A pediatric dentist with a public health background, Dr. McCreedy is enthusiastic about nutrition and preventing dental caries. She has an MPH from UCLA, where she also went to dental school. Her MPH project was titled: "Creating a Service-Learning Curriculum and Partnership Between the UCLA School of Dentistry and the San Fernando Community Health Center," with the goal being to impact community dental health on a broad scale through outreach. As an Assistant Clinical Professor at UCLA, Dr. McCreedy mentored future dental educators and enhanced preclinical dental education, in order to prepare all UCLA graduates for high-quality, compassionate care for low-income pediatric patients. She relocated to the Bay Area in 2015 and currently practices at Los Gatos Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. McCreedy is interested in transferring her community health academic and mentorship skills toward promoting PSE changes centered on child obesity prevention.
