Meet the Team
Dr. Michael McClure
Double Board Certified
From the Golden State to the First Coast, Dr. Michael McClure has built a career defined by service, education, and a commitment to excellence in dentistry.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Dr. McClure attended the University of California, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in Physiology. Following college, he entered the United States Navy and served for seven years as a Naval Aviator, flying the P-3 Orion.
After completing his initial Navy service, Dr. McClure pursued a career in dentistry at the University of Florida College of Dentistry, graduating Summa Cum Laude in May 2000. He then returned to active duty as a U.S. Navy Dental Officer, serving for an additional five years and completing multiple overseas deployments, including two to the Middle East and one to Djibouti, Africa.
Dr. McClure left active duty in 2005 and has practiced dentistry in the Jacksonville area ever since. His commitment to military service, however, did not end there. In September 2022, he returned to uniform as an officer in the United States Navy Reserve and will retire from the Navy in September 2026, bringing to a close a military career spanning naval aviation, dentistry, active duty, and reserve service.
Dr. McClure’s dedication to continuing education has been equally extensive. He has completed more than 2,000 hours of advanced continuing dental education and has earned both Fellowship and Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), among the organization’s highest professional distinctions.
Implant dentistry has been a major focus of Dr. McClure’s advanced training. He has achieved Fellowship, Mastership, and Diplomate status with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), one of the world’s largest professional organizations dedicated to dental implant education. Diplomate status represents the ICOI’s highest level of credentialing and is comparable to board certification in implant dentistry. He has also achieved advanced recognition through the Implant Prosthetic Section of the ICOI.
In 2013, following an extensive written and oral examination process, Dr. McClure achieved Board Certification in General Dentistry, a distinction attained by only a small percentage of practicing dentists.
Dr. McClure’s additional professional affiliations and accomplishments include membership in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Dental Association, Florida Academy of General Dentistry, Florida Dental Society of Anesthesiology, American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, and Northeast District Dental Association. He is also a Past President of the Clay County Dental Society and has earned Mastership in the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology’s College of Sedation.
Throughout his career, Dr. McClure has combined advanced clinical education with decades of military and professional service. Whether serving his country or caring for his patients, his focus has remained the same: providing knowledgeable, compassionate, and technologically advanced dental care.
Valerie
Medical Aesthetician
My name is Valerie and I’m the Medical Aesthetician and Certified Phlebotomy Technician at CARE Esthetics/Orange Park Dental Professionals. My approach to skincare is as strategic as it is compassionate. A natural result of pairing my background in business management with an unwavering passion for esthetics, and a heart for helping those around me. That combination gives me the precision to deliver results and the genuine care to make every client feel truly seen and heard. I don’t believe in changing who you are; I believe in enhancing what’s already beautifully yours!
Beyond my work in the treatment room, I’m also a respected Esthetics Educator, training hundreds of fellow professionals every year in the advanced use of PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) in facial esthetics; an all-natural, cutting-edge, regenerative technique at the forefront of the industry. Through this role, I help shape the next generation of practitioners and raise the standard of care across the field.
For me, our esthetic treatments aren’t just a “service”. It’s a craft. Approaching every treatment with precision, artistry, and a deep commitment to help patients look and feel like their most confident, radiant selves.
When I’m not in the office, I’m happiest at home with my husband Rob, and my three amazing children, Jackson, Sadie, and Aurora. Add our two dogs, Harley and Otis, and it’s a full, joyful household! The same warmth and care I give my family is exactly what I bring to every patient who sits in my chair.
I look forward to welcoming you to the family soon!

I am deeply passionate about dentistry and dedicated to helping patients achieve and maintain healthy, confident smiles. One of the most rewarding parts of my career is educating patients about their oral health and empowering them to take an active role in their care.

Sky
Dental Assistant
My name is Sky, and I was born in California before my family relocated to Florida in 2017. I graduated from high school with my Associate of Arts degree, and at just 15 years old I was given the opportunity to begin working in dentistry.

I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree with the goal of becoming a dentist. I love building relationships with patients and helping create a welcoming, comfortable environment where they feel genuinely cared for. Dentistry has given me the opportunity to combine my passion for science with my desire to help others, and I look forward to continuing to grow in the field.

I ran track in high school and have completed multiple half marathons, and one of my biggest personal goals is to complete all of the World Marathon Majors. I enjoy challenging myself, whether that’s in the classroom, on the race course, or in my career, and I believe there’s always something new to learn.
