Dr. Kevin is a lifelong resident of Lebanon, graduating from Lebanon Union High School in 1989. He then attended Oregon State University for college. He married his wife Jodi in August of 1993, before attending Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland, Oregon. Following graduation from OHSU in 1997, Dr. Kevin joined his father in dental practice in Lebanon. Dr. Kevin and Jodi have four sons, all of which reside in the area. All four are graduates from East Linn Christian Academy high school, as well as from Oregon State University. The oldest three continued on to earn their DMD’s at Oregon Health Sciences University and are practicing dentists, and their youngest son has degrees in Accountancy and Business Management. Dr. Kevin has strived persistently to maintain the same traditional family dental philosophy that his father and mother brought to Lebanon in 1975. His father is retired, but he continues that same philosophy of care practicing with his son Kody. He enjoys building and developing long lasting relationships with his patients and he believes that doing so is fundamental to providing great dental care. The modern health care model is evolving and ever-changing, but Dr. Kevin strives to provide modern services with the latest technology while still maintaining an individualized patient-centric philosophy of care. Dr. Kevin believes that spending time getting to know the patient is the cornerstone to providing positive treatment outcomes. He is confident that this approach to dental care will allow him to continue to extend outstanding service and quality treatment to his patients for years to come. Professional and Education
Outside of the OfficeDr. Kevin devotes most of his time outside of work spending time with family, including his wife and his sons and other family as much as he can. While he enjoys and takes part in many different forms of outdoor recreation, he loves his home here in the valley where he can appreciate the still somewhat slow and calm feel it has to offer. He finds relaxation in training his labrador retrievers or an evening walk on one of the hundreds of logging roads in the area. In the spring and summer months frequent visits to Green Peter Reservoir aren’t uncommon, something he’s been accustomed to since his high school years. Most often though, he enjoys the simplicity of relaxing at his home and spending time with his wife.       |
