HI, I'M DR. REYNOLDS

I'M HOPING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF AND MY VALUES WITH YOU

PRACTICE VALUES

What You Can Expect From Me

PATIENT PHILOSOPHY

Patient-centered healthcare is a high priority. I believe in honest, quality dental work. Patients deserve the right to hear all the treatment options and should have the autonomy to choose what treatment they will receive. While I will give my recommendation on what treatment to follow, I will listen to the patient and we'll come to a conclusion together.

DENTAL TEAM PHILOSOPHY

Alone we can do so little but together we can do so much. I believe that every member of the team should be heard and valued. My dental team comes first. The goal is to build trust and a positive work environment where every team member can feel comfortable and have a home away from home.

CLINICAL PHILOSOPHY

Dentistry is always changing. I believe in being on the forefront of research and development. However, I will never neglect the tried and true methods backed by time. My goal is to provide patients with the best treatment options and techniques available through minimally-invasive dentistry.

ABOUT ME

I'm the type of person that values freedom, traditional views and good people. This has taken me to various places but recently it has taken me back to the Midwest. I was raised in Dewey, OK and grew to love the people and the culture. After being gone many years, I've had the opportunity to return to the area and to practice in a field that I love. I'm very excited about the chance to set down roots here and to be a part of this wonderful community.

I hope you will take the time to browse through this personal page to explore how much education, CE, trainings, podcasts, books, and externship opportunities I have taken advantage of to prepare myself the very best to be a dentist that contributes to the great community of Independence, KS.
