About Me

Dentist

Rachel E. Bagot , DMD

Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and learn more about me. Let’s start from the beginning! I was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1991. I was raised in Cape Girardeau, Missouri where I was actively involved with competitive swimming, music performance, and community theater/improv comedy. I have a younger sister and three older brothers, who are all musicians as well (to this day I’m not sure why we never started a starving artist family band). I completed my undergraduate education at Southeast Missouri State University, where I explored my passions for science, dentistry, music, and international studies. I decided to broaden my horizons and travel far and wide to attend dental school in . . . Missouri (hey, what can I say? I like it here!) where I spent my first two years in Kirksville and the last two in St. Louis. I graduated in May 2019 with my doctorate in dental medicine. My dental career goal is to find the synergy between being a skilled professional and being a goofball. What’s the point of making teeth beautiful if you can’t make the person smile?

Strengths:

Genuine | Clever | Sincere | Enthusiastic | Ambitious | Analytical | Authentic | Confident

I am always delighted to meet new people and hearing their story, especially with the vastly diverse population we have in Missouri. As a new dentist, I am observant, constantly striving to improve, and always excited to learn new skills and different techniques from my team.

I love to motivate my colleagues and patients by communicating effectively with them; this involves taking time to listen while valuing and respecting varying thoughts and opinions. I always have an open-door policy and a fresh brew of coffee ready.
