ABOUT ME
Dr. Kisling says, “I am excited to be apart of their smile journey and I thank you for choosing me to be your doctor! I enjoy getting to know each of my patients. After all, straightening your teeth takes time and you have to be seen at regular intervals. Therefore, you develop long lasting relationships with your patients and I enjoy seeing the evolution their growth as they gain confidence.”

“I originally wanted to become an Orthodontist because before I had braces, I was shy and timid. When I got my braces off, I developed into the person I am today, I became confident, social, and finding any reason to smile. Self-esteem is so important in your developmental years, and I wanted to give both adolescence and adults the same reason to smile.”

After graduating from the UC Irvine, Dr. Kisling received her Dental Degree from the UCLA University School of Dentistry and her Orthodontic Certificate from the Georgia School of Orthodontics. She’s a member of the American Associations of Orthodontics.

Dr. Kisling says, “I love to travel, cook, exercise, and spend time with my family and friends.”
