Meet the Team
Our Commitment to You….
Nearly half of our patients are referred by other enthusiastic patients and their parents. We intend to treat you so well that you too will feel comfortable in recommending us to your friends and family.
As part of our practice, you’ll be in good company. We’re proud of the number of area dentists, physicians and their families who are among our patients. Our patients and parents are the most important part of our practice.
Our goal is to provide you with the best orthodontic experience possible. It is a privilege to work with you and your family, and we will do the very best for you that we can do.
Our Team
We are especially interested in making all our patients feel right at home! We put your needs first to achieve efficient and comprehensive treatment. Our staff is trained and skilled, and we strive to provide energetic and fun-loving service to each patient. We have a unique team approach to treatment in that a patient is assigned to a specific team of orthodontic assistants, called Patient Managers, for the duration of treatment. Each member of our treatment team is a certified assistant, and our office staff has years of experience in treating patients with the highest level of care. We strive to stay abreast of the very latest in technology and advances by regularly attending continuing education courses and seminars.

Seeing the outcome of our treatments is the most rewarding part of my job. To this day, some cases really amaze me! One patient may need minor adjustment, while another may need surgery in combination with orthodontics, but each patient is treated with the best care and the outcome is outstanding.”
