Dr. Marsh founded Brightwater Dental with one simple belief: nobody should dread going to the dentist. After years in high-volume clinics, she wanted to build a practice where visits feel unhurried and every patient is treated like a neighbor — because in San Rafael, most of them are.
She's a proud member of the American Dental Association and the California Dental Association, and she completes advanced training in implant and cosmetic dentistry every year. Outside the office, you'll find her hiking China Camp with her rescue dog, Marlow.

Real experiences from families across Marin County. (Sample reviews for demonstration.)
"I've avoided dentists for a decade out of pure anxiety. The team here walked me through every step and I genuinely felt calm. First time I've said that about a dental visit."
"Got a same-day crown that actually matches my other teeth perfectly. In and out in one appointment, and the office feels more like a spa than a clinic."
"They take our whole family, from my 4-year-old to my dad's implants. Dr. Marsh is patient, honest about costs, and never pushes anything we don't need."
