 “I'm a native from Savannah, Ga and I moved to the Golden Isles in 2012. I graduated from Coastal Pines Technical College with an Associates' Degree in Business Management. I've been working for Dr. Mericle for almost a year and in the short amount of time that I have been here, I have really enjoyed being a part of Mericle Dentistry. When I am not working I enjoy going to the movies as well as spending time with my friends and socializing.”

Emily McDonald – Dental Assistant

I am from Brunswick, Georgia, and have always gone by Emmie. I graduated from Glynn Academy in 2015 and have a wonderful twin sister, Jessica. If I am not working I’m spending my time with my family, playing with my four-legged Princess Nova, laying on the beach and playing soccer.

My favorite thing about working with Dr. Mericle and our team is having the opportunity to help with all of the amazing smiles that walk in and out of our doors. I look forward to providing all the help I can to our patients and learning more along the way. I’m very lucky to call this my work family!
