Amy-Jo Fischer, DDS has been a resident of Kernersville since 1985. She grew up in St. Joseph, Missouri, where she attended Central High School and was Co-Valedictorian. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia, as a Curator Scholar. From there, she attended the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, receiving her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1985. While at UNC, she served as president of her dental fraternity, and received the Kermit Knudtzen Award for outstanding service, and the Academic Achievement Award from the fraternity. After graduation, Dr. Amy was employed by the NC Department of Corrections, and worked in another private practice, before establishing Smiles by Design in 1995.
Dr. Amy feels that treating the person rather than just the teeth is very important. She enjoys working with patients of all ages, getting to know them and their families. She also believes being involved in the Kernersville community is very important. After a battle with breast cancer ten years ago, Dr. Amy founded the Kernersville Pink Ribbon Rally Fund, which includes an annual fundraiser to help breast cancer patients with their non-medical expenses.
Dr. Amy is a member of the American Dental Association, the North Carolina Dental Association, and the Kernersville Chamber of Commerce. She has traveled to Honduras as a member of the UNC Dental Brigades, and volunteers regularly on the NC Baptist Mens Dental Bus.
