Enjoying the challenges of both private practice and teaching, Dr. Feimster also serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at The University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston. Moreover, she is affiliated with College Station Modern Dentistry. 

Before obtaining her dream of becoming a specialist, Dr. Feimster obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1995. After completing the first two years of dental school at Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry, she was granted a research position at the National Institute of Health (NIH) and transferred to Howard University College of Dentistry to complete her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. 

After graduating at the top of her class with a research publication, she decided to further her dental education and completed a General Practice Residency at St. Barnabas Hospital in Bronx, New York. She then attended the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in Baltimore where she obtained her Master of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences and a certificate in Endodontics.

After completing her residency, Dr. Feimster returned to Howard University College of Dentistry and took an Assistant Professor position. She also maintained a Dean’s Faculty position at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, and was named Top Dentist in the Northern Virginia Magazine while in private practice in 2014 and 2015. 

Among her professional affiliations, she is a member of the American Association of Endodontists, the American Dental Association, the Greater Houston Dental Society, the Houston Academy of Endodontists, the Edward C.

Furthermore, she is a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics, which is a distinguished group of endodontists who have demonstrated their dedication to professional growth and providing the highest quality of patient care.

Endodontics is the dental specialty concerned with the study and treatment of the dental pulp. An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in treatment to help save teeth. They deal with problems with the inside of the tooth: the pulp, which is made up of nerves, blood vessels, and other soft tissues. One of the most common procedures these dental professionals perform is root canal treatment, which involves removing the infected pulp of a tooth and sealing it up.

Outside of the office, Dr. Feimster enjoys spending her free time with family, traveling, reading, exercising, and volunteering with her sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Her true passion is mentoring and giving back to the community.
