About Dr. Kuwabara’s Office

Dr. Kuwabara is no stranger to the Washington, DC area.  He grew up in Montgomery County and spent many summers working at his father’s pediatric dental office, where he learned from the man he calls “the most gifted dentist I’ve ever known”.  He went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Maryland, College Park.  In 1997 Dr. K received his Doctor of Dental Surgery at Ohio’s Case Western Reserve University, followed by specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Maryland.  Not long after, he and his soon-to-be wife moved to Dallas where he did a fellowship at Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, joined the faculty at Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry, and worked part-time in private practice.  Upon returning to the DC area, he became an instructor at Howard University, College of Dentistry in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry.  Dr. Kuwabara also volunteered his time at the Spanish Catholic Center and worked in private practice before opening his own office in 2006.

Dr. K is lucky enough to have married Dr. Kim Menhinick, the smartest, prettiest, most talented endodontist in the area!  They have a lovely daughter, Catherine, who he never stops talking about.  He gets his kicks watching his daughter and wife competing on their respective synchronized figure skating teams for DC Edge. When not doing that Dr. Kuwabara enjoys working out, playing tennis, golf, and trying to outsmart the squirrels at the birdfeeder.  He will be the first to tell you that he doesn’t excel at any of those hobbies!

Dr. K loves being your friendly neighborhood kids dentist and an active part of the community.
