This place is the best! It's like a big happy family into which you are instantly adopted the moment you step through the door. As an acupuncturist and holistic medicine practitioner, I am a discerning critic of most medical businesses — it takes a lot to win my trust. But I have complete faith that my daughter is in the best hands here. They won't let me walk out the door until all of my questions are answered, and the expression on my face communicates 100% satisfaction. They have invested their time and energy into decades of research, education, and building relationships. They bridge distinct fields of science and medicine to create a complete and integrated picture of the human body rather than the common practice of treating the mouth as independent and separate from the rest of our anatomy. It is precisely this integrated technique that won me over. That and their Beatles obsession.

Dr. Kevin Boyd, MS, DDS

Board Certified Pediatric Dentist

Prior to receiving his specialty license in pediatric dentistry from the University of Iowa, he earned an MSc degree from Michigan State University in Human Nutrition and Dietetics. His graduate research interests centered around the impact of commercially-processed foods on dental health and body weight. His Nutrition background has served as a great foundation for the specialty practice of Pediatric Dentistry given that many oral health problems are often associated with unhealthy eating; dental caries (cavities) and early periodontal (gum) inflammation (gingivitis) are two of the most common problems associated with unhealthy snacking behaviors.

Dr. Boyd has extensive training and clinical experience in performing risk assessment, diagnosing, and treating very young children who present with non-self-correcting malocclusions with possibly-associated sleep and breathing difficulties.   

He lectures worldwide on the topics of Early Childhood Malocclusion (under 72 months), pediatric sleep breathing hygiene, and the newly emerging healthcare discipline of Evolutionary Oral Medicine, also often called Darwinian Dentistry.  

He is married and has two adult daughters. When not working, he enjoys tennis, skiing and sailing.
