Providing quality dental care in a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere is the priority of Dr. Kelly McKown. She grew up in the mountains of Falls View, West Virginia, living with her parents in a small town where she developed a strong sense of community. She started her career in dentistry as a dental hygienist attending a local community college, West Virginia Institute of Technology. Within two years of entering the field, Dr. McKown had the drive to serve her patients in a broader capacity by pursuing the education to become a dentist. After completing her dental pre-requisites at West Virginia State University, she was accepted into West Virginia University School of Dentistry and graduated in 2010 with her DDS degree. After graduation she worked as an associate in WV and later moved to Harrisonburg, Virginia where she owned her own practice for almost 10 years. Dr. McKown has continued to expand her knowledge throughout her career and in 2020 became a Diplomate with the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. This enables her to treat patients' obstructive sleep apnea with dental devices as an alternative to CPAP.

​

Dr. McKown enjoys the relationships formed working with her patients. She provides quality dentistry and sleep apnea treatment for her patients while creating a comfortable environment for care. In her time away from work, Dr. McKown spends her time with her four children. Her family enjoys traveling and spending time outdoors camping. She is also an avid backpacker, and despite her busy life, has completed nearly 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail in the last two years.

Congratulations to Dr. Kenneth Bowman on his retirement! He has dedicated his heart and soul in service of his patients for more than 50 years while building our amazing dental practice. Though he will be sorely missed, we are thrilled to see him enjoy retirement in our community surrounded by family and friends (many of whom started as patients!). 

​

Dr. Bowman is one of Virginia’s own, born in Grottoes, Virginia. He graduated from Montevideo High School then went on to earn his Bachelor of Arts degree from Bridgewater College in 1963. Pursuing one of his life passions, he attended Medical College of Virginia earning one of the highest clinical awards in his third year of dental school. Once Dr. Bowman graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1967, he opened his private practice in downtown Waynesboro. Since then, Dr. Bowman continued to provide compassionate, exceptional and customized dental care for patients from the Staunton/Augusta/Waynesboro area as well as larger surrounding areas.

Madison grew up in Stuarts Draft and attended Stuarts Draft High School, BRCC, JMU (bachelors in Health Sciences), and most recently, VWCC. Her orthodontist, Dr. Cloth, got her interested in dentistry so she took the dental assisting course at what was then Valley Vocational Technical Institute during her senior year of high school. After high school graduation, Dr. Bowman offered her a part-time job as a dental assistant and introduced her to the professional world.  Madison's favorite part of dentistry is educating patients. We are constantly learning about new techniques and products that can help our patients achieve their oral health goals and she loves being in a position that allows her to share that knowledge. Madison enjoys swimming, visiting local parks, and spending time with friends and family when not taking care of patients.

Taylor was born and lived in Staunton until she was about 4 years old.  She then moved to Bath County, VA where she spent most of her childhood and teenage years, and returned back to Staunton in 2013. Taylor graduated from Virginia Western Community College in May of 2019 with an Associate’s of Applied Science with a Major in Dental Hygiene. Her own experience with dental braces sparked her interest in the dental field because of the confidence it brought to her smile. She started out as a dental assistant, assisting the doctors with restorative procedures and then wanted to continue her education to get into more preventative dentistry and help educate patients on preventing disease. Taylor’s favorite part about dentistry is educating patients on their current oral health condition and educating them on how to get to a healthy state to prevent further disease progression. She also enjoys getting to know patients on a personal level and developing a good patient/provider relationship. In her spare time, she loves spending time with her husband Schyler. They enjoy playing any and all sports and being outdoors. Taylor also enjoys spending time with family.
