Biography

With a warm heart and a keen eye for detail, Dr. Sara Makary brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the world of dentistry in Florida. A proud graduate of the University of North Florida in 2010, she obtained her degree in Psychology before diving into the realm of dentistry at the University of Florida in 2014.

Dr. Makary's commitment to the community is evident. Early in her career, she aligned her passion with purpose by offering her services to non-profit organizations, touching the lives of many in Jacksonville's underserved segments. Her collaborative spirit was further demonstrated through her association as a courtesy faculty with the University of Florida College of Dentistry, where she played an instrumental role in guiding budding dentists during their vital extramural rotations.

In her belief that dentistry goes beyond just the technicalities and delves deep into personal interactions, she founded Northpoint Dental. This venture was her way of giving back to the Oceanway area – a place she's proud to call home.

Dr. Makary's journey started in Egypt and took her to the shores of California during her teenage years. However, her heart found its true north in Jacksonville in 2003. Today, she's a proud resident of the North Jacksonville area, nurturing her growing family which includes her supportive husband, Paul, their lively sons, Daniel and Aaron, and Olaf – their enormous white, Great Pyrenees.

In the midst of her bustling life, Dr. Makary finds solace in painting, loses herself in books, and thrives on family activities and regular workouts.

For Dr. Makary, dentistry is more than just a profession; it's about making a difference, one smile at a time.
The most rewarding part of my day is helping someone improve in any way possible, whether it’s improving oral health, building confidence, or getting over dental anxiety.

The Point Of The Name

Fun fact:

While Dr. Makary and her husband were undergrads, they often studied at her parents’ house. On their walks or runs, they’d pass a ‘Northpoint’ sign by a cow pasture—a quiet landmark in a community on the cusp of change. As development took hold, that pasture gradually shrank, and the sign was moved to make way for the rapid growth that’s come to define this area. When Dr. Makary shifted from public health to private practice, she named it Northpoint Dental—not just a tribute to that old sign they saw daily, but a heartfelt nod to the thriving, evolving community she and her husband trained to serve.
