Dr. Gabriella Garner (Dr. Gabby) was born and raised in Lake Park, Georgia. After moving a few times throughout her childhood, she graduated from Pierce County High School before returning home to attend Valdosta State University. She earned her degree in Marketing in 2022 and was honored as the Outstanding Marketing Student during her time there.

Dr. Gabby went on to attend the Dental College of Georgia, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2026. During dental school, she was recognized for her dedication to patient care and excellence in general dentistry, receiving the Mark Ritz Memorial Scholarship from the Academy of General Dentistry as well as the GDA Southwest District Scholarship.

Dentistry has always felt like home to Dr. Gabby. While attending college, she worked as a hygiene assistant for Dr. Sellers and Dr. Fields, gaining valuable experience and developing a passion for serving patients. In fact, she was right here at Southland when she received the life-changing call that she had been accepted to dental school. As a fun fact, Dr. Gabby was also a patient here growing up, making her return as a dentist especially meaningful.

Dr. Gabby is incredibly grateful for the support system that helped her achieve her dream and is excited to serve her community, her patients, and their families for years to come.

Outside the office, she enjoys spending time with friends and family. She is looking forward to marrying her fiancé, James Michael, this September. You can usually find her watching sports, spending time outdoors, or riding the Ranger with their puppy, Junior.
