Born in South Bend, Indiana and raised in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, it was only natural that she became a HUGE Notre Dame football fan and CUBS baseball fan. Upon graduating from the University of Iowa in 1987 she began working at a private practice in Wilmette, Illinois. She then had the opportunity in 1998 to move to beautiful Carmel, California and then to San Francisco in 2007 where she received her AEGD (residency) at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A Dugoni School of Dentistry San Francisco. Her career then led her to practice in Marin County, San Anselmo in 2012 and then happily to Sedona, Arizona in 2019. With over 33 years’ experience, Dr. Kindt’s desire is to create an integrated dental health experience for all her patients as a holistic, biological dentist and to become an integral part of the Sedona healthy community at large. Every patient treated by Dr. Kindt will be recognized and treated so that their experience at AZBD is the healthiest and best “whole body” dental experience that they have ever had. Dr. Kindt’s hobbies include flying small planes (SEL), cycling, running, hiking, collecting boutique California Pinot Noirs, baking, gardening, and rescue dogs.
