Our Staff
When you come to our practice, our entire team will make sure you feel welcomed and relaxed. We will immediately greet you and proceed to talk about such things as your children or a recent vacation. Prior to performing any dental treatments, Dr. Keider will spend some time getting to know you and what you hope to achieve from your visit. After an extensive or complex procedure, he will call you to see how you feel and answer any questions you may have. Why do we go to such lengths? We think the basis for personal care begins with getting to know you. Since you may feel the same way, we have included brief bios of our staff and a profile of Dr. Keider below.
