Dr. Ashleigh Friend

I was raised in the mountains of Western Maryland, where I received my undergraduate degree in biology from Frostburg State University. I knew wanted to pursue a career in medicine, but I wasn’t sure what kind of medicine. Then the secretary at my mom’s work fell ill, and everything changed. It was winter break, so I made some extra money helping my mom’s boss (a dentist) with the administrative work. I worked in that office for a month, and I left knowing exactly what career was for me. I never looked back.

After completing my dental education at University of Maryland School of Dentistry, I worked with underserved populations in Baltimore City, and then with Tidewater Dental, where I received the Dentist of the Year award for 2019. I am passionate about continuing education and am a member of the Academy of General Dentistry. Received her Bachelor of Science in from the University of Maryland, College Park

I enjoy getting to know each of my patients personally and helping guide them to their own optimal dental health. In my spare time, I can be found in the yoga studio, on the beach, and spending quality time with my pets. I have 3 dogs, 6 cats, and am a foster parent for my local rescue. I love animals almost as much as I love being a dentist.
