Kathy has been immersed in dentistry her whole life. Her father was a dentist and her brother is a dentist. She was 15 when she worked in her dad's office, which sparked a true interest for patient care. After completing her bachelor's degree in dental hygiene from USC in 1992, she started working with her brother. Kathy joined Dr. Hedrick's practice in 1999 and has been with him through the transition to the Smile With Style team in 2020. Our team loves working with Kathy because of the level of care she provides both professionally and personally. Patient's love seeing her because of her hilarious personality and tangible passion for dentistry.

Outside of the office, Kathy is an amazing mother to her four sons. Baseball is her families preferred sport and she LOVES watching her sons play. She lives a very healthy, active lifestyle and enjoys her outdoor activities such as running, hiking and gardening.
