Dr. Shreya Patel

Hello, everyone! I was raised in Jefferson City, MO and graduated from UMKC’s School of Dentistry in 2016. After graduation, I practiced in St. Louis, MO and Durham, North Carolina. My husband just finished his cardiology fellowship and we’re super excited to be back in Kansas City and settle down here-and show our puppy, Boomer, our old stomping grounds.

My favorite part about dentistry is getting to know patients and building relationships with them while taking care of their oral health, focusing on the patient as a whole and not just the teeth.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, staying active and traveling! Looking forward to meeting you!

I also have 7 sisters and 5 brothers…life is never dull in a big family! I manage to squeeze in book club and movies in my “spare time.”

Lindsay Quinn

I have been working in dentistry since 2002. The first half of my career was spent in the clinic as a dental assistant. Now, I have stepped in to an administrative role. Whether in front or the back of the office, my primary concern is patient care! When not at the office, I’m with my husband, Kevin, our 4 year old daughter, Finley, our 2 year old son, bunker, sweet little puppy, Emmy Lou.

Hello! I am Laura and I’ve been a hygienist since 2013. My favorite part about my job is meeting new people and forming relationships while I clean your teeth!

I also enjoy filling my down time with running my side business- a custom embroidery service called Catalina Stitching Company.

My appointment at Dr. Beckman office was great! The front staff, my dental hygienist E., and Dr. Beckman were all so nice & welcoming and so it made the trip to the dentist office much less painful. Cheers!

Dr. Beckman and his staff are amazing. My crown replacement was seamless, no pain and perfect the first time! I would highly recommend this practice. They are first class and so personable.

As is common with a lot of people I am not a huge fan of the dentist. I found Dr. Beckman almost 10 years ago and have not had a fear of the dentist since then. Excellent care, kind and caring staff, all of them. I feel at ease and like "family" when I go to the dentist now.

Going to Dr. B’s office always feels like a party, as the team is always upbeat and super positive - they have really changed the paradigm of going to “the dentist.” Dr. B. and his team feel more like family than staff, and I enjoy receiving updates about their families, kids, and their life adventures. They truly care about their patients and their patients truly care about them! I could not think of a better group of professionals to serve my dental needs. Thank you to the team!!

I've been seeing Dr. Beckman now for about a year. He did a great job in replacing my old gold-backed caps. His staff is very friendly and efficient. I appreciate the transparency in terms of billing. Highly recommend.

I have been with this practice for nearly 30 years. The same administrative employees been there as well. My experience every time has been great. Dr. Beckman is very caring and never rushes through an appointment. I recommend him for all procedures.

I was returning for my 6 month check up which included the annual x rays, cleaning teeth and Doctor's review. My dental hygienist is wonderful in understanding all of my quirks. Now, I have sparkling, healthy teeth that feel so good! Everyone in the office is very patient oriented, helpful and easy to communicate with, especially now when we all wear masks.
