About Our Practice
When Dr. Mac Garrison first began this Harrisonburg private practice in 1983, many of his patients entered his office saying, “No offense, Doc, but I hate dentists.” Now, over thirty years later, many of those same patients enter the office with a smile and a warm greeting. That’s the part of dentistry that we enjoy most: the long-term relationships we have developed by helping patients conquer their apprehension, providing dental care, and motivating them to practice better oral hygiene. Now both Mac and Evan Garrison together continue the tradition of comprehensive care in a friendly atmosphere.
Another aspect of dentistry that we embrace is the ever-evolving landscape of technology, such as computers that make crowns while you wait and lasers that treat gum disease. Keeping abreast of evidence-based dentistry and the latest developments in the field is one of our highest priorities. Both Mac and Evan Garrison are members in the Academy of General Dentistry, an organization that promotes professional study and education. In 2003 Dr. Mac Garrison earned Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry, the highest achievement within the AGD, awarded upon completion of over 1000 hours of clinical continuing education.

Dr. Mac Garrison
Dr. Mac Garrison grew up in Pulaski, Virginia, and attended Hampden-Sydney College where he studied Biology. After moving to Richmond, he obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry. He completed a General Practice Residency at Charlotte Memorial Hospital in Charlotte, NC. While in Charlotte, his wife gave birth to their daughter and upon completion of the program, Dr. Garrison decided to move to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley to raise his young family and set up a practice.
He has twice served as President of the Shenandoah Valley Dental Association as well as on numerous committees of the Virginia Dental Association. More locally, he founded the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Free Dental Clinic in 1994 and continues to treat Free Clinic patients. He also volunteered for Rockingham Memorial Hospital in the event of dental emergencies. As a volunteer ski patroller at Massanutten Resort for seventeen years, he treated injured skiers and taught Outdoor Emergency Care to ski patrol candidates.
In his free time Dr. Garrison enjoys snow skiing and mountain biking. He recently built a beautiful 12′ wooden dinghy, which he is learning to sail.

Dr. Evan Garrison
In 2017, Dr. Evan Garrison joined the family practice, allowing us to give our patients more attention to their needs and questions. Dr. Garrison has a special interest in surgery, replacing missing or broken teeth, and assisting geriatric patients with their changing oral condition.
Evan is the daughter of April and Mac Garrison. She grew up in Harrisonburg and pursued a degree in Economics and Asian Studies at James Madison University. While assisting at the Harrisonburg Free Clinic with her dad, she realized her desire to provide health care and decided to go to dental school.
She attended Virginia Commonwealth University/MCV School of Dentistry in Richmond for her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. At VCU, Evan earned a scholarship of merit every year, held numerous leadership roles, and participated in many community service events. She traveled to Dominican Republic and Jamaica for dental mission trips and was selected by her professors for an externship in Qingdao, China. She spent three weeks over her winter break treating patients in a Chinese dental hospital.
Dr. Evan Garrison is currently serving as the President-Elect for the Shenandoah Dental Association. And like her father, she loves mountain biking and skiing.
