The specialists leading your care.
Dr. Adrina DeVitre
DMD · General Dentist
Dr. Adrina DeVitre grew up watching her parents, both dentists, caring for patients. From the age of 11, she'd go into the office with her mother on weekends and assist in small ways. It was then she began noticing and appreciating the delicate touch required for dental work and the compassion her mother had for her patients. At 14, she began helping out on the administrative side, where she developed a sense of responsibility and professionalism that she carried with her into her own career. Before long, Dr. DeVitre came to realize the dental field was more than just the family business. It became her passion.
