What it’s like to be our patient.

From the front desk to the clinical chairs, we keep things organized and calm. Clear handoffs. Clear communication. Dentistry should feel steady, not chaotic.

Your time matters. Your comfort matters more. We slow down when you need us to. We answer every question. We pause whenever it helps. That isn’t a policy. It’s how the team was raised in this office over 40 years.

Common questions

Can I request a specific doctor?
Yes. When you call to schedule, tell us who you would like to see and we’ll book with them when their calendar allows. If your preferred doctor is booked and you need to be seen sooner, any of our three doctors can care for you.
Do you treat kids?
Yes. All three doctors see children as well as adults. We often schedule family members back-to-back when it fits your week.
Do you speak Spanish?
Our front-desk team can assist Spanish-speaking patients with scheduling and questions. Please let us know at booking so we can prepare.
Who is Dr. Robert Kitto?
Dr. Robert Kitto founded the practice. The office bears his name and continues his philosophy of conservative, trust-first care. His daughter Dr. Ashley Kitto Channer is now one of our three doctors.

Come say hi. We don’t bite.
