Getting to Know the Doc
What inspired you to pursue a career in dentistry?
After participating in multiple international dental volunteer trips, I realized how
big of an educational gap there is between the patient and provider. I believe
that almost all treatment in dentistry is preventable and could have been seized
with early educational intervention. Most people aren’t educated on how to
properly care for their teeth in order to prevent cavities, infection, and pain. I
have loved educating my patients on the best at-home practices to highlight the importance and hopefully prevent future problems.
How do you help nervous patients feel more comfortable in the chair?
I best connect with my patients by listening to their emotional treasure and
dominant motive for seeking care. This open communication allows patients to
understand my clinical reasoning while empowering them to make the decision
that best suits their individual needs. By taking the time to explain the “why”
behind their care, I am able to build trust and create a stronger connection with
my patients. Ultimately, establishing this rapport helps patients feel heard,
informed, and comfortable throughout their dental experience.
The Heart Behind the Hands
Do you have a favorite local restaurant or hidden gem in town?
Living in Atlanta, there are countless incredible restaurants that we have to
choose from. Even though we are still discovering the area, some of our favorite
spots so far have been; Iberian Pig, Fudo, and Del Bar to name a few. We love
trying new spots so please recommend your favorite restaurants next time you
come in!
Favorite vacation spot or dream destination?
One of my favorite trips to date was visiting Banff, Canada, during the winter. My
best friend and I spent our days hiking through the Canadian Rockies,
surrounded by snow-covered mountains, delicate snowflakes, and frozen lakes.
I had never experienced anything quite like it before, and the beauty of the
landscape made the entire trip feel magical.
What’s the most “you” thing someone could spot in your office?
I have always been someone who takes pride in being exceptionally clean and
organized. At my last office, I earned the nickname “Tornado Dr. K” because I
was constantly reorganizing drawers and storage areas, clearing out clutter, and
getting rid of items that were no longer needed.
