. I have always wanted to help people in some capacity and transitioned to Dental Assisting, which I love. I have over 12 years of experience and received my certification as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant and in Dental Radiology from the University of Florida Dental School. I joined Alachua Family Dentistry in 2012 and have learned so much here. I really enjoy working here with a great team that is the most caring bunch of people I have had the pleasure of working with. I was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida and now live in High Springs with my family. I am a long time animal lover and have a couple of rescued cats and dogs. I love all kinds of music and enjoy watching movies. Painting is my latest favorite passion. I am also a big fan of reading and like to write poems. My daughter has even helped me self-publish 2 poetry books that are out there in Amazon land.
I was blessed to have been given the opportunity to work here at Alachua Family Dentistry since January 2012. Not only do I work for great doctors, but I work with a wonderful group of ladies, and call me biased, but I think we have the best patients! Each day I am excited to see who will be visiting our office and I enjoy sharing adventure locations and stories and talking animals (especially alligators) with our young patients. I am the proud Mum to 2 wonderful young men, John and Kevin. In my spare time I enjoy going to church, watching movies, reading, and exploring the great outdoors by hiking and/or kayaking and sharing those adventures on my YouTube channel.
I joined the office in 2008 as a Dental Assistant where I worked my way up to Head Dental Assistant. I returned to Santa Fe College and graduated in 2013 with an AS in Dental Hygiene and returned to the office to start the career that I love. I am certified in anesthesia as well. I love to meet all the patients and get to know them and watch their children grow. I was born and raised in Alachua, married the love of my life in June 2014 and now live in High Springs with my husband and my amazing children: Hunter, Bellamy, Reese. We really enjoy all out door activities like hunting, fishing and of course baseball.
Born and raised in Lake City, Florida. I grew up knowing I wanted to be a part of the dental world. After high school I attended Santa Fe College's Dental Hygiene Program where I fell in love with making connections with my patients and easing their dental anxiety. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful boyfriend, family, and friends. I am also a dog mom to my very spoiled dog, Molly.
I was born and raised in High Springs and I love being able to work so close to home. I started my journey as a Dental Assistant in 2015 and in August of 2019 was happy to find myself joining the team at Alachua Family Dentistry. I am blessed with a beautiful daughter who takes up most of my time. Outside of work, we enjoy traveling to new places and exploring the great outdoors.
I am a lifelong resident of Alachua County and thankful for being a part of this community. I graduated from the Dental Assisting Program at Santa Fe College in 2018 as a DANB Certified Dental Assistant. Shortly after, in that same year, I joined the Alachua Family Dentistry Team. I enjoy building relationships with our patients, helping our community, and helping provide a positive experience for those who visit our office for their dental needs. I am a mother of a wonderful daughter whom I completely adore. I enjoy time spent in nature at our local springs and rivers, spending time with family and friends, cheering on the Gators, traveling to the beach and beyond, cooking healthy meals, and enjoying all the blessings life has to offer.

In the attempt to become a patient at this office; the phone rep was audibly disappointed when I mentioned lack of dental insurance. Thinking it was my imagination, I called a week later only to feel rushed off the phone when the phone attendant "Summer" learned that I didn't have insurance. Needless to say I'll find another dental office.

The dentists and dental hygienists are great. My issue is with the billing department/front office. I had to try to figure out my account, what my bill balance was, etc. on several different occasions, including contacting both the dental office manager and my own insurance company as the billing side has been a NIGHTMARE. Firstly...when I requested the bill and all of the insurance payments/copays, etc. the print out was muddled and confusing. Trying to match services to dates of insurance payments, copays, etc. was confusing as I had to go to multiple pages back and forth to figure things out. I had to tell the billing person to submit the billing again for several visits for both myself and my husband as there was no follow up and they simply said that the insurance didn't pay. After contacting the insurance company the issue with quite a few of the submissions being denied was office error...no codes or incorrect codes, yet I had to tell the office that and ask them to resubmit. I have spent hours trying to get my billing balance figured out/corrected/updated. I was given one amount by the office manager, which was different than what I came up with from the information from the insurance company. I paid what I was told to pay...quiet adamantly by the office manager I might add, because that was the balance that she had, regardless of the discrepancy I found. I was then informed several days later by the office manager again via an email that I owed more money after she "looked at my account again". I am MORE than over this whole thing. I should not have had to invest so much of my time and energy into something that someone at that office gets paid to do and keep track of. I should not have to go back and forth as many times as I have had to providing information that they already had, or should have had/seen/known. And sadly...here I am months and months later...STILL with a billing discrepancy. This office recently decided to stop taking our secondary dental insurance. We are leaving. However, to be very clear...WE WERE LEAVING regardless. The reason? I can not deal with the the continual incorrect billing and billing issues. I have had dental insurance/supplemental dental insurance most of my adult life (over 20 years) and I have NEVER had any issues with insurance billing/accounting issues until I went to Alachua Family Dentistry. As for me and mine...we are OUT! I am more than aggravated and it is seriously ridiculous at this point.

My family of six have been seeing Alachua Family Dentistry for a few years now. Since day one I have been impressed with the sweet and friendly, yet professional staff. As well as, the cleanliness of the office, their flexibility, the atmosphere, and of course the dentists. Today, however, they proved to me that their patients are very important to them. I had a filling break while flossing so it was painful. I called the office, was told no available appointments because there was only one dentist at the alachua office, they could see me the very next morning. I was disappointed but I understand one person can only do so much! THEN...I get a call from the office asking if I can be there at 11 today, of course yes yes yes. Dr. Cody drove from one location to the Alachua location JUST to fix my tooth!!!! I am beyond amazed with this dentist!!! Btw they are also terrific with my children, they love the staff and remind me to make them their dentist appointments. I highly recommend them!!!!

I have been in numerous Dental Practices over the past years, many I would never go back again. Alachua Family Dentistry is the most comfortable dentist office I have ever been in.. The office staff are friendly and very efficient. The dental assistants go beyond your expectations. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mitchell. I have found the best place for my wife and I. I would rate this practice at a 10 if I could. I highly recommend Alachua Dental Services. Joe and Rita Dolby

I can sing their praises enough. As someone who had traumatic experiences as a child with lackluster dental care it's refreshing to go to an office where literally every single person there is incredibly nice. The staff go above and beyond and it shows in their service and on their clients faces.

I went in, apprehensive at first - I had a GREAT dentist but that dentist is now 900 miles away, so i needed to find a new one. Dr Mitchell was everything I liked about my old dentist, plus more. Dee, the hygienist, was even better than the one I left 900 miles away. She amazed me, my teeth felt fantastic! The dental assistant was impressive as well, helped with my nervousness by telling me what was going to happen and what I should expect. Even the checkout was above and beyond when she let me get a prize from the treasure chest like I did when I was a little girl:) this place has me ALL SMILES!!!!
