My name is Dr. Michelle Stephenson.

I have practiced in the Northwest Florida panhandle for over 20+ years. I’m a 1998 graduate of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Over the last 25+ years, I have developed a particular interest in dentistry and oral surgery and have pursued numerous hours of continuing education and advanced training nationwide. I am not a board-certified dentist. However, I know that many general practitioners have a particular lack of love for complicated dental extractions, oral tumor removals, fracture repair, etc. If this is you, then perhaps we can be of service.
