Vanessa Campbell
DDS, FAGD
Dr. Campbell began her dental career in her home state of Michigan at the age of 16, working as an orthodontic assistant for her childhood orthodontist. She is a 2005 graduate of the University of Detroit-Mercy School of Dentistry, where she earned both her bachelor’s degree and doctorate in a six-year accelerated program. She is the recipient of the Academy of Operative Dentistry Award, the American Society of Dentistry for Children Award, and the Russell W. Bunting Study Club Award. After working in Raleigh as an associate, she decided to open her private practice in Holly Springs in 2010. Since then, she has enjoyed working in and being a part of the small but growing community.
Dr. Campbell is a strong believer in lifelong learning and takes anywhere from 50 – 100 hours of continuing education each year. She has had extensive training in reconstructive and cosmetic restorative dentistry and has been very involved in organizing continuing education events through the North Carolina Academy of General Dentistry. In 2013, she received her Fellowship from the Academy of General Dentistry, a designation only achieved by 6% of general dentists.
Dr. Campbell and her husband Ryan met in the pep band at UDM. They enjoy traveling, hiking, music, and playing with their sons, Benjamin and Desmond. They also have a dog, Hulk. When she is not working, Dr. Campbell enjoys yoga, knitting, and cooking for her family. She is fluent in Spanish and a member of the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce.
“I love being able to give patients confidence in a new smile. I feel so lucky that I get to be in a profession that blends art and science in a way that helps me take care of people. General dentistry allows me to get creative in finding the best solutions for my patients, no matter their situation.”
Megan K. Farrelly

Dr. Farrelly was born in Wyoming and raised in central Pennsylvania. She graduated from Duke University, where she earned a B.S. in Biological Anthropology & Anatomy and a B.A. in German. She played midfield for Duke’s varsity soccer team and was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to conduct neurobiological research at the Otto-von-Guericke Institute in Germany. After graduating cum laude in 2007 from Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine, where she received a National Health Service Corps Scholarship, she worked with underserved communities in Northampton and Bertie Counties in North Carolina. She has also participated with North Carolina’s Missions of Mercy, which provides free dental services for the disadvantaged.
Dr. Farrelly spent several years in practice in Rocky Mount, NC. She pursues extensive training in restorative, cosmetic, and CAD/CAM and laser dentistry, and has completed the Advanced Dental Training program at the prestigious Pankey Institute. Since 2020, Dr. Farrelly and her brother invented and own the patent for Shade Matching and Localized Laboratory Aesthetics for Restorative Dentistry. She is an active member of the Spear, Seattle, and local Synergy Study Clubs and particularly enjoys taking courses alongside her partner, Dr. Campbell!
Dr. Farrelly loves following men’s and women’s soccer, practicing German, playing her viola and ukelele, and doing arts and crafts. She and her husband have three children and enjoy spending time together as a family, playing fetch with their rescue dog, Sneezy, and exploring local restaurants.
“My Mom and Dad always encouraged me to find something in life that I would enjoy and be challenged by year in and year out. Dentistry found me. It is an extremely demanding guild that is changing every year, constantly asking more from me from a clinical, technical, and emotional level; this allows me to deliver my very best for all of my patients. It is a privilege to be a part of such a fantastic team that strives toward excellence in taking care of our community’s oral health needs.”

Haley
Practice Manager
Haley was born and raised in the Indianapolis, Indiana, area, where she faithfully served in the state judiciary for 21 years. After her two eldest children graduated high school, one joined the U.S. Army Reserves as a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Specialist while simultaneously attending Purdue’s College of Engineering, and the other is active duty with the U.S. Air Force’s Security Forces.
Haley and her husband decided it was time to move to the Raleigh-Durham area to be closer to family, with their youngest enjoying the peripheral benefit of his grandparents’ recent retirements.
During her tenure with the Indiana State Judiciary, Haley earned her bachelor’s degree in public administration and climbed the organization ladder from working as a Court Clerk to ultimately serving as the Office Manager and Lead Court Reporter for a well-respected state judge.
She started her career in the dental field at the UNC Dental Faculty Practice as the Operations Manager before she joined the Campbell & Farrelly Cosmetic & Family Dentistry team as the Practice Administrator.
In Haley’s free time, she loves to enjoy the scenery of North Carolina’s beaches and mountains, cooking and baking, and spending time with her family and friends, including their 113-pound German Shepherd.
