How to Find Us from UVA Grounds

The Short Version

Willis & Associates Family Dentistry Ivy is at 2216 Ivy Rd #205, Charlottesville, VA 22903 — on Route 250 (Ivy Road), about 8 minutes west of UVA Grounds. From most of Grounds it is essentially one road: University Avenue becomes Ivy Road, and you simply follow it west. We offer free on-site parking, so there is no circling the block.

From Central Grounds or the Corner

  • Start on University Avenue heading west, with the Rotunda behind you.
  • Continue straight as University Avenue becomes Ivy Road (US-250 W) — no turns needed.
  • You will pass the St. Anne's-Belfield school area on your left, a good landmark that you are on track.
  • Shortly after, you will cross the US-250/29 interchange — keep straight on Ivy Road (US-250 W).
  • About 8 minutes from Grounds, look for 2216 Ivy Rd on your right. We are in Suite 205.

If you hit rolling countryside and the Ivy Depot area, you have gone a touch far — turn around and we are just back toward town.

From Barracks Road

  • From the Barracks Road Shopping Center area, head south on Emmet Street (US-29 S).
  • Follow signs for US-250 W / Ivy Road at the interchange.
  • Merge onto Ivy Road heading west and continue a few minutes.
  • 2216 Ivy Rd is on the right — Suite 205.

From I-64

  • Take Exit 114 for US-250 toward Ivy/Charlottesville.
  • Head east on US-250 (Ivy Road) toward Charlottesville.
  • Continue a few minutes east; 2216 Ivy Rd will be on your left as you approach town.

Parking and Arrival

Park in the free on-site lot and come up to Suite 205. If you are a new patient, arriving about ten minutes early gives you time to finish any remaining paperwork — or knock it out ahead of time via our first visit page. Running late or can't find us? Call (434) 977-4101 and our front office will talk you in. We are open Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Why Patients Make the Short Drive

Eight minutes from Grounds puts us close enough for a between-classes cleaning but outside the campus parking scrum — a trade UVA students and employees tend to appreciate. Students can find coverage, scheduling, and wisdom-teeth guidance in our UVA student dental guide, and there is more about how we serve the University community on our UVA and the Corner page.

And if you are headed our way because something hurts, call ahead — we offer same-day emergency visits, and our emergency care page plus our guide to when to seek immediate care can help you judge how urgent things are while you are en route.
