Registered Dental Hygienist
Hello, I’m Kevin Quinonez, RDH. I have been a dental hygienist for 2 years after I graduated from Hagerstown Community College. I am Salvadorian and Guatemalan and speak Spanish fluently. My goal is to make you feel comfortable in my chair and give you the best standard of care possible. I strive to make sure you understand everything that I’m doing and why I do it. No question is a bad/dumb question to me. When I’m not in the office I enjoy various hobbies. I like to watch and play various sports, such as my favorites soccer and tennis. I enjoy going on hikes and being in nature. I love trying new food and restaurants. I also play some video games. I have two chihuahuas at home that I love. I am an open book so feel free to ask me anything when you see me!
