Dr. Kimberly Forney earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Tufts University in her native city of Boston, MA. To further refine and expand her repertoire she completed a post-graduate residency in general practice dentistry at Bronx Lebanon Hospital in Bronx, NY. Endodontics had been a keen interest to Dr. Forney since her early days of undergraduate dental school. While in general practice this endodontic inclination matured to a focused passion. Dr. Forney then went on to receive her specialty training in Endodontics at Rutgers University in New Jersey. She practiced in a multi doctor private endodontic practice in New Jersey up until moving west in 2019.
Dr. Forney believes that compassionate care combined with exceptional technical skill is central to superlative care. She strives to make every patient's experience as pleasant as possible from diagnosis to treatment completion.
Dr. Forney is a member of the American Association of Endodontics, California Dental Association, and the California State Association of Endodontists. She is a regular attendant at educational symposiums.
In her free time, Dr. Forney is thrilled to spend time with her best friend and husband, Ryan, and their exceptionally adorable children, Marigold and Beau. She also greatly enjoys as many full days on the beach as possible, basking in nature, running, reading well written books, and traveling.
