Call me Dr. K.
For 23 years, I’ve helped patients reach their dental goals with precise, efficient care. I take time to understand what matters to you and bring a calm, thoughtful approach to finding the right treatment for you.
Our team takes time to listen, explain your options, and help you make informed decisions. We want you to feel comfortable asking questions and confident in the care we plan together.
I attended Marquette University for my undergraduate studies and Creighton University for dental school. Outside the office, I’m a father of five. I enjoy flying, gardening, and bringing ideas to life through woodworking, welding, and 3D printing.

We can come up with a plan together that fits your needs when bigger concerns need prompt attention.
From there, we’ll help you stay on track with regular maintenance visits. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Our team is here to guide you and answer your questions along the way.

We want you to feel comfortable. Your questions are always welcome, whether you’re wondering about a small detail or a bigger decision.
We’ll go at your pace and agree on a simple signal if you need a break. Our goal is to help you feel heard, informed, and comfortable with the care we plan together.
