Dr. Maria Jeffcoat

Dr. Maria joined our team in August 2023. She grew up in Dunwoody, Georgia, and completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Georgia, obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Biology. She attended the Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University for her dental training before specializing in pediatrics at Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond, Virginia.

Dr. Maria’s passion for pediatric dentistry was ignited by joyful experiences caring for neighborhood kids during the summer and her fond memories of her grandfather, who was a pediatrician. Witnessing the transformation and the profound influence her grandfather had on children’s lives, Dr. Maria knew that she wanted to follow in his footsteps. After completing her two-year pediatric dental residency training, Dr. Maria alongside her husband, Jacob, and their pet chihuahua, Leonidas, moved to the Greenville area to make it their permanent home and to be closer to family. With relatives and cousins living in Simpsonville, she is happy to be serving a community with strong family ties and a deep familiarity from her childhood.

Dr. Maria enjoys building long-lasting relationships with families, providing exceptional dental care, and creating a positive impact in the lives of young patients. She is a diplomat of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and active member of the American Dental Association.

Being from Atlanta and a proud UGA graduate, Dr. Maria is a huge Braves and UGA Bulldogs fan. When she's not cheering on her favorite teams, she loves traveling abroad, spending time outdoors, and going on walks with her dog. Her greatest joy, though, is her family—her sweet boys, Dean and Miller, keep her on her toes and fill her days with love and adventure.
