My absolute fascination with and commitment to orthodontics makes me what some may consider being an “Ortho Geek.”
What that really means is that I am truly dedicated to creating and caring for patients’ amazing smiles. Since all smiles come from the heart, it is very important to find out what your goals are; what you think of your smile now and what you would like it to be. Then we begin working together to achieve a result that is beautiful and healthy.
