Patients often comment about how much we really seem to love our jobs and how well we all work together. To those patients and to you, I will say that all it takes is a team that has pride and excitement in providing a great patient experience as well as practicing an exceptional quality of dentistry. We take great pride in serving Fayetteville and our surrounding communities.

Upon entering our office, you will be greeted and welcomed by name seemingly as more of a friend than a patient. Once you have arrived, you will not just hear the echo of dental drills or that dental office smell that you are accustomed to, but the sound of laughter from our girls (who love a good story or joke) and a scent that is much more pleasing and relaxing. You will likely be offered a drink and have something to read while you wait, although you can be assured that you will be seen on time and will not have to experience a long wait.

In a world that is schedule driven, we know that our patients' time is valuable. For this reason, it is not our goal to see a record number of patients in a day, but to provide you with the greatest quality of personalized care. We schedule our patients in a way that allows us to serve them more adequately and efficiently. Once you are in a room, we have the opportunity of getting to know you on a deeper level. Whether your concerns are health, comfort, fear, or that smile makeover, our priority is to develop a relationship with you so that we can give you the best we have to offer. It is our philosophy that you not only leave here with your needs or wants met, but that you leave here educated about your dental health to give you a better quality of life.

While it is not only our job to solve your dental needs and educate you to gain better dental health, we also feel that it is important that we have someone available to walk you through the process. Our treatment room allows you the privacy to discuss your dental treatment options with us from scheduling your treatments to discussing finances or other concerns that you may have.

Upon leaving our office, we hope that we have provided you with an answer to all your questions. We hope that we have customized a way to best fit your needs or wants and have given you a great patient experience with an exceptional quality of care. We also hope that you leave here with a better understanding of dentistry in a way to create a better quality of life for you and your family.

I was born in Missouri and lived there until about age 13, when I moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas. I believe it was there that I first became interested in dentistry. I have always loved science and people, so dentistry was a natural connection between the two.

In 1995, I graduated from Southside High School and then enrolled in the University of Arkansas, where I graduated with a B.S. in biology in 1999. After college I was accepted into the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry and graduated in 2003. After dental school, I did a one-year residency that specialized in and focused on high quality general dentistry (AEGD).

While in Tennessee, I met my wife Claire while she was in Physical Therapy school. We were married in 2004 in her hometown of Dyersburg, TN, and then moved back to northwest Arkansas. I worked in an orthodontic office and a general dental office in the area. In the summer of 2006, Dr. Broyles asked me to join him in his dental practicein Fayetteville, Arkansas.

I absolutely love dentistry and regularly take over one hundred hours per year of continuing education. This is five times the amount required by the state licensing committee. I am a member of and have been studying at The Kois Center of Excellence in Seattle since 2008. I am also a member of the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Arkansas State Dental Association (ASDA). Additionally, I am the President of the Academy of Interdisciplinary Dentofacial Therapy (AIDT) and I volunteer at the Fayetteville Free Health Center.

When I'm not studying, I really enjoy spending time with my wife and our three children, Kate, Kinley, and Nicholas. They are the absolute joys in our lives. Besides family and church, we enjoy going to Razorback football, basketball and baseball games. Other hobbies of ours include hiking and canoeing.

I am originally from Eastern Arkansas and grew up in Marion. I attended college at Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee, where I graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. While in college, I met my husband Matt, who is a native of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

I spent my next 4 years in Louisville, KY, attending the University Of Louisville School Of Dentistry, where I earned my DMD degree. While in school, I spent a summer doing an internship in Cherokee, North Carolina, working with Indian Health Services. During my senior year at ULSD, I was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, a National Dental Honor Society who selects students that have shown exemplary character, leadership, and scholarship.

After dental school, I was accepted into a one-year residency program (AEGD) that brought me to Northwest Arkansas. I completed this residency at the dental clinic in the Fayetteville VA hospital, where I had the privilege of serving our nations veterans. My program provided lots of additional clinical experience, from dentures to crowns to oral surgery.

I have fallen in love with this part of the state, and I am happy NWA is now my home! Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my husband and little girl, Ella. I also enjoy baking, traveling, and all Razorback sports (even though my husband is a Tennessee fan!). We also have a fun time playing Frisbee with our miniature schnauzer, Silas.

I was born in Northwest Arkansas but had the opportunity to live in Texas for a good portion of my life. My husband and I have been back in this area since 2005, and we are enjoying what NWA has to offer.

I graduated from the Paris Junior College Dental Assistant Program in 2005, and I have been working with Dr. Kifer ever since. I enjoy working at Northwest Arkansas Family Dental but also spending time with all the women I work with.

My husband, Cody, and I have been married since 2006; we were blessed with our beautiful daughter, Laney, in June of 2011. We love the peaceful country life with all of our animals and spending time with family and friends.

I moved to Northwest Arkansas from Little Rock in 2008, when my husband was transferred with his job. I have been in the dental field since 2004 and I love it! I went into dentistry thinking I wanted to assist but soon realized how much I enjoyed being the first person the patients are greeted by or talk to on the phone.

Outside of the office, most of my free time is spent with my husband and daughter (who keeps me very busy). I enjoy reading, spending time with family, and shopping. Most of all, I feel very blessed to work with such a great group of people who make a difference in people's lives every day.

I am originally from Texas, but have lived in Fayetteville since 2012. I originally moved to Fayetteville to pursue my degree in Communications at the University of Arkansas, but I have since fallen in love with the area and cannot imagine living anywhere else. My wife and I spend our free time exploring everything NWA has to offer and we are constantly finding something new around every corner.

I was born and raised in Dyersburg, Tennessee. I attended Union University for my undergraduate studies. I then went to the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center where I received my Masters of Physical Therapy degree. This is where I met Wade. We were married in 2004 and moved to NWA. We have three children Kate, Kinley, and Nicholas. I have worked with children of all ages and I am excited to bring my skill set to Northwest Arkansas Family Dental.

When Wade started learning about the role of dentistry in growth and development, I took an immediate interest in it. Having three young children and working in the pediatric population as a physical therapist I saw many of the issues he was describing from his studies. I have taken several training courses and am now trained in myofunctional therapy. I am excited to bring these skills as well as my physical therapy training to offer our patients another area of care.

I was born in Portsmouth, VA and had the opportunity to live in several cities along the east coast while my dad was in the Navy.

Growing up in Parsons, KS and Springfield, MO; I relocated to Arkansas in 2015. After residing in Bella Vista and Rogers I landed in Fayetteville in 2020. I attended Missouri Southern State University and graduated from the Dental Hygiene school in 2018 where I also earned my Bachelors of Science in Health Science. I immediately knew that dental hygiene was a career that would perfectly suit the hard-working and nurturing aspects of my personality, and it became my passion (along with my other passion: being a dog mom to my two dogs, Nestle and Dexter).When Im not playing or walking with my dogs, I enjoy cooking, painting and singing.

I have greatly enjoyed the Fayetteville area so far, and Im very excited to get to explore it more and meet new people here. The patients and staff at NWA Family Dentist have been amazing to work with so far and Im looking forward to providing thorough, supportive, and satisfying oral and total health care.

I moved to Kingston, AR in May 2021 with my husband, Kyle, and 2 daughters, Chandler and Logan. We are loving it here in NWA. We enjoy swimming, hiking, and reading together.
