Care Philosophy
My intention is to try and treat everyone as I would like to be treated. My time is best spent diagnosing my patients and effectively implementing the care and treatment that the patient truly desires... I honestly wish to do no more and no less dentistry than what the patient wants me to do.
We attempt always to be good listeners, and to distance ourselves from the "cookie cutter" or "mill" approach, which we see in many dental offices today..
Having said that, it is of particular pride and satisfaction (and humbleness) when we can reflect on a patient that has chosen for health and (or) esthetic reasons, to enter into comprehensive restorative care, and make a helpful change, improving the quality of life of the patient...

-Jeremy Goodwin, MS, MD in Ashland , OR | Jun 16, 2017
I have been seeing Michael R. Kempf, DDS for dental care since late 2011-early 2012. He has replaced old fillings, added new and very challenging ones, whitened my teeth and cleaned them regularly. He has also performed minor oral surgery on a deciduous tooth that somehow lasted over half a century. There are indeed many other dentists locally yet I steadfastly refuse to try them. There is no need. Dr. Kempf has provided me the highest level of care of any dentist I have seen in the U.K. or USA

Dr. Kempf is an artist working with teeth. His personal care from cleaning (which he does himself), getting the bite just right, and all other dental work is professional. I like his common sense approach as well as the friendly and fun atmosphere.

I've been a patient of Dr. Kempf since I retired to Ashland 6 years ago...he is beyond great with his dental skills and chair-side manners. His assistant, Sandy, is fantastic and helps you feel at ease when you see this gigantic needle approaching from your peripheral vision! My husband is also a client of Dr. Kempf and we both highly recommend him to everyone.

I can highly recommend Dr. Kempf in his practice of modern, painless dentistry. He and his staff are knowledgeable and efficient. Plus he has a good, if quirky, sense of humor. When was the last time you actually laughed while sitting in a dentist chair? Well, that's Michael for you.

Dr. Kempf is a wonderful dentist! I've been going to his office for about 10 years, and couldn't be happier with his thorough and professional care of my dental needs. The atmosphere of the the office is very congenial and friendly. Also, his dental assistant and hygienist Sandy is a treasure; they make a great team! I enjoy going to his office; it always feels like I'm going to visit good friends.
