Today marks a bittersweet milestone as Dr. Dixon prepares to close this chapter of her career and officially retire from clinical practice at Charlottesville Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics. ๐๐๐ฆท
โI donโt think I have quite processed it yet, but Iโm about to pack up the dreams God planted.โ -Dr. Dixon
Dr. Dixon founded Charlottesville Pediatric Dentistry in 2006 at just 29 years old, with a two-year-old and a newborn at home. What began as a professional dream grew into something so much greaterโa practice built around compassionate care, educating families, supporting children with special needs, mentoring future dentists, and making a lasting impact on our community.
Over the past 23 years of practicing pediatric dentistry, Dr. Dixon has touched countless lives. Her compassion, dedication, wisdom, and genuine love for her patients have left an incredible mark on generations of children and families.
After eight years of practicing solo, Dr. Dixon entrusted the practice to her colleague, Dr. Aaron Stump, allowing her to devote more time to raising her family while continuing her passion for pediatric dentistry. We are incredibly grateful that she chose to continue this journey alongside Dr. Stump, Dr. Smith, Dr. Stranix and our amazing team.
Dr. Dixon, we hope you know just how deeply you have impacted all of us. You have been a mentor, a friend, a role model, and truly the โmom of the office.โ Your compassion, listening ear, advice, encouragement, and beautiful smile will be missed more than words can express.
As you close this chapter, we hope you can look back with tremendous pride and know that your dream became something truly special. Charlottesville Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics would not be what it is today without you. ๐ฉท
Thank you, Dr. Dixon, for years of changing lives, one little smile at a time. We love you, we are incredibly proud of you. ๐๐๐ฆทโจ
Congratulations on your retirement, Dr. Dixon!
