Derek R. Blackwelder, DMD

I grew up in Concord, North Carolina, just a stone’s throw from the Charlotte Motor Speedway. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (go Heels!), I took a year off my studies to serve a year with Habitat for Humanity Americorps in Columbia, South Carolina.

Kristine E.P. Blackwelder, DMD

I knew as a kid I wanted to be a dentist.  Weird but true.  I was a dental assistant at 16.  After dental school, Derek and I went into public health, serving the beautiful people of the Navajo Nation through the Indian Health Service.

      We have been with Winnisquam Dental since 2004 and have been very pleased with the practice. We have always been warmly welcomed in a clean environment. We’ve seen many of the dental hygienists and have recommended them to others. We’ve had great experiences with both Dr. Kris and Dr. Blackwelder, they have worked together with us to come up with treatment plans. Communication has been top notch!

      From the minute we walked in the door it was a warm and welcoming visit. We started our appt on time, and Kris came out and introduced herself to both myself and my son. I’ve never seen that in my many visits to a dentist! She was very kind and thorough with any thing she discussed or even did during my sons exam. He was a little timid about going but she had him laughing the whole time! We are lucky to have found such a comfortable environment!

      The folks at Winnisquam Dental are so friendly, professional, and dedicated to what they do! Kate has been cleaning our teeth for years & we just adore her! Both of the Dr.'s have taken care of all of us at one time or another, and they are always wonderful, keeping the experience as pain free & speedy as possible. Mike, at the front desk, is so helpful & kind, and always has a smile on his face! We are lifetime patients for sure!
