After graduating with top honors from Mariner High, Dr. Nash attended the University of Florida, receiving a Bachelors of Science in Zoology. Dr. Nash went on to study at the University of Florida College of Dentistry, where she earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine, graduating magna cum laude-“with great praise”. Dr. Nash was also invited to become a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon, a prestigious, invitation only, National Dental Honor Society.
After graduation, Dr. Nash returned to Southwest Florida, and currently practices in her hometown of Fort Myers. Dr. Nash is committed to achieving clinical excellence, and is constantly attending continuing education courses that keep her up to date on new products and techniques, in order to offer her patients the best and most innovative care available.
In June of 2014, Dr. Nash earned her Fellowship award in the Academy of General Dentistry. The AGD Fellowship is one of the most rigorous continuing dental education programs today. A general dentist who is a “Fellow” in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) has been recognized by other general dentists as a leader and example to other dentists of the importance of quality continuing dental education to patient care. To earn a Fellowship Award, a dentist must earn a minimum of 500 approved continuing dental education credits and pass a comprehensive 400-question examination. The dentist is required to be an AGD member for three continuous years. While attaining Fellowship is a challenge, it allows dentists to remain current with what is new in dentistry, and to incorporate the latest research techniques into their practices. Fellows of the AGD follow a lifelong pursuit of continuing education to provide the highest quality of dental care to patients. The award symbolizes the professional responsibility of general dentists to remain current in their profession and reminds each member of the dental profession to continue to learn new techniques for their dental practice.
