Outside of dentistry, Dr. Kirby enjoys spending time on the lake and stays very busy with outdoor activities. On any given afternoon you will likely find Dr. Kirby and his large, very friendly chocolate lab named Jaxon at the dog beach!
A few words from Dr. Kirby:
“The care I received as a child from my pediatric dentist helped shape my future; giving me the tools to apply healthy oral hygiene habits at an early age and contributed to the self-confidence that comes with a healthy smile. Receiving the treatment that I did as a kid had a transformative effect on my life and afforded me opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise. My goal as a pediatric dentist is to pass that gift onward to others. I stand committed to seeing the positive change in children’s view of going to the dentist and my favorite part of the job is seeing an anxious patient become more confident, relaxed, and excited for the next visit.”
