John Spurr, DDS
I love to help people get healthy, because a healthy mouth is vitally important to your overall health. I truly strive to provide the highest quality dentistry possible in a caring and professional manner. For the past 25 years, my patients have always come first. Customer service is the cornerstone of my practice. I promise to discuss all viable options for treatment, and my recommendations will be based on what I would do for myself or for my family.
Tyler Tran, DDS
Hello, I’m Dr. Tyler Tran. I grew up in Plainwell, Michigan where I played soccer, basketball and golf. Following high school, I attended Siena Heights University where I played collegiate soccer. After one year at Siena Heights University, I transferred to Western Michigan University where I majored in Biomedical Sciences, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 2015. From there, I moved to Chicago and attended dental school at Midwestern University, earning my DMD with honors in 2020.
While Chicago was an amazing experience, I moved back to Kalamazoo following dental school to be closer to my incredible wife, who is a labor and delivery nurse at Borgess hospital. We both enjoy giving back to our community and wholeheartedly look forward to starting a family of our own in Kalamazoo. Following my belief in giving back to the community, I have participated in groups such as Feed My Starving Children, volunteered in wheel chair basketball tournaments and even have given oral health presentations to elementary children.
I am currently a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry and the Michigan Dental Association. Committed to providing the best care possible for my patients, I have completed numerous postdoctoral continuing education credits in prosthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, Invisalign and more. I promise to always continue to educate myself and use top of the line technology so that I can provide each and every one of you with the care you deserve.
In my free time, I enjoy wakeboarding, golfing, traveling abroad, and spending time with my family and wife.
