About McDonald Family Dentistry

Below are brief descriptions of our dental teams to familiarize you with our team's professional training, credentials, and dental work experience. Dr. Ian R. McDonald moved to Hickory, NC , as a child in 1988. He graduated from Saint Stephens High School. He received a BS in psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill. After shadowing several local dentists and volunteering with NC Missions of Mercy, he decided that dentistry was his calling. He became operations manager for NC Missions of Mercy, where he developed a strong interest in providing dental care to those in need. He attended UNC dental school, where he served as a class officer, received the 2016 Spurgeon Dental Class Award and the Robert Tormey Award.

They are looking forward to becoming involved in the community and volunteering with local dental outreach programs. I
