BARBARA L. MCCLATCHIE, D.D.S.

Dr. McClatchie has a passion for excellence in all aspects of dentistry. A native of the Toledo area, she received her degree from The Ohio State University in 1978, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and state certification in both dental hygiene and expanded duties, which allowed her to place fillings and ultimately fueled her desire to become a dentist. After earning her Doctorate in Dental Surgery from The Ohio State Univeristy in 1986, she completed the highly respected General Practice Residency program at the OSU Hospital to improve her skills and embarked on her dream career in dentistry.

That same passion which drove her to dentistry has continued to influence her career, and benefit her patients. Always wanting to grow professionally and improve her capabilities, she completed all six continuums of continuing education at the prestigious and world-renowned Pankey Institute of Advanced Education in Key Biscayne, Florida, earning recognition as a Pankey Scholar, which is representative of the highest level of care, skill and judgment attainable in dentistry. She is one of only a handful of Ohio dentists with this recognition.

She has successfully integrated the Pankey Institute philosophy of “Optimal Oral Health Care” into her own commitment to "Precision Dentistry  Compassionate Care". Every decision made by she and her staff is reflective of her commitment to these approaches to dentistry.

Dr. McClatchie is a general dentist, trained in everything from the latest innovations in cosmetic dentistry, to full mouth rehabilitation, including bite analysis and TMJ therapy. She provides nearly every dental service and works closely with talented specialists on extensive treatment or special situations. She has personally chosen her favorite specialists to refer you to if required.

Aside from the pride she takes in her work, her greatest pleasure in dentistry is hearing from patients who have historically had negative experiences with dentistry; how much they enjoy the rare balance of professionalism, comfort, results and even fun they experience in our office. Her listening skills, chair side manner, and fun-loving personality have positively influenced dental health in hundreds of previously apprehensive patients, from children to seniors.
