Dr. John J. Murray
Dr. John Murray grew up in New England the second of four children of an orthodontist. His father's ability to see his children off to school, come home for lunch and be back home for dinner left a positive impression of his oldest son.
Young John hung around his father's office. He liked the social interaction and the role his father played in the community. He also realized three dimensional thinking and attention to detail came easily to him. But young John wanted to see the world and by the time he worked traveling and solo adventuring out of his system and realized he wanted to pursue orthodontics his father had retired. But Dad encouraged John to study dentistry and orthodontics and said he could practice anywhere in the world. He told John the adventure could continue! And it has beyond John's greatest dreams. Dr. Murray received his dental degree from Columbia University School of Dental Medicine in 1991, in New York City. He completed a one year General Practice Residency (GPR) at the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital in the south Bronx, New York, the following year. Dr. Murray was a Lieutenant in the United States Public Health Service practicing general dentistry when he was accepted in the orthodontic program at Columbia University School of Dental Medicine where he received his Orthodontic Certificate in 1995. Dr. Murray moved to Anchorage in 1996 and has been practicing orthodontics at one of his two locations ever since. Dr. Murray is a big believer in continuing education (CE) and being on the leading edge of sound, proven technology. But he has not forgotten that a warm, friendly environment is what leads to a positive experience. For more details, you can read his Curriculum Vitae. Murray Orthodontics

Redmond Orthodontics
Dr. Bill J. Redmond
 My profession is great! Equal parts art and science, I love all aspects of orthodontics including the relationships that inevitably develop between our patients and myself as treatment progresses and we reach our mutual treatment goals.
The science is intriguing, but the artistic aspects of orthodontics are what draw me to this profession. I love the day braces come off and experiencing the moment that a patient sees their new smile for the first time. It is magical for me, like opening an anticipated gift. The thrill of that first smile is exhilarating.
I think the best part of the relationship I cultivate with each patient is being a part of this very exciting time in a patient’s life. The transformation a patient goes through in having orthodontic treatment is a life changing process. I am honored to be asked to be part of their lives and to help them fulfill their personal goals.
Our entire team is excited to develop a long-lasting relationship with our patients over our time together. Along the way, we develop a beautiful smile that is a result of the collaboration between patient and practice.
On my way to becoming an orthodontist, I received the following certificates:
- University of California in San Diego
- Bachelor of Arts University of Pacific
- Doctor of Dental Surgery
- General Practice Residency
- University of Southern California Master of Science in Craniofacial Biology and Certificate in Orthodontics

 Dr. Brian Noguchi
I feel blessed to be an orthodontist. Using my clinical skills to improve the function of my patients' teeth for the betterment of their overall oral health is satisfying, but what is unbelievably rewarding is seeing what a positive difference an attractive smile can make in a person's life. People smile more, laugh more freely, and experience a boost in self-confidence when they feel good about their smiles. This is why I love what I do.
Why I became an orthodontist:
I completed my general dental education at Loma Linda University, School of Dentistry in 1985, after which I practiced general dentistry and served as a faculty member at the School of Dentistry. I became excited about orthodontics when I witnessed the transformation that took place as I restored the badly neglected smile of one of my first orthodontic patients, Katherine. As I treated her with braces, bridges and crowns, she started smiling again and taking care of her overall appearance. She got a job outside the home for the first time and worked her way up to an executive position. The confident, polished woman she became looked 20 years younger and was virtually unrecognizable as the patient had I started treatment on. Her words of appreciation hooked me on orthodontics. I completed my Masters of Science degree in orthodontics in 1988 at Loma Linda University.
My personal story:
I was born and raised in Nagano, Japan, but always wanted to come to the US for a higher education. While in dental school in the Inland Empire, I started visiting the South Bay to buy Japanese food, which was unavailable inland, and fell in love with this area. I changed my original plan of returning to Japan to practice and instead moved to Torrance in 1990. Later, I became a naturalized citizen. The South Bay, with its unique blend of cultures, is where my wife, Margaret, and I truly feel at home. This has been a wonderful place to raise our great kids, Alex and Erika.
Continuing Education:
By regularly participating in continuing education, I am able to stay current on the latest knowledge, technology and techniques in orthodontics. My patients deserve the best, and continuing education allows me to provide my patients with more options and better results.
A commitment to the community...
I feel that it is a privilege to live and work in such a wonderful community. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families. It is always such an honor to know that I have made a difference in so many of my patients' lives. I couldn't ask for a better job or for a better group of people to be sharing their smiles with me. I look forward to working with you.
Professional Membership I am an active member of the following professional associations:
- American Dental Association
- California Dental Association
- American Association of Orthodontics
- Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists
- Japanese Orthodontic Society

