My journey as a dental hygienist began more than a decade ago, graduating from Central Georgia Technical College in 2010. I say journey because dentistry is a field that is ever evolving, developing new technology and techniques to improve our overall health. Thats what I love about being a dental hygienist! My goal is to help our patients achieve confidence that only a healthy smile can bring!

My husband, Ryan, and I moved to Tampa in 2020 to be involved in a Bible education ministry at the Tampa Harbor. We both volunteer as full-time ministers and it is our passion to bring hope to others. We also enjoy going to the beach often, kayaking, hiking, and spending time with family, friends, and our cat, Nitro.

I started in the dental field in 2012 working as a dental assistant. After working as an assistant I realized dental hygiene was my passion and decided to become a dental hygienist. I graduated in 2015 with my dental hygiene degree from Santa Fe College in Gainesville, FL. While living in Gainesville I met my wonderful husband Blake.

We moved to Tampa in 2016 and in October 2019 we welcomed our first child-Reese! We are head over heels and love watching him learn and grow! In my free time I am a member of The Junior League of Tampa and love to attend their volunteer and social events around the community. On our days off, my husband and I love to take Reese and the dogs to Little Gasparilla Island where we enjoy the beach and fishing!

    All staff were super friendly. Although I haven't been to the dentist in a long time, none of them shamed me and was happy to come see them!

    (1st impression) Due to many obstacles, it's been years since my husband and I had dental service done. The staff here are kind, knowledgeable, and flexible for scheduling. Never once did we feel pressured or unwelcomed. The services we received: x-rays, one cleaning & one deep cleaning, flouride treatment, & of course consultations. Our cleanings were thorough and virtually pain-free. Hubby still needs to have a tooth pulled, and we both need realignment, but honestly we can't wait to go back- the service here is THAT good.

    I just had my first appointment at Seminole Heights Family Dentistry. I switched over from my previous dentist in order to be taken care of by the wonderful Dr. Sara Spear! The reception staff was friendly and the office was clean and simple. Dr. Spear's hygienist, Brittany, was extremely friendly and was gentle when cleaning my teeth. I appreciate the fact that Dr. Spear actually took the time to visit with me and do a thorough examination of my teeth and address my concerns, as opposed to a quick, obligatory glance like I've received from previous dentists. I'm happy I made the switch; see you in 6 months! :)

    I've always had horrible experiences with dentist resulting in me not going for a long time and having anxiety. I felt welcomed and never judged here. By far the best place I've been to.

    This was my first visit. As I told the staff, I am not fond of dentists. Yet, they made me feel very comfortable and Dr. George was excellent. Before she began to examine me, after x-rays were taken, she talked with me asking questions and making notes, not related to my teeth, but me in general. It was like she wanted to know ME as a person and not necessarily as a patient.. She explained what needed to be done, how it would be done and ways to prevent future problems. She understood I was very nervous and helped to calm me. I actually am looking forward to my next visit.

    I followed Dr Spear here from a previous practice. I have always enjoyed her cheery manor and professionalism. More than that she has helped people I know in ways that shows her kind and compassionate heart. She will be my dentist, always.
