Our Dentist

Having grown up on the space coast of Florida, Dr. Rike has returned to her roots after her education and training at the University of Florida College of Dentistry and Oregon Health & Science University. 

Dr. Rike brings a presence of warmth, compassion, and professionalism. Her caring approach gives our patients a positive outlook on their oral and general health. With her background in medicine and research, Dr. Rike affords patients with a holistic approach and knowledge of recent literature, whole body mindfulness, and relationship between oral and systemic health. As a 200hr registered yoga teacher, Dr. Rike weaves in mindfulness practices to ensure a calming experience.

Dr. Rike attended the University of Central Florida with a degree in Molecular Biology and Microbiology, graduating cum laude. She spent several years in bench research before pursuing her dental degree at the University of Florida (Go Gators!). During her enrollment at UF, she was actively involved in dental research and continues to implement this love for learning into her current practice. Dr. Rike continued her education with a general practice hospital based residency at Oregon Health & Science University where she greatly expanded her medical knowledge and its relationship to oral health. She believes in a holistic whole body approach and that the best way to treat patients is in prevention and comprehensive care.

A patient many times herself, Dr. Rike provides a perspective of understanding, as this was what motivated her to pursue a career in dentistry.
