“I love getting to know each of my patients and helping them achieve their individual goals and treatment desires. Nothing makes me happier at the end of the day than making a difference in someone’s life. It is particularly rewarding watching an initially nervous and reserved patient transform into an excited, comfortable, and confident patient in our office.”
Dr. Kendra grew up in West Chester, where she graduated from Great Valley High School. For as long as she can remember, she has always known the healthcare field was in her future.
