Education & Training
Doctor of Dental MedicineUniversity of Louisville
General Practice ResidencyMalcolm Randall VA Hospital, Gainesville
Dr. Drew’s path began in Reno, Nevada, where skiing, hiking and camping taught him the value of health, perseverance and precision. After his undergraduate studies at the University of Kentucky, he earned his doctorate at the University of Louisville.
Serving Those Who Served
His residency at the Malcolm Randall VA Hospital proved transformative. Caring for veterans taught him compassion for every patient’s unique circumstances and built deep experience in surgical, emergency and medically complex care.
Care Under One Roof
Advanced training across multiple specialties means services that usually require several offices happen here — with better communication, easier scheduling and a deeper understanding of your overall oral health plan.
Life Beyond the Practice
Watson, Crick & the Great Outdoors
When he’s not caring for patients, Dr. Drew keeps the active lifestyle that first sparked his interest in health. He and his wife Erin — a fellow dentist and Jacksonville native — love exploring Florida’s outdoors with their two dogs, Watson and Crick, named after the famous scientists.
His interests in dog training, volunteering and outdoor athletics keep him connected to the patience, discipline and dedication he brings to the practice every day — and help him find treatment solutions that fit your lifestyle, whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional or simply ready for a more confident smile.
In addition to supporting our dentist, our team is here to make sure every visit is not only effective but genuinely pleasant. Once you meet them, we think you’ll agree — they’re amazing!

She considers herself part of a great team where every member is just as important as the next, and works hard to make treatment possible by finding financial solutions for any scenario. She enjoys growing her leadership skills through monthly coaching and continuing education, and highly values the personal relationships she has with our patients.
Carie feels blessed to have a spectacular daughter, Lilian, wonderful parents and a loving sister. She and her daughter are animal lovers with a rescue puppy, Alfie, and a cat, Stella. In her spare time she loves the Florida sun, cooking, football and entertaining friends.

She joined Dr. Drew Rappaport’s office in 2022 and loves that everyone works as a team and puts the patient first. Making patients feel relaxed — and putting a smile on their faces — makes her day.
When she’s not at work, Angel loves time with family and friends, reading, the beach or pool — and, of course, cheering on the Jaguars!

Originally from Missouri, Mollie brings over 25 years of experience in business management to Rappaport Dental. She relocated to Jacksonville in 2018 and helped her sister establish an autism center in St. Johns County — an experience that inspired a new path and led her to join our practice in May 2024. Her background in business operations and insurance management enhances every patient’s experience.
Outside of work, Mollie enjoys her nieces and nephew, concerts and Florida’s beautiful weather. A devoted Kansas City Chiefs fan, she spends her Sundays cheering on her team.
Minda

Minda has worked with Rappaport Dental part time since 2005 and joined the practice full time in July 2022. Her passion in life is dental hygiene — she feels her purpose is to help others achieve maximum oral health and esthetics, and she keeps learning the latest technology and products available.
A Jacksonville native, Minda enjoys golfing, biking at the beaches, hot yoga, skydiving, snorkeling and scuba diving.
Sarah
Dental Hygienist
A lifelong Florida resident, Sarah is grateful for the opportunity to build personal connections with patients and keep them comfortable during treatment. Passionate about patient education, she empowers every patient to feel confident in their at-home care — her goal is for everyone to leave the chair smiling!
Sarah enjoys reading, riding her bike, spontaneous adventures and time with her pets.
Since 1990
The Legacy of Dr. James J. McCall
Dr. McCall began his dental journey in 1990 with a simple goal — to provide exceptional care in an environment where patients felt truly valued. For 34 years he built lasting relationships and a reputation for excellence throughout Jacksonville.
When it came time to pass the torch, he chose Dr. Drew Rappaport. The two worked side by side for several years, ensuring the same compassion, integrity and commitment to outstanding care would live on. Today, Dr. Rappaport proudly carries that legacy forward.

Centrally Located in Jacksonville
Lake views, a welcoming lounge and an espresso bar, private treatment rooms — take a look around before your first visit.
This is a phenomenal dentist’s office. I used to hate and dread going to the dentist, but now it’s something I genuinely look forward to and no longer feel is a hassle. Dr. Drew is incredibly kind and friendly and is always happy to see me, answer my questions, and review any potential dental care I may need. The dental hygienist I see, Sarah, is also amazing—she’s so bubbly and positive and makes getting my teeth cleaned fun, which I never thought I’d say. The office staff are just as wonderful and easy to work with when it comes to scheduling appointments and handling billing. The waiting area and treatment rooms are always spotless and feel cozy and relaxing. This office has completely changed how I feel about going to the dentist, and my teeth are the healthiest they’ve ever been.

I can honestly say that my visit to Rappaport Dental was the best dental experience I’ve ever had in my life. From the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel comfortable and cared for. Mollie and Carie welcomed me and were very informative. The staff is warm, professional, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect. Dr. Rappaport is incredibly skilled, gentle, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. Angel was very accommodating and comforting during my procedure. I even got my crown the same day, which was amazing! I’ve never felt so relaxed and confident at a dental appointment before.

Dr Drew and team are the best in the biz. They always make you feel comfortable and informed on any necessary procedure. Recently had to have implant and PRF procedure. It was a breeze and this is coming from someone who used to hate going to the dentist.
