Wanting to pursue bigger dreams, he received his D.M.D. from the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Dentistry. In 2005, Dr. McLemore met the late Dr. Joseph McNeff. They hit it off immediately, and Dr. McNeff offered Chance the opportunity of a lifetime to join him in his dental practice in Foley, AL. 


    He married his wife, Carrie, packed their belongings, and moved to the coast.  


    Dr. McLemore's many interests include his great love for mission work, including mission trips to Russia and Ukraine.
