Lauren has lived most of her life in South Carolina. The lowcountry is by far her favorite! She graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Education and worked with children with special needs and horses before joining the dental world in 2017. Laurens favorite activities when she is not working are boating with her husband, Jason, playing with her dog, Goose, cat, Crook, horse, Paddy, or kayaking.
Melissa was an air force brat and traveled often but has spent most of her adult life in the beautiful Carolinas. She and her family discovered Ridgeland when her husband accepted a job here in 2016. She has been a dental assistant for over 20 years and truly enjoys patient interactions and care. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, boating, and spending time with her husband Chris, her son Murphy, and her pup Josie.
Born and raised in the heart of the lowcountry, Joanna is a Ridgeland native. Her passion is caring for others! She's new to dentistry but loves it already and jumps in wherever she's needed! Joanna enjoys spending time with her husband, Scott, three stepchildren, and three dogs. Her favorite activities are boating with family and friends and shopping.
Ann and her husband, Ronnie, have 3 children, 4 grandchildren, and 3 fur babies. Her hobbies include reading, hiking, gardening, birdwatching, and spending time with family. She loves to visit the mountains out west and camping! Ann has been in the dental field since 1997 and her patient care is second to none!
Born and raised in East Tennessee, this Tennessee Volunteer has found love in the low country with her dog, Winston. She spent her first years of her career teaching physical education but found that she loves making people feel comfortable in her chair getting the smile they want. Megan loves to meet new people, travel, dance, and explore out in the sun with Winston.

Check your insurance - when I gave them my insurance information, they said everything would be paid for, but it wasn't and when I called them about it, they admitted that they had not checked but "just assumed they would pay."

I have serious dental anxiety & have always dreaded going to the dentist. The staff at High Point Family Dentistry helped to set my mind at ease. I felt heard & they went at my pace. Megan was such a fantastic person & hygienist. I'm so glad I found this Dentist's office for our family's needs.

New patient; friendly office staff, thorough cleaning, modern digital xrays that you can see, and good Dentists. I highly recommend if looking for a new dental group, especially if you want to get away from the boutique offices in Bluffton.

These are some amazing people. At my age I was hesitant about going. Doctors are fantastic. I was having problems with my new dentures and Dr. G was amazing and everyone else too. They really care about their patients. My beautiful daughter in law works there to. She encouraged me to try them and I am so glad she did.. I now have a beautiful new smile. Thank y'all so much for the care and love showed to me.
