Dr. Melissa Anderson
Dr. Anderson has known she wanted to be a dentist since she was 11 years old. The opportunity to make a lasting impact on someone's confidence and well-being is what fuels Dr. Anderson's commitment to her work. For her, dentistry isn't just about treating teeth—it's about helping people feel confident, comfortable, and cared for.
After earning her degree from Boston University School of Dental Medicine in 2019, Dr. Anderson continued her education with a one-year postdoctoral degree in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the US Army at Fort Campbell, KY. Upon completing her residency, Dr. Anderson served as a Captain in the Army, where she provided dental care to active duty service members at Fort Meade. She is dedicated to continuing her dental education, which is reflected in the advanced courses she has completed in areas such as clear aligner therapy, orofacial pain management, advanced general dentistry, and implant placement, including specialized training at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Dr. Anderson lives in Fells Point with her partner, Tim, and their cat, Mixi. She is still amazed by the Cherry Blossoms every Spring (it rivals Fall in New England!) and enjoys exploring the local restaurants, breweries, and vibrant culture of her neighborhood. Originally from Boston, Dr. Anderson has adopted Baltimore as her home, cheering on the Ravens every Sunday! When she’s not working, you can find Dr. Anderson cooking, reading, working out, traveling, or enjoying a leisurely walk around the harbor.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Chen for quite some time, and I can honestly say he is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had. From the moment you step into the office, you're greeted by a friendly and welcoming team that makes you feel comfortable right away. The office is always clean, modern, and well-equipped, making every visit a pleasant experience.
Dr. Chen is incredibly skilled, thorough, and truly cares about the well-being of his patients. He takes the time to explain procedures and answer any questions you might have, which instantly puts you at ease. His gentle touch makes even the most complex treatments feel painless, and I never feel rushed during my appointments. I’ve had everything from routine cleanings to fillings, and every experience has been top-notch.
What I appreciate most is the personalized care I receive—Dr. Chen always goes above and beyond to ensure my dental health is in great shape. It’s clear that they keep up with the latest advancements in dentistry and always recommend the best options for my needs.
If you’re looking for a dentist who is not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about your comfort and long-term health, I highly recommend Dr. Chen. I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received!