 Dr. Jeremy West
My profession is my joy and my unique opportunity to do what I love. My mother is a dentist, and growing up in her dental office, I quickly developed a fascination with teeth. Becoming a dentist was fulfilling a life-long dream of mine. During school I became enamored creating smiles without drilling, sparking my interest in orthodontics. Being able to do what I love is one of my greatest blessings. I feel like I get to help people every day achieve the smiles they’ve always wanted. In turn, they help me live the dream that started when I was a little boy. I feel truly grateful to my patients and my family for helping me get here.
I love a natural smile; we all have one. My passion is in accentuating my patients’ natural smiles and making them as beautiful as possible. We are all different, but a beautiful smile breaks down barriers, builds relationships, and makes people feel good. I want to make people smile! I’m most excited about creating an individualized experience for all my patients. When we take their braces off, what we see is something truly amazing, newfound confidence, self-esteem, and ideal function. I truly appreciate the trust my patients place in me and my team. No matter the challenge, we work with our patients to achieve a great result. Whatever it takes is a motto that I like to use to get the results my patients deserve and expect.
Education and Continuing Education
After receiving my dental degree from the University of the Pacific, I headed to the University of Colorado for my orthodontic training. Colorado was a nice change of pace but after a quick 27-month residency, I decided the warm weather of California was calling me home.
I’m a curious person by nature. I constantly think about how I treat my patients and if there’s a better way to achieve great smiles. I’m an avid attendee of continuing education courses. I believe learning doesn’t stop at residency and if anything, I’m learning more now than I did in school. I believe technology and new techniques continue to push orthodontics to new levels and I enjoy learning and implementing new things to our practice.

Outside the Office
I grew up in a small town inside of a big town, in South Pasadena, California. I loved the big trees and quiet atmosphere despite being minutes from the hustle of Los Angeles. My beautiful wife, Michiko, and I now call Modesto our home, and we love being part of this community that has welcomed us with open arms. We have four wonderful little boys: Maika, Kai, Teo, and Boen. They keep us busy with their activities and sports, but our favorite thing to do is just hang out together. Life with the boys is busy, but if we are not working, we like to travel together as a family. Our favorite spot is usually somewhere near the beach. I’m also crazy about sports. I grew up eating, sleeping, and dreaming sports. I love to coach my sons’ teams and watch them play. When my knee is working, I even play on an indoor soccer team.
Being active in the community gives me the opportunity to help people in other ways than just moving their teeth. Being a Scout leader has helped me get involved in the lives of young men that want to learn about being better people and becoming better future husbands, fathers, and citizens.

He completed his pre-dental studies at the University of Florida in two years, spent his third year of college in Europe as an exchange student, and then entered dental school at the University of Florida. Graduating at the top of his class (with high honors), he then attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for his orthodontic education where he received his Masters of Science in Dentistry and Certificate in Orthodontics.

Dr. Lori Aiosa
I am proud of what I do, and love to help my patients bring out their most beautiful smiles. Each patient has different needs and a unique story to tell, and I enjoy providing individualized care while getting to know every patient personally. I love the connections I make with our community, and each new friend inspires me to continually improve my skills.
Education and Continuing Education
For my education, I graduated from The University of Florida College of Dentistry. I graduated in 1997, but have never stopped learning about the latest orthodontic methods and techniques. As part of my continuing education, I attend regular meetings of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Florida Association of Orthodontists, Orthogators, Invisalign, the Damon Forum as well as the Central Florida Damon Study Club. I also participate in webinars and local dental society meetings. I enjoy learning new things, and I know the importance of staying on top of the constant advancements in technology in order to provide my patients with the highest quality care.
Since graduation, my continuing education has been focused on the latest technologies, including self-ligating bracket systems like the Damon System, removable clear aligners like Invisalign, the use of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs), the use of 3-D technology in developing treatment devices, surgically assisted tooth movement, and soft tissue lasers. These developments in orthodontic treatment help me offer more comfortable, predictable treatment results with increased efficiency and patient satisfaction. I'm also American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certified.
In the Practice
I am passionate about what I do, and always strive for perfection in my work. Orthodontics combines art and science to produce a beautiful, healthy smile that can be life-changing. There is nothing more rewarding than using my skills and knowledge to improve the lives of others. Every day, I get to witness the increased confidence that comes with a new smile, and I love sharing this excitement with my patients.
I have been practicing orthodontics since 1997, and am proud of my profession. I decided to become an orthodontist after having braces myself as a kid. I was self-conscious of my crooked teeth before I had treatment, but afterwards, I could not stop smiling! I knew then that I wanted to help other people attain that same great feeling that I had, and I never looked back.
I know that my patients want beautiful smiles, but they also come for the atmosphere and great orthodontic experience. That’s why I am proud to have the best team around! They are fun-loving professionals who really care about our patients. They all love interacting with the families who come to visit, and they help me plan plenty of fun activities and contests for patients to enjoy. They are also dedicated to learning a much as they can about the profession and improving their skills, and I am lucky to work with such talented and compassionate people.
Family Life
I grew up in Gainesville, Florida, home of the Florida Gators! I have lived in Orange Park since 1994 with my husband, Doug, and our three children, Kevin, Nikki and Gregory. In my spare time, you can find me on the tennis courts or on beautiful Doctor’s Lake with my family.

