Meet Our Staff

Hello. I am Dr. Matthew David Kennedy. I want to take this opportunity to share with you a very personal story of who I am and what I believe in. I was born in Michigan but spent most of my life in Arizona, where I attended Apollo High School. I have four great kids, aged 10,12,14, and 16, who attend Verrado Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. My hobbies include watching movies, weight training, and coaching my kids' soccer, basketball, and baseball teams. My family is the most important part of my life, and I want you to know that being my patient means being treated like family. My philosophy is simple and timeless: Treat others the way you want to be treated.

I am the first college graduate in my family. I am proud that I put myself through college on scholarship, graduating from Arizona State University in 1999 with a B.S. in biology. I was fortunate enough to attend the prestigious University of California San Francisco Dental School, graduating in 2003.

I knew from an early age that I wanted to be a dentist. As a child, I had numerous dental problems and had a great dentist who sparked my interest in the field. I enjoy mastering all aspects of dentistry today, staying at the forefront of the technology and gentle dentistry procedures and I take immense pride in what I have achieved.

Verrado is a special place to live, and having my practice here permits me to give my patients the time and service they need to properly and effectively get their dental issue resolved,
