Beyond the office

Part of the community

Dr. Klamer loves the Kearney community — here he is providing care at a community dental event. He also routinely travels on dental mission trips to Guatemala, providing care to families in need. It’s the same approach you’ll find at the office: real people, looking after their neighbors.