Michael S. Wall, DMD I feel truly blessed to live by the old adage, love what you do and you won't have to work a day in your life. Everyday I treat thoughtful and engaging patients from varying backgrounds, and together we create beautiful smiles that last a lifetime. Orthodontics combines two of my passions in life; working with my hands and conversing with interesting people. Whether describing a detailed procedure to an adult patient or explaining to a child the importance of brushing their teeth, I relish the unique doctor/patient relationship that Orthodontics establishes. I place a high priority on patients' understanding their orthodontic treatment, because understanding leads to patient comfort, compliance, and eventually the beautiful smile of which they always dreamed. I attended Clemson University on a four-year Army scholarship. Following graduation, I served five years as an Army officer in a combat arms branch. I was stationed in Texas and Louisiana and finished my service on a one year hardship tour in South Korea. After an honorable discharge, I attended dental school at the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry. I was incredibly honored when my class elected me class president all four years and after graduating near the top of my class, I was accepted into the military's highly competitive Tri-Services Orthodontic Residency Program in San Antonio, Texas. Following graduation, my family and I enjoyed three adventure-filled years stationed in Heidelberg, Germany. I am a native of Columbus, Georgia and currently reside in Statesboro, Georgia with my wife, Marie, a native of Savannah, Georgia, and our three sweet girls. I love spending time with my friends and family and watching college football. I enjoy playing and watching all sports, barbecuing, reading, physical fitness and just being outside. 506 Gentilly Road Statesboro, Georgia 30458 912-764-6737 E-mail: drwall@statesborobrace.com www.statesborobraces.com

YMCA Volunteer
In April of 1991, Dr. Fry brought together 12 community members in his living room to explore building a youth center in the Olathe Community. This dream resulted in the Olathe Family YMCA. Dr. Fry was so passionate for this cause that he encouraged his patients to help out: His challenge to them was to raise at least $3,000 dollars for the Olathe Family YMCA, and in turn the patients could shave his head completely!
That day came on Thursday, April 4, when Dr. Fry was handcuffed, put into a police car and escorted by city police to the barber. His charge? The $5,207 piled high in a fishbowl was enough proof that it was Dr. Fry's time to fulfill his end of the bargain. The inevitable electric razor sheered off locks of his rainbow dyed hair as giggling patients and children in the community who had raised the money looked on.
Dr. Fry was selected as the Greater Kansas City YMCA Volunteer of the Year and has served as Chairman of the Greater Kansas City YMCA.
Game Show Contestant
"Bob Fry, come on down!" Little did Dr. Fry know when he made plans to attend a team-building seminar with his staff in Los Angeles that he would return home a Showcase Showdown winner on the "Price is Right." The staff urged him to go along with them to be audience members, even though he said that he'd rather just go back to the hotel and sleep. When he heard his name called near the end of the show, Dr. Fry thought it was all a bad dream, and that he was certain to make a fool of himself on stage. In fact, Dr. Fry walked away in shock with $22,000 in prizes!
After discussing the winnings with his family and staff, Dr. Fry decided to give back to the community by donating winnings to five local charities: the Olathe YMCA, Heart to Heart International Inc., Olathe Region United Way, Olathe Public Schools Foundation, and Living Hope Church of the Nazarene. Dr. Fry is pleased that his entire staff is devoted to community service and to improving the quality of life for others.

