Dr. Craig
Pediatric Dentist / Chief Heart Officer / Sneaker Junkie
Nerdy Resume Stuff
Dr. Craig graduated from the University of Maryland with a B.S. in Psychology. He then attended the University of Maryland Dental School where he earned his D.D.S. After dental school Dr. Craig completed his pediatric training at the world renowned Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, eventually landing in the Big Apple as a faculty member at NYU (Tweed jacket, bow tie and all). He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and has been published in several scientific journals. Dr. Craig also stays very active in the continuing education scene, including lecturing in areas of cutting edge technology and conservative approaches.
Settling in South Florida, Dr. Craig brings a passion for patient-first pediatrics and purposeful work to the greater Boca Raton community.
Life Before Teeth
Born and raised in Baltimore (Bawwl-more as locals would say), Dr. Craig had childhood dreams of dunking a basketball and playing in the NBA (inspired by Woody Harrelson in WMCJ). And so when some of that didn’t pan out, Dr. Craig decided to serve as an ambassador for social change (living from Ireland to Israel to Uganda), working to improve the world through leadership and athletic endeavors in children. It’s a mission he’s carried with him. And it’s why at KUPD, patients are inspired to put their healthy dental habits toward the greater good.
Home Front
He is married to his beautiful bride Rebecca and together they have three amazing kids, Carter, Crosby and Bo. Happy places include the beach with the fam, dance-offs with his kids, Disney and Soul Cycle.

Smarty Pants Journey
Born and raised in Parkland, FL, Dr. Ashley is excited to return to South Florida and serve the community through pediatric dentistry.

She stays active, enjoys being involved in the community, and truly values the simple moments—like slow mornings with coffee or catching up with loved ones.

I wish there were more stars to give Dr. Craig. Was happy to have finally found him again. I live in Davie but he is definitely worth the drive. Thanks to him my kids are not afraid of the dentist. His new staff is unbelievable. So sweet and courteous. The office is spotless and beautiful. Not that I would expect anything less from him. He is AWESOME! Thais and Janelle at the front desk make everything so easy and quick! Thank you Dr. Craig and staff! You guys ROCK!!! See you in 6 months!
