Dr. Dickinson 

Dr. Sarah Dickinson grew up in Augusta, Georgia, where she attended undergraduate college at Augusta University. Throughout high school and college, she volunteered with programs that helped provide dental care to underserved areas and it cemented her love for dentistry. After graduating, she pursued her dream of helping people understand the importance of their dental health. She completed her DMD at the Dental College of Georgia and then relocated to McDonough to support our community where she is committed to providing high quality dental care. 

When she isn’t helping others with their dental care, you can find her gardening, kayaking, or reading in her hammock with her fluffy side kick, Kobe. 

“I am passionate about ensuring that my patients feel happy and healthy with their smiles” – Dr. Dickinson
