The Doctors
Meet Your Dentists
Dr. Michael Kirk
Dr. Kirk was born in southeastern Oklahoma, grew up in Tulsa, and has lived in Oklahoma City for the past 25 years.
"The absolute best part about being a dentist is the opportunity to really get to know those we serve. The relationships that I have been fortunate enough to develop with my patients over the past 15 or so years is priceless."
"Balance is important to me. Living a healthy lifestyle, spending time with my wife, daughter and two young sons and taking time to be grateful are part of my daily routine."
"Being outdoors whether doing yard work, enjoying an afternoon football game, or fishing a mountain stream is a big part of who I am. When I designed our office, large windows with a Zen garden view in every treatment room were the first order of business.”
An Outstanding Education
"Education is a continual process of learning. I am constantly learning new techniques and expanding my training. I am always asking questions and looking at old problems in new ways."

Dr. Janice Henry
Dr. Henry was born in Perrysburg, Ohio, grew up in California, and has lived in Oklahoma City for the past 23 years.
"Dentistry is wonderful profession because we get to see our patients at least twice annually which has allowed me to build great personal relationships over the years. Our patients become our friends.”
"As much time as possible, I like to spend enjoying and participating in the Arts. Singing in Windsong Chamber Choir for the past 12 years, serving on the Oklahoma Arts Council and photographing my 7 grandchildren are some of the activities that keep me happily busy outside the office."
An Outstanding Education
“I am a continuing education addict, acquiring over 300 hours in the past few years. I love learning new techniques to allow my patients more treatment options to meet their needs.”

Dr. Nathan Proud
Dr. Proud was born in Northern Alberta, Canada, and has lived in the Oklahoma City area for the past two years.
“I knew when I chose the profession of dentistry I would have a job where most people would not be happy to see me, some may even dread it. My personal goal with every patient is to have a positive experience at the dentist and that over time, they will enjoy coming to the dentist. Having a painless visit at the dentist is great place to start.”
“Loma Linda University School of Dentistry’s motto is - Service is Our Calling - and I try to live up to that on both a local and international level. I have enjoyed participating in the Oklahoma Mission of Mercy as it gives me an opportunity to serve my fellow Oklahomans. I have had the privilege of going to Guatemala and Peru in the past look forward to many future dental trips to areas of need.”
“An active and healthy lifestyle is an important part of my life. Playing sports, running and working out at the gym have always been favorite pastimes of mine. My wife and I enjoy taking an active role in our local church ministries.”

An Outstanding Education
“Loma Linda University School of Dentistry provided an excellent education. However, nothing prepares you for being a dentist better than working professionally. I have been in a professional practice since 2009 and I have seen thousands of patients. I really enjoy getting to know people and caring for them. My patients are very important to me.”
“I believe in staying current with the ever changing practices of dentistry. I am an avid journal reader and like to stay up to date on all the latest materials and techniques in the world of dentistry.”

"The most enjoyable and rewarding part of dentistry is the relationships I've developed with my patients and the people I work with every day. I enjoy taking care of patients of all ages. Dentistry is very rewarding to me. I just love it when a patient leaves my chair with a smile and feels good."
class="imgborder""Family is a big part of who I am as a person. I was one of eight kids and I have so many fond memories growing up in a constant state of flux. Today I am trying to teach my kids the social and spiritual values that my parents instilled in me. My wonderful and beautiful wife, DeAnne, and I are blessed with five wonderful healthy children. Our friends and family know that if we aren't working, going to church, or at one of our kids sporting events, then we are sleeping."
