Mr Kayla Macri

Welcome our newest member of the Mid-City Smiles team!!! Dr. Kayla Macri was born and raised in North Palm Beach, Florida alongside 3 siblings. She attended the University of Florida where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition. Although she is now surrounded by a large LSU community, she holds strong to her Gator roots! While at U.F., Dr. Macri‘s love for dentistry started as she worked as a dental assistant in the Pediatric Dental Department. Dr. Macri continued on to earn a Master’s Degree from Georgetown University in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology where she completed a research fellowship working on Sjogren’s Syndrome at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research at the NIH. Dr. Macri then moved back to sunny Florida where she earned her dental degree from LECOM School of Dental Medicine. While at LECOM, she was the founding Vice President of A.S.D.A. and the student delegate to the American Dental Association. Dr. Macri then moved back to Washington, D.C. to complete a General Practice Residency at the VA Hospital. She was fortunate to grow a large practice as the lead dentist with amazing patients for 5 years. As a transplant to the New Orleans area, Dr. Macri is excited to dive into the amazing food/culture and is loving the southern hospitality. When she is not in the office, Dr. Macri loves to enjoy the outdoors, cooking, exploring new places/restaurants and gardening. She loves spending time with her large family and spending time with her better half, Brandon and his son Isaiah. Her fur children keep her very entertained also-Tank, a 5lb Maltese, and Rocko, the Boxer.
