Like many, Kris is an Oregon transplant and comes to us by way of California- but don’t worry, we

don’t hold it against him! Kris has been leading the team here at World of Smiles since 2018; as our

Practice Manager, Kris handles the day-to-day operations, management and in his words “the wrangling of my WOSlings”. Kris brings over 20 years of healthcare management experience to our

team, and has a background in business management and finance.

Outside of the office, Kris and his husband, Kevin, along with they’re three Spaniels; Moose, Aspen, and Paige, can often be found exploring the PNW. As a self-proclaimed foodie, wine lover, and

travel enthusiast, the PNW has become the perfect home-base for Kris and his family.

In his own words:

“I love what I do; my team, our patients, and am passionate about providing dental services to ALL children, regardless of economic status. Access to quality care is a basic necessity, and here at World of Smiles we work to ensure we’re able to provide care to as many children as possible. Our provider’s and team are top-notch, we truly care about our patients, and would love the opportunity

to WOW you. I am proud to call World of Smiles home”.

“I am beyond grateful to Dr. Stafford and my World of Smiles team for allowing me this amazing opportunity. I believe in a very hands on approach and look forward to serving this community for many years to come”.
