About Dr. Kishawn Kole-James
Dr. Kole-James pursued postgraduate studies from 1999 until 2002 at Wayne State University and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. He continued his academic pursuits as an African American dental resident at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in 2006.
Seeing the need to provide quality dental care in his hometown of Detroit, Dr. Kole-James opened a private practice there from 2006 to 2007. After a fire destroyed the office, his determination to provide excellent dental care intensified. He used this experience as a learning foundation and went to work in public health in the city of Detroit. His dedication and commitment to the African American community allowed him to become the Dental Director for three clinics at Detroit Community Health Connection. His responsibilities included monitoring dental clinics to ensure activities remained in accordance with accepted national standards and administrative policies while actively participating in the Quality Improvement Program.
Knowing that teaching a subject is the best way to reinforce information, Dr. Kole-James served as an Adjunct Instructor at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry during the academic years 2011–2013.
Recognizing the underserved area of orthodontics in the Detroit Metropolitan Area, Dr. Kole-James renewed his commitment to exceptional patient care in private practice. Even before obtaining his degree in orthodontics, he shadowed the best orthodontists in the Metropolitan Detroit area for months at a time. He then maximized his commitment to dental practice by moving his family to Washington, DC, for two years to attend and receive his Certificate in Orthodontics from Howard University in 2016.
He has been happily married to his best friend, Uchenna, for 10 years. They have two wonderful children, Samuel and Emmanuel, who keep them extremely busy. In his spare time, he loves hanging out wit
