Dr. Caitlin, DMD
Originally from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Dr. Caitlin has always had a heart for working with children. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from High Point University in 2018, with an emphasis in developmental and child psychology. Even early on, her path reflected her passion for supporting children as they grow and develop. She then made her first move out of North Carolina to attend the Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health at A.T. Still University, where she earned both her DMD and Master of Public Health degrees in 2022.
Dr. Caitlin remained in Missouri to continue her training, completing a two-year pediatric dental residency and earning her Master of Science in Dentistry at St. Louis University in 2024. Her advanced education further shaped her patient-centered approach, blending clinical excellence with prevention and education to support both oral and overall health.
Although she spent six years building her foundation in Missouri, Dr. Caitlin has always felt drawn westward. After spending time back east near family, she knew that making the move across the country was part of her long-term vision. The natural beauty, outdoor lifestyle, and strong sense of community in the West felt like home. When she discovered Acorn, everything aligned. The mission of creating healthy, happy smiles while partnering closely with families reflected her own philosophy of care.
From a young age, Dr. Caitlin loved working with children, spending her summers throughout high school and college babysitting and nannying for family friends. She believes children bring lightheartedness and energy into every room, and she especially enjoys helping transform what can feel like a scary experience into something empowering and even fun. Her goal is to ensure both patients and parents feel like they are on the same team, working together toward lifelong confidence and healthy smiles.
Outside the office, Dr. Caitlin loves traveling and spending time with her two dogs, Poppy and Dexter. She embraces any opportunity to be outdoors, whether hiking, kayaking, skiing, or simply enjoying a peaceful walk. She also enjoys reading, watching movies, and spending quality time with family and friends.
