A Journey to Comprehensive Care

Dr. Drew Rappaport’s path to dentistry began in the mountains of Reno, Nevada, where an active outdoor lifestyle taught him the value of health, perseverance, and attention to detail. Growing up skiing, hiking, and camping instilled in him an appreciation for precision and the importance of being prepared for any challenge. These early experiences shaped his approach to dentistry, where thorough preparation and adaptability are essential for successful outcomes.

After completing his undergraduate studies in the bluegrass hills at the University of Kentucky, Dr. Drew earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Louisville. But his education didn’t stop there. Recognizing that exceptional patient care requires continuous learning, he pursued a General Practice Residency at the Malcolm Randall VA Hospital in Gainesville, Florida. This intensive program provided advanced training in complex dental procedures and the opportunity to serve those who served our country.

The residency experience at the VA hospital proved transformative for Dr. Drew. Working with veterans taught him the importance of compassionate care and the need to address each patient’s unique circumstances. He gained extensive experience in surgical procedures, emergency dentistry, and managing medically complex cases. This comprehensive training allows him to handle procedures that many general dentists refer to specialists, keeping your care convenient and consistent.

A Philosophy Centered on Your Complete Dental Care

What sets Dr. Drew apart is his commitment to providing truly comprehensive dentistry under one roof. His advanced training encompasses multiple specialties, allowing him to offer services that typically require visits to several different offices. This integrated approach means better communication between different aspects of your treatment, more convenient scheduling, and a deeper understanding of how each procedure fits into your overall oral health plan.

Dr. Drew’s extensive continuing education keeps him at the forefront of dental technology and techniques. He regularly attends advanced courses in implantology, digital dentistry, and minimally invasive procedures. This dedication to learning means you benefit from the latest advancements in dental care, whether you’re coming in for a routine cleaning or a complex surgical procedure.

Life Beyond the Practice

When he’s not caring for patients, Dr. Drew maintains the active lifestyle that first sparked his interest in health and wellness. He and his wife Erin, a fellow dentist and Jacksonville native, enjoy exploring Florida’s outdoor spaces with their two dogs, Watson and Crick. Named after the famous scientists, these furry family members reflect the couple’s appreciation for both science and companionship.

Dr. Drew’s passion for continuous improvement extends beyond dentistry. He dedicates time to volunteer work in the community, believing that giving back is an essential part of professional life. His interests in dog training and outdoor athletics keep him connected to the values of patience, discipline, and dedication that he brings to his dental practice every day.

This well-rounded approach to life translates directly to his patient care. Dr. Drew understands that dental health is just one part of a full, active life. He works with you to find treatment solutions that fit your lifestyle, whether you’re an athlete concerned about protecting your teeth, a busy professional needing efficient care, or someone looking to improve their smile confidence.
