Meet the Doctors

This is where you show off why patients should trust you. Education is the number one way to build confidence in perspective patients. Accreditations, associations, and other learning certificates further instill trust. Other things that help make patients believe you are the right choice are things like family, hobbies, community involvement, and fun quirks about your personality. Be yourself and don’t overthink it. (400-550 characters)

The dentists, hygienists and staff at Kirkwood Dentistry are the best I’ve ever been to. I drive 35 minutes just to come to them. They are head and shoulders above the rest and give that little extra bit of a personal touch each time I'm there.

Since my regular hygienist (whom I like) was out in medical leave, I had Chelsea clean/examine my teeth today. She was great... very thorough yet gentle and very personable!
