Dr. McIlvaine is married to her high school sweetheart, having been together for over a decade. Outside of dentistry, she enjoys riding her Peloton, strength training, reading, and gardening. She also loves spending time outside in the sun, cheering on the Gators, and traveling to National Parks with her husband. 

“I believe that small details make a big difference—whether it’s in a perfectly polished restoration or a conversation that makes a patient feel seen. I want my patients to feel comfortable, cared for, and confident every time they leave the office. My approach is simple: treat people with kindness, aim for excellence, and never stop learning.”
