Personal :

  • Apart from excelling in dentistry, Dr. Reed is a wife, mom, and cat lover. She cares for the family cats at home, several of which were strays that Dr. Reed has rescued and adopted from Northeast Philadelphia. On her days away from the office, Dr. Reed participates in Smile Programs, the mobile dentists. This is an organization of dentists who travel to schools of the District of Philadelphia and surrounding areas, to provide dental care for children who would not otherwise receive preventive attention. She is grateful for this opportunity to impact the community, and the health and well-being of underprivileged Philadelphian children.
  • The doctors enjoy spending time with their loving children, Bryan and Kristi, and are enthusiastic about travel. Recently the family vacationed to Austria, where they took a week-long bicycle trip across the country, biking along the scenic Danube River.
