Dr Alexandria Purdy,

Alexandria Purdy was born in Ocala, Florida and while she has moved to many different cities within the state, this is the area she has always considered “home”. Dr. Purdy did not always want to be a dentist; however, an accident left her smile severely damaged. After a team of dental specialist (including Dr. Pisano) fixed her smile, she realized how much teeth can affect one’s self esteem and confidence. Dr. Purdy vowed to become a dentist to help others that are in the same situation. While it was an unfortunate scenario, Dr. Purdy feels it was a blessing because she can better relate to her patient’s fears and concerns. She worked at First Impressions Dental Care as an assistant and now she is so excited to be back in the office, alongside her mother, as a doctor. Dr. Purdy attended the University of South Florida where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences and her Masters in Medical Sciences. Dr. Purdy attended A.T. Still University, Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health in Mesa, AZ earning her DMD and certificate in dental public health. She currently is a member of the Lake County Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association as well as the American Dental Association.
