Personal Life

Although she was born in Philadelphia, Tallahassee has been Dr. Beck’s home for more than 40 years. Her husband, Dr. Glenn Beck, is not only her best friend but her business partner and colleague. They have three children: Amelia, David, and Dr. Brian Beck, who also practices dentistry at Tallahassee Dental Associates.

Dr. Beck loves the beauty of nature and exercising, preferably at the same time. Traveling is a particular passion of hers. She likes to explore beautiful parts of the world where she can hike, bike, raft, and scuba dive. She also enjoys golfing, boating, yoga, and working out at the gym.

Giving back to the community is a strong personal mission for Dr. Beck. She especially enjoys encouraging young professionals to seek a career helping others in dentistry. In 2005, Dr. Beck started the Smiles by Beck Scholarship, which is awarded to three students each year at Tallahassee Community College.
