Dr. Wilma McPherson – Jersey City Pediatric Dentist

Dr. McPherson loves kids! After receiving her bachelor’s degree from Lincoln University and her dental degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, Dr. McPherson practiced community dentistry in her hometown of Boston for four years.

She went on to complete three years of hospital training, first in general practice and surgery, followed by a two-year residency in pediatric dentistry at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in Brooklyn. In her final year, she was appointed chief resident of the entire dental program. Since 2007, Dr. McPherson has been in private pediatric practice. On November 1, 2014, Dr. McPherson opened Jersey City Pediatric Dentistry.

“As a pediatric dentist who is also a mother, it’s important to me that children feel good about their dental visits. When I was a kid, I had a great dental relationship with my pediatric dentist. His professionalism and care inspired me to become a dentist. It is my goal to provide that same positive dental relationship to every child I am fortunate to treat.” – Dr. McPherson
