We are so fortunate to have Dr. Kennedy practicing in Gresham. She embodies clinical expertise, professionalism and the highest standards of patient care. From the moment you walk into the office you are treated as part of the family. Her passion for dentistry coupled with her genuine compassion for her patients shines through at every visit. Subsequent to 4 years of braces I underwent extensive oral surgery to correct my bite at 18 years of age. You can imagine how disappointed I was to hear I would need crowns on all of my chewing surfaces at 29 years old. I went to Dr. Kennedy for a second opinion. That was fifteen years ago and no crowns on any of my teeth as of yet! She will develop a personalized treatment plan and will review with you upon each visit. She is continuously upgrading her office with the newest technological equipment and advancements. All of her staff are thoroughly trained professionals who reflect her deep commitment to patient care. She is absolutely amazing with children. I would not take my daughter anywhere else. My daughter actually gets excited and looks forward to her check ups with Dr. Kennedy. She motivated my daughter to start flossing on her own at 7 years old! You will never feel rushed in her office. She will take as much time as you need whether discussing treatment options or ensuring youre comfortable with any and all procedures. Dr. Kennedy is truly a consummate professional. I cant imagine going anywhere else.

Dr. Kennedy has been my familys dentist for over 3 years. I have really never loved a dental office more. My elementary school age children no longer dread going to the dentist, regardless of the fact that they have had to have teeth extracted and cavities filled. Dr. Kennedy is dedicated to no pain dentistry (or at least as little as humanly possible). All of the office staff is efficient, friendly and dedicated. I often feel that I am just visiting friends, who happen to have dental tools in their hands. I also appreciate the feeling that everyone is respected and welcome. It is a true family dentistry practice. They have recently remodeled the office so that it is wheelchair accessible. I have a power chair that tilts back so I was able to have my teeth cleaned today without transferring to the dental chair! If you have a chair that doesnt tilt, you can get it close enough to transfer into the chair. The bathrooms in the building are also ADA accessible for wheelchair users. If you need dental care and youre in a wheelchair, this dental office is a rare gem. If youre not in a chair, this office is a rare gem. Youre not even going to want to make excuses not to have your teeth cleaned.

I can confidently say that I will never look for a new dentist as long as Dr. Kennedy is working! She listened to me, she checked all my teeth, the muscles in my jaw which are stressed from clenching, she checked me for oral cancer and had such a gentle touch. Rhonda, her dental assistant was careful and made me feel very well cared for. She gave me a pillow right away and then offered a blanket when I said I was cold. I really like the atmosphere and how good she was with my kids. I was unsure of how my kids would react to having their first fillings and it was such a positive experience. One of my kiddos is extremely wiggly in the chair and both the hygienist and Dr. Kennedy worked around him to get his care done while he wiggles! With healthcare in general, I feel that providers sometimes rely on me to understand and tell them what I need. With Dr. Kennedy, I feel SHE takes care of me! I had never had someone actually take the time to see which muscles are stressed to determine if I need a bite guard. My next visit will include checking if these muscles are getting worse and/or if I need a guard. Im really happy with my choice. I now know why she was number one in her class.

I’ve been coming here for many, many years and have always had a great experience. I have always been insecure about my teeth because, regrettably, when I was in my late teens I made some poor choices that affected the appearance and condition of my teeth, mainly my upper teeth. I didn’t smile much because of how they looked and I was too ashamed to ask what I could do to make them look better. It affected my social life and my personal life by giving me a complex. I am now 31 years old and last week I sent an email to Dr. Kennedy because I was too embarrassed to ask in person what could be done to my teeth. I was hinting towards getting some sort of prosthesis for my teeth since I figured that was the only solution. Little did I know there was a process called bonding. I had no idea what it really was but I trusted the staff here and let them do their magic on me. The end result was very emotional for me because when I looked at what Dr Kennedy had done, it made me a new person visually and emotionally. Thank you so much for all you have done and for your friendly attitudes Dr. Kennedy and staff!!!

This sounds cheesy but for the first time in my life, I actually look forward to going to the dentist. Interfacing with the front desk staff is a breeze; they have anticipated my needs and gone above and beyond for me time and time again. They answer questions, interface with my insurance, and (though it embarrasses me to admit, since Im an adult) comforted me--WITHOUT JUDGING--when I was scared about getting a root canal. Dr. Kennedy and her wonderful assistant Rhonda always take the time to explain whats going on before they get started. They do fantastic work and I appreciate feeling like a person and not a prisoner during a procedure thats happening in my mouth. Their dedication to my comfort is so refreshing. Thank you. Dr. Kennedy and her team of dental care professionals will always be my and my husbands first choice for dental care. Their thoughtfulness, caring, and honesty set them above everyone else. Dr. Kennedy and her fantastic staff are a joy: not only do they complete their work quickly and professionally, but they do it with a smile--which makes me smile, too.

I’m not a big fan of going to see the dentist (who is?), but the welcoming manner and professionalism I’ve experienced over the past several years from Dr. Kennedy and her staff have put me at ease during my dental appointments. I rarely have to wait, if at all, for my appointment to begin, even though it is usually near the end of the day. Dr. Kennedy and her staff are courteous and take the time to answer my questions thoroughly (sometimes I ask a lot of questions). They are also very personable and will make you crack a smile. Of the dentists I’ve had over the years, Dr. Kennedy has been the biggest advocate of simple and inexpensive preventative dental care that I can do on my own at home. I’ve taken Dr. Kennedy’s advice and have noticed definite improvement in my dental issue since I transferred to her practice. Dr. Kennedy wants you to avoid costly and painful dental issues in the future. This viewpoint speaks volumes of Dr. Kennedy’s commitment to providing the best dental care for her patients.
