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.

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!
