MEET DR. MEGHAN BARRONER, DMD
Dr. Barroner is one of the highest rated oral surgeons in the region having earned Top Oral Surgeon honors, nominated by her peers and highlighted by Pittsburgh Magazine, each year since 2017. She grew up in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania and moved to southwestern Pennsylvania to complete her undergraduate studies at Washington & Jefferson College. After completing pre-dental courses and graduating with a BA in Psychology cum laude, she moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and earned her D.M.D degree from Temple’s Kornberg School of Dentistry. She was the valedictorian of her dental class which included more than 125 graduates.
While in dental school she served on many committees and also participated in several volunteer and humanitarian opportunities to help provide dental care to underserved populations. She also received recognition from her faculty members by being elected to join the elite group of dental professionals in the dental honor society Omicron Kappa Upsilon (Kappa Kappa Chapter). Dr. Barroner was also awarded the Dr. Benjamin Homer Award-presented to the senior student who has demonstrated scholastic excellence and exemplifies the qualities and ideals of integrity and civility; the Horace Wells Award-to the senior student for outstanding achievement in the field of dental anesthesiology; and the Sigma Epsilon Delta Dental Fraternity’s Dr. Reuben Matzkin Award-to the student who has obtained the highest academic average over four years.
After completion of dental school, Dr. Barroner pursued specialized training in anesthesiology in Indianapolis, Indiana at Wishard Hospital. She was then accepted into the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Program at the University of Rochester in upstate New York, under Department Chairman Dr. Lee Pollan, Past President of the American Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons. Her training took place in a preeminent level-1 regional trauma center, which received medical flights from hospitals as far south as Pennsylvania and north to the Canadian border. The program focused on office-based dental and jaw surgery and anesthesia, dental extractions, dental implants, bone grafts, jaw repositioning surgery, facial trauma, and TMJ disorders. Dr. Barroner also published scholarly articles specific to the field of oral & maxillofacial surgery. After completing her formal training as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, she remains up-to-date in her field by consistently attending continuing education courses across the country and by maintaining current board certified status and licensure. Dr. Barroner is also an active presenter specific to various topics relating to oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Prior to starting Elevated Oral & Implant Surgery, she worked within two well-established Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery offices in Pennsylvania and these experiences allowed her to excel in developing her own private oral & maxillofacial surgery practice. Above all, she has learned to place her patients first in all professional considerations, and has been rewarded with happy, appreciative patients. This is surely one of the most important lessons she has acquired during dental school, residency, and private practice. She continues to find the entire scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery fascinating and looks forward to a long profession as an oral surgeon serving the Pittsburgh, South Hills and Washington communities.
In her downtime, she enjoys spending time with family (husband Justin and their four children) and friends.
She especially enjoys travel, snowboarding, reading, and community activities.
