Sheri McVaugh, DAADOM

Sheri has over 30 years of experience in dentistry and business leadership, blending her early career in customer service, sales, and training, including time with the Walt Disney Company, with decades of dental practice management and team development. She entered the field by assisting a new dentist with his practice startup, where she developed marketing strategies, built local business networks, and created policies and procedures. To further support patient care, Sheri trained in dental assisting and rapidly expanded her role into office management. 
Sheri values lifelong learning and considers educational opportunities a gift. She earned her Fellowship distinction with AADOM in 2023, her Mastership in 2024, and her Diplomate in 2025.
Building on her commitment to professional growth, Sheri founded the Susquehanna Valley PA Dental Connection (SVPADC) in 2016, an AADOM-recognized Dental Professional Learning Network (DPLN). Her passion lies in customer service across all aspects of patient care and in supporting and encouraging dental teams and doctors. She has coached, educated, and spoken at continuing education events both locally and within SVPADC.
Sheri is also a strong advocate for mental health. She has authored several articles on protecting mental health, served on the board of a youth-focused nonprofit addressing depression and suicide, and participates as a family in suicide prevention awareness and fundraising efforts. 
Residing in Pennsylvania, Sheri values work-life balance and enjoys hiking local trails, antiquing, thrifting, and spending time with her children and grandchildren. With both daughters working as artisans, she also enjoys assisting them at markets and craft fairs.
Sheri is proud to help dental teams grow and thrive through the Circle of Dental Excellence (CODE). In this circle, each member has shared value and equal participation, with open communication, shared leadership, and a supportive space for every voice to be heard. The mutual respect and admiration among CODE team members form the foundation of the strong bonds of our circle. The circle reflects continuity, growth, and sustainability, which are values Sheri is excited to uphold and share with fellow members.
