A Nebraska native, Dr. Jamie Irwin Richard grew up in Omaha, NE as the first of 3 children. She graduated cum laude from Ball State University Honors College with a BS in Biology on academic and gymnastics scholarships. Upon graduation, Dr. Richard was fortunate to have the opportunity to become a dental assistant in a community clinic where she realized that dentistry was the career choice for her. After graduating from Indiana University School of Dentistry with a DDS degree, she decided to complete a one-year intense general practice residency at the University of Washington in Seattle. Her love for the mountains drew her to Denver, and she made the move in 2008 upon completion of her residency. Since that time, she has been practicing dentistry in the Denver Metro area, and opened Dentistry at Golden Ridge in 2013. Dr. Richard is a member of several organizations including The American Dental Association, Colorado Dental Association, and Metro Denver Dental Society and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. She is also active in several local study clubs.
Dr. Richard, her husband Troy, and 4 young children, have called Golden home for over a decade, and absolutely love life in the foothills. A passion of the Richard family is home remodel. They’ve lived in and fixed up several houses, and really enjoy everything that comes with all the drywall dust! Dr. Richard grew up doing gymnastics and competed up through the collegiate level with her best event being Vault. Now her favorite sports teams to watch are those of her children from swim team, to gymnastics, to lacrosse, to volleyball and beyond. Her favorite foods include pizza and chocolate, and loves hitting up a local coffee shop in any new town she visits. Her favorite vacation spot is Santa Barbara. Her favorite movie is The Proposal and favorite book is Checklist Manifesto. Dr. Richard has been in the dental field for 20 years, and her two favorite parts of her job are talking with patients and continuing education.
Dr. Richard embodies our core values with her dedication to personal and professional excellence and continued growth in her expertise, as well as her balanced approach to caring for patients and considering their overall wellness at every appointment.

Dr. Christina Sehy VerSchave grew up, along with her three brothers, in a small town in South Central Illinois. She graduated in the top 3% of her class from the University of Illinois with a bachelor’s degree in biology.
Dr. VerSchave then completed her dental education at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry in 2005. While there, she had the opportunity to travel to Colorado to work as a dentist in the Salud Family Health Center in Fort Lupton, Colorado. Although Dr. VerSchave had visited Colorado several times, this trip reinforced her desire to make Colorado home. Dr. VerSchave moved to Colorado in 2007 and went on to own and operate her own single-doctor general dental practice in Lakewood for 14 years. Having known Dr. Jamie Richard since 2010, initially meeting in an area dental study club of which they are both still active, Dr. VerSchave is excited to be providing dental care alongside her at Dentistry at Golden Ridge.

Dr. Christina VerSchave and her husband, Everett, along with their three children, have lived in Littleton for over 17 years. Dr. VerSchave enjoys running the trails near her home with their dog, Felix, while her husband much prefers the trails on a mountain bike. Everett keeps his family on their toes with his numerous home remodel projects and spoils them with his delicious cooking creations. Dr. VerSchave’s favorite pastime is spending time with her husband and children. Between driving her kids all around, watching her daughters play flag football and soccer, listening to her girls on the piano, playing any sport involving a ball with her son, or all skiing together, life stays exciting. One aspect of dentistry that Dr. VerSchave most enjoys is talking with her patients and getting to know them on a personal level. The connections remind her of her life growing up in a small town.
