Dr. Brian Kleinman was born and raised in Prescott and is very excited to be home.  He graduated from Prescott High School where he participated in many athletic and academic activities.  After graduation Brian completed two years of missionary service in Australia.  Upon returning home, he completed course work for his Bachelors of Science at Yavapai College and Arizona State University.  In 2001 Brian had the distinct pleasure of marrying his high school sweetheart Emily Brimhall (yes Emily is Dr. Brimhalls oldest daughter).

Brian and Emily then moved to Denver, Colorado where Brian started dental school at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine.  Emily put her degree in microbiology to use working at a Type I diabetes research facility.  In January of 2009 Konrad Scott Kleinman was born and rocked Brian and Emily’s world.  It was at this time that Brian, while working at one of the many public health clinics associated with the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, discovered his love for Endodontics;  “there was just something I loved about saving teeth and taking people out of pain.” 

After graduating from dental school Dr. Kleinman gained admittance to the Marquette University School of Dentistry’s graduate program in Endodontics.  Milwuakee, Wisconsin saw the birth of the Kleinman’s second son, Rodney Jones Kleinman.  At Marquette,  Dr. Kleinman enjoyed the heavy emphasis on clinical endodontics and endodontic micro-surgery, but admittedly missed the warmth of the west.  Upon completion of his Certificate of Endodontics and Masters of Dental Sciences the Kleinmans once again packed up the U-Haul and finally moved back home to Prescott.    Shortly after returning home Rex Lee Foster Kleinman was born.  Emily has said, “that’s the last one” before, but this time she used a little more emphasis.  That lasted almost 6 years.  The twins were born in September 2017.  Emily finally got her girl, Etta Christine has already got her brothers and daddy wrapped around her finger.  Bowie is two minutes younger than his sister, but has outweighed her from the beginning.  The twins have certainly livened up the Kleinman house.

When not treating patients Dr. Kleinman enjoys bicycle racing, camping, hunting, basketball, baseball and generally any activity where he and his kids can get dirty. 

Dr. Joshua Smith was born in Mesa, Arizona and raised in Great Falls, Montana. After graduating from high school, he served a two-year mission in Fresno, California, where he worked closely with the Hmong community — an experience that shaped his lifelong commitment to service and compassionate care.

Upon returning home, Dr. Smith began his undergraduate studies at the Montana State University before completing coursework at Arizona State University.

 In 2004, Dr. Smith was accepted to the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, California, where he graduated with honors in 2007.

 After dental school, Dr. Smith practiced general dentistry for 4 years.  It was during this season of general practice — serving diverse communities and managing a wide range of clinical cases — that Dr. Smith discovered his passion for endodontics. He was drawn to the precision of the specialty and the opportunity to relieve pain while preserving natural teeth.

 He completed his endodontic residency at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine in 2014.Following residency, Dr. Smith purchased and operated a successful endodontic practice in Park City, Utah, where he practiced for over a decade and built strong collaborative relationships within the dental community.

Now, he and his family are excited to return to their home state of Arizona. Dr. Smith looks forward to serving the Prescott community and providing thoughtful, high-quality endodontic care in a comfortable and reassuring environment.

 Dr. Smith and his wife are grateful for the adventure of raising four energetic boys and feel fortunate to build both their family and career in Arizona. Outside of dentistry, he enjoys mountain biking and pickleball and looks forward to exploring all that Prescott has to offer.
