Dr. Krizner-Meza

Dentist

Dr. Melissa Krizner-Meza, affectionately known as Dr. K, is originally from Pittsburgh and grew up in South Florida. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Communications from the University of Miami before spending ten years working in the hospitality industry. Inspired to pursue a career in healthcare, Dr. K completed post-baccalaureate studies at Florida Atlantic University before obtaining her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Florida College of Dentistry.

The University of Florida also happens to be the alma mater of Dr. Ramkissoon and Dr. Weiss, and the three even shared some of the same professors during their training.

What Dr. K enjoys most about dentistry is meeting new people and building meaningful, long-term relationships with patients and their families. As she puts it, “I love that dentistry connects me with people and communities. It provides me a way to give back.”

One of the qualities that truly stands out about Dr. K is her strong commitment to serving others. She is passionate about giving back to the community and has dedicated time to providing dental care to underserved populations through organisations such as the WeCare Clinic in Gainesville, Mission of Mercy, FIMRC Medical Mission to Peru, Remote Access Medical, AAWD, Super Sealant Saturday Dental Children’s Program, and the Summer Health Professions Education Program.

Outside of the practice, Dr. K has a creative side and enjoys all types of crafting, especially knitting. She also loves spending time outdoors with her husband and their two dogs, Cora and Lola Rose.
