A Nebraska native, Dr. Jamie Irwin Richard grew up in Omaha, NE as the first of 3 children. She graduated cum laude from Ball State University Honors College with a BS in Biology on academic and gymnastics scholarships. Upon graduation, Dr. Richard was fortunate to have the opportunity to become a dental assistant in a community clinic where she realized that dentistry was the career choice for her. After graduating from Indiana University School of Dentistry with a DDS degree, she decided to complete a one-year intense general practice residency at the University of Washington in Seattle. Her love for the mountains drew her to Denver, and she made the move in 2008 upon completion of her residency. Since that time, she has been practicing dentistry in the Denver Metro area, and opened Dentistry at Golden Ridge in 2013. Dr. Richard is a member of several organizations including The American Dental Association, Colorado Dental Association, and Metro Denver Dental Society and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. She is also active in several local study clubs.

They’ve lived in and fixed up several houses, and really enjoy everything that comes with all the drywall dust! Dr. Richard grew up doing gymnastics and competed up through the collegiate level with her best event being Vault. Now her favorite sports teams to watch are those of her children from swim team, to gymnastics, to lacrosse, to volleyball and beyond. Her favorite foods include pizza and chocolate, and loves hitting up a local coffee shop in any new town she visits. Her favorite vacation spot is Santa Barbara.
