Mr Meghan McDonough

Dr. Meghan is incredibly excited and honored to be able to join her dad’s practice here in Dana Point. Dr. Meghan graduated from Pepperdine University in 2015 as salutatorian of her class with a bachelors in Theatre Arts and a minor in Sports Medicine. She graduated from the Herman Ostrow USC School of Dentistry in 2022. Upon graduation, she was honored with the Robert W. McNulty Memorial Award for highest academic achievement and the award for Outstanding Achievement in Fixed Prosthodontics. While at Ostrow, she was grateful for the opportunities to be a member of the Medical Emergency/Dr. STAT team under the direction of Dr. James Tom and to regularly serve at the Mobile Dental Clinic, providing free dental care to schoolchildren and their families with limited access to care. Dr. Meghan completed a yearlong general practice residency at Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center in June 2023, where she was able to provide comprehensive dental care to medically compromised, and physically and developmentally disabled patients. Along with expanding her experience in restorative dentistry, she was able to gain further experience in oral surgery, prosthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics. Aside from developing lasting relationships with many of her patients, her favorite experience was being able to provide complete oral rehabilitation to developmentally disabled patients while patient’s were under sedation in the operating room at RLA. In her free time, she loves to spend time with her family outdoors, play with their golden retriever, Finnegan, and teach barre3 classes.
