Meet Dr. King
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.

Continuing education is the key to maintaining the highest level of excellence possible, and I am a staunch advocate of pursuing it. Attendance at study clubs, seminars, and lectures is on my agenda often throughout the year so that I remain on the cutting edge of orthodontic technology.

Outside The Office
“I reside in sunny Palm Beach Gardens, FL, where I dedicate much of my time to family and friends. Scuba diving is a passion of mine, along with fishing with my son Jared. My daughter Amber and I also enjoy traversing the deep blue sea both above and below the water. I love to swim and enjoy riding my bicycle every chance I get. While I swing an occasional golf club with friends, hitting the ball is not always guaranteed! That’s okay because my heart is really in just enjoying the day with friends.”
