Andrea Montoya, DMD
General Dentist
Dr. Andrea Montoya was born in Atlanta, Georgia and grew up in Tampa, Florida. She graduated from the University of Florida in 2015 with a B.S. in zoology and then from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine.
Dr. Montoya didn’t always want to be a dentist; she went through all of the health professions in college before realizing dentistry was the perfect fit for her. Dentistry allows her to make a positive difference in others’ lives in so many ways. She loves the artistic side of dentistry and her favorite part of her profession is the opportunity to create wonderful relationships with her patients and other dental professionals!
When Dr. Montoya isn’t working, she can probably be found watching something on Netflix. She also has a pretty big obsession with food and can’t wait to try all the great spots in Dallas.
