Get to know Dr. Channer.
Skill, warmth, and precision. Care rooted in the philosophy her father, Dr. Robert Kitto, established: conservative, honest, patient-first. Patients who feel like neighbors, friends, and family.
Dr. Channer literally grew up in this practice, watching it take shape around a philosophy of trust, conservative care, and long-term relationships. That foundation continues to guide how she practices today.
Dr. Channer is a Central Coast native. She and her husband have three children and two labradoodles. Outside the office she enjoys photography, cooking, and traveling when time allows.

What to expect as a patient.
When you see Dr. Ashley Kitto Channer, expect a calm and unhurried visit. She listens first, explains what she sees in plain language, and shows you on the chairside screen so you can see what she sees. Any treatment plan is presented with a written estimate before you decide.
If you’re anxious about the visit, tell her at the start. She adjusts pace, offers breaks, and lets numbing take full effect before any procedure begins.
