Dentist

Dr. Alexandra Marquez

Dr. Alexandra Marquez, DMD, leads Rivertowne Family Dentistry, continuing the practice’s long tradition of gentle, comprehensive care for Mount Pleasant families.

She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine and believes the best dentistry starts with listening: taking time to understand each patient, explaining every option clearly, and never rushing a visit.

Office Manager & Insurance Coordinator

Lori

Lori keeps the front of the practice running smoothly and is our go-to guide for dental insurance benefits and financial questions. Before moving to the front office, she spent 20 years as a dental assistant, so she understands care from both sides of the chair.

She joined the practice after relocating to Mount Pleasant. A mother of three and a proud grandmother, Lori loves reading, family time, and trips to the beach.
