Dr. Kirk Rathburn

Dr. Kirk Rathburn handles general and restorative dentistry in north Boulder, where routine cleanings and fillings share the schedule with more involved procedures. The practice sits just off Broadway on Iris Avenue, a stretch lined with mid-century storefronts and quiet professional offices. This isn’t the kind of clinic that leans into cosmetic trends or boutique branding—it’s a standard dental office serving a neighborhood where people actually live and work.

North Boulder’s residential pockets mean most patients arrive by bike or a short drive from nearby streets like Mapleton or Vine. The address, 2709 Iris Ave, puts it within easy reach of the Ideal Market shopping center but far enough from Pearl Street’s tourist pull. Parking here follows the usual rules of the area: street spots fill up during business hours, and side streets require a bit of attention to signs. Like most dental offices, it operates on appointments, so walking in without notice isn’t the move.

Booking a visit means calling (303) 786-9673—no online portal, no chatbot. For first-timers, the map confirms what locals already know: it’s two blocks east of the fire station, across from a row of brick ranches. People here don’t talk about their dentist unless something goes wrong, and even then, it’s usually just a quick mention over coffee at Ozo.
