I love seeing people happy with their smiles and knowing I played a role in that happiness. It is an honor and a great responsibility to be trusted with a persons oral health. Some of the most rewarding moments are when someone is scared, but we are able to gain their trust and take care of their oral health needs. Communication and making sure a patient understands what we are doing arecrucial to building trust, regardless of their age.

My passion is to make a true difference in my patients lives, as well as in the lives of my staff. I hope to you meet you and your family soon, and welcome you into the Main andPalmer Family Dentistry family.

A native of Kansas, I graduated magna cum laude from MidAmerica Nazarene University with my bachelors degree, and attended UMKC School of Dentistry for my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. In 2009, I returned to my wife Courtneys hometown area to join Dr. Grant Larkin in practice.

My wife Courtney and I have been married for more than a decade. We have four wonderful children. I like spending time with my family, whether swinging my kids, swimming with my daughter, or just watching movies with my wife. I also enjoy hunting, fishing, and golf.

Outside of the dental practice, I am extremely active in my church. I am a board member, greeter, childrens church teacher, and small group leader. I enjoy coaching youth sports teams through Garden City Family YMCA and the Garden City Recreation Commission, including baseball, T-ball, basketball, football, and soccer. I also serve on the advisory board for Colby Community Colleges dental hygiene program.

Hello. Thank you for showing interest in our dental practice. I have been practicing dentistry for more than 15 years and it still excites me. I enjoy the problem-solving aspect, the evolving technology, and the satisfaction of helping people be healthier and happier. Most of all, I enjoy the connections that are made with so many wonderful people.

I was raised in a small community,so I recognize the benefits and appreciate the lifestyle. One of those benefits is building long-term relationships with families and individuals. It is fun seeing kids light up when I tell them that I also get to take care of their grandparents. It is also enjoyable for me to know people on a more personal level, where we know a little about each others hobbies and interests, and I am more than just their dentist.

Dentistry is crucial to our overall health. Too often, I see people who do not fully understand the importance of regular care or have postponed it for various reasons to the point they feel embarrassed or hopeless. Some are simply afraid because of past experiences. Unfortunately, when our oral health is suffering, it affects our systemic and emotional health, which compounds the problem.

My general goal has two parts: First, to help children at the earliest ages have positive experiences so they enjoy visiting the dentist and have a lifetime of oral health and happiness. Second, to help adults of all ages to overcome bad past experiences or self-neglect, and to become and remain healthy through the natural changes and sometimes challenging factors associated with age.

I grew up in northern Utah but have also lived in California and Nova Scotiabefore moving to Kansas in 2009. I met my incredible wife Amber way back in high school. We have four wonderful children:Alivia, Ashton, Logan, and Lucas. Our favorite sports are basketball, tennis, and running. We also enjoy hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, and all things Disney.

Hi there. My name is Victoria Guzman. I am a new graduate and am excited to start my career where I grew up. As a young girl, being a dentist was always my dream career. Not having visited the dentist until I was 17 years old created a genuine pull towardthe profession.

One of my favorite things about dentistry is the before and after. Whether it is getting someone out of pain or fixing a front tooth, having patients leave with a confident healthy smile is so wonderful to see.

As a healthcare provider, I am committed to empowering patient treatment decisions through education and a compassionate ear. I enjoy using new technology like intraoral cameras and CEREC scan imaging because it gives patients a chance to be a part of their treatment and see what I see.

In an ever-changing field, there are fundamentals that I stand by when treating patients. Most importantis the preservation and maintenance of oral health as it relates to overall well-being. Secondly, every treatment plan made has the end results in mind. It can be overwhelming when dental issues pile up and pain and finances are involved, but I find if the time is taken to listen to the goals of the individual, the next steps become clearer.

Outside of the office, I enjoy anything outdoors. Some of my hobbies include hiking, running, and more recently, skiing. I also enjoy cooking big meals for my family and competitive family game night!

Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

My 5 month old went for his first dentist visit today, and he was petrified! Screaming and wailing, etc. But man oh man are we glad we picked Main and Palmer! The dental assistant we had, Paula I think, was absolutely incredible with him! I can't imagine anyone else being better with kids. She managed to calm him down and get him engaged and even make it fun. It was a perfect first visit. Dr. Palmer (who I found out afterwards also actually found my grandpa's cancer and saved his life) was also very good and informative. Couldn't be happier with the whole thing.

I came from Manhattan for consultation and Dr Main said since you are here let's get your tooth fixed. And I couldn't be more grateful. And honestly he was very friendly and made me feel at home. Last dentist I went to was so cold with no bedside manner. Glad I chose Main and Palmer

I'd like to say Thank you to Dr. Guzman for being there for me when I needed help. She helped me so much when I was in pain. She's very caring and understanding. She explained numerous things to me and made me feel comfortable going to the dentist again when I haven't been in years. I've had many visits here and got to see her every time over the 2021-2022 year. Although, she has moved on from the Main & Palmer Dentistry in Garden City, KS no one can replace her and how she is with her patients. She will forever be my favorite Dentist.
