I was born and raised in Southeastern Michigan. I completed my undergraduate degree in Health Sciences from Kalamazoo College in 1998 and graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. I have worked in family practice dental offices since graduation. I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry including cosmetic, restorative, root canals, crown and bridge, pediatric dentistry, dentures and extractions.
Of the interests I have outside of the office, the biggest is family. I have been married to my husband, KC, for over 10 years. We are blessed with 3 boys. We currently live in White Lake, but hope to move here in the future. We want to be active participants in your community. Im also very involved with animal rescue. We have a small farm and love to be surrounded by animals. We have dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, tortoise and fish. If you like to talk about animals, Im your gal.
It is one of our top priorities to protect the well-being of our valued patients. For this reason, our office meets and surpasses all OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and CDC (Center for Disease Control) standards. We are confident that you will feel right at home in our office as we welcome all patients as if they were family.
We will be more than happy to submit all insurance forms for you and help you recover the most from your benefits. We will do everything we can to help you afford the treatment you need and want. For patients who require major work, a complete payment plan is designed with an appropriate payment schedule. Forms of payment accepted by the office are check, cash, or any major credit card.

I must thank Tracy Boettcher Miller for telling me about RK Family Dental. It turned out to be the best experience in a dental office I have ever had. The Staff made you completely at ease. Tiffany, my hygienist, told me what she would be doing and this was amazing. The trust of not hurting during cleaning is one of my check marks for excellence. Tiffany passed with flying stars! Dr. Kirkpatrick gave me the feeling I had known her for years. I never say I love my dentist but Dr. K is planning on me to say it in the future. I must say she seems very persuasive. Thank you so much for today. Clean teeth with no problems. Blessings to everyone that spoke to me today at your office.

The best dentist and hygienist I've ever had. Super friendly, no judgement, and just authentically wants to see you have healthy teeth. Billing is great and works with your insurance to figure everything out, no headaches for me! Love going to RK!

Great first visit! I was having a hard time finding a dentist that was accepting new patients and used nitrous. The people here are great! Dr Kirkpatrick was so kind and down to earth. I've never been so happy with a dentist. I was going to be charged at another place $593 for three services two of which I didn't need. I was charged $143 for the two fillings she said I needed. Again beyond happy with my new office!

Absolutely love them! I am the type to avoid going to the dentist, but after finding RK my fears are minimal. Dr. Kirkpatrick is so kind and down to earth. Everyone in the office that I have encountered in my two visits this past month have been absolutely wonderful. They care about you and your wallet

Honestly the best dentist I have ever been too. My hygienist, Sara, was amazing. I haven't been to the dentist in years, and she was so diligent and gentle. My teeth are so clean now. I had a filling done by Dr krikpatrick and Amy, it was painless. I highly recommend.