Melissa S. Jones, DDS
Undergoing orthodontics is an exciting and often life-changing transformation that is celebrated long after treatment has been completed. I still remember my anticipation for the moment braces were placed on my own teeth- and I especially recall the excitement I felt the day they were removed! Now, I celebrate the opportunity I have as an orthodontist to help others achieve their best smile and experience this same sense of joy and empowerment. It is my mission to create a new orthodontic experience of comfort and convenience, in order to help as many people as possible Smile and Feel Good!
I truly enjoy both the personal and technical aspects of orthodontics. Along with my passion for connecting personally with every patient, I believe in the value they receive when their health care providers keep up-to-date with improvements in diagnosis and delivery of treatment. To that end, I frequently participate in continuing education lessons provided by dental and orthodontic associations through journals, meetings and online studies.
My passion for learning and serving has always guided both my professional and personal lifestyle. After graduating from dental school, I remained in Colorado to pursue specialty training in orthodontics and continue exploring outdoor adventures in the Rocky Mountains. Then, after graduating from orthodontics residency in 2007, my husband and I had the opportunity to travel throughout South America and learn as much as we could about the language, cultures, and natural terrain throughout the Andes. In 2008, we returned full circle to Carson City where my husband, Cullen, and I were both born. I had the incredible opportunity to take over the part-time practice of fellow orthodontist, Dr. Rick Parigini, in Fallon, Nevada. Since then, I have been able to serve the orthodontic needs of rural northern Nevada while enjoying time with our young son, Cavery. Now, I am honored and thrilled to pursue my dream of opening a practice right here where we live in Carson City!
Together with my family, I love living at the foot of the Sierras and enjoy many outdoor activities including trail running, mountain biking, kiteboarding, and skiing as well as playing at local parks with Cavery. When I get quiet time, I love to read and write.

 Brian D. Smith, DDS, MS The opportunity to interact with and play a positive role in the development of our community's youth is the primary reason I come to work in the morning with a smile on my face. Orthodontics is not just about straightening teeth, it is about building relationships with young people and supporting their growth as individuals, students, and citizens. Helping people achieve beautiful, healthy smiles to accompany them throughout their lives is a sincere honor. This is important work, and I take the utmost pride in ensuring that the treatment we provide is of the highest quality and meets the needs of each individual patient. I have been very blessed with a great career and loving family; if I can help someone else achieve their dreams like I have, then I feel I have performed an admirable service.
Education and Continuing Education My formal education started at Wake Forest University where, in 1997, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology. Physical anthropology, with its focus on bone biology and pale pathology, was my original interest, and I worked for a year as an archeologist with the NC Department of Transportation until I realized my passion resided elsewhere: in dentistry. My dental education was received at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I graduated with distinction. I completed original research on dental stem cells and presented my research findings at the annual meeting of the International Association of Dental Research.
I completed my orthodontic residency at UNC-Chapel Hill, and I earned my certificate in orthodontics and Master of Science degree. My master's thesis examined types of rigid fixation and its influence on long-term skeletal stability with orthognathic surgery. This research has been published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
Continuing education is important to stay current with new advances in the field of orthodontics. Access to current research and new clinical practices can lead to improved outcomes, with better treatment efficiency and effectiveness. My patients are a diverse group, with unique needs and goals. In order to provide such a high level of individualized treatment, we have to be skilled in a variety of different techniques and treatment modalities. While this presents many challenges, I feel we would be doing our patients a disservice if we did not strive to be at the forefront of the many diverse current orthodontic techniques.

Outside the Office My wife, Jan, and I have been blessed with three children, Ginny, Mary Thomas, and Will. My free time is spent with my family or outdoors where I enjoy mountain biking and running.
I believe it is important to be active in the local community and supportive of our patients as they pursue their many endeavors. For me, that takes the form of teaching Sunday school at our church, coaching youth soccer and basketball, participating as a board member with the Sanford Area Soccer League, and giving talks at local elementary schools about oral hygiene and diet. I am hopeful that these activities will help our young people live healthier lives and happier lives.

 Dr. Lynn Smith For the past 40 years, I have had the great opportunity to practice orthodontics and change the lives of children and adults in my community. This opportunity has helped me grow in the awareness of those around me, and enabled me to reach out to those in need.
The intricacies of modern orthodontics are a challenge, but my passion is providing a very meaningful service to my patients. The challenge of providing a mutually agreed upon treatment plan and motivating patients, particularly adolescents, to do the things that are necessary to achieve an ideal smile is sometimes daunting. It is my goal to be sensitive to those individual needs and expectations to arrive at a successful outcome — a truly amazing smile.
Education and Continuing Education I received all of my college education at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, earning my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1964 and my Master of Science in orthodontics in 1972. Since then, I have been actively involved in continuing education to keep abreast of the many changes and advancements in orthodontic technology and innovation. To provide my patients with the cutting-edge treatment they deserve, I complete much more than the minimum CE requirements to update my orthodontic knowledge.

Outside the Office With the exception of my military service in the United States Air Force, I have spent my entire life in North Carolina. I’ve spent the past 40 years right here in Sanford, where I’ve enjoyed living, working, and raising my family. My wife, Jane, and I were blessed with three children, Jennifer, Courtney, and Brian. They’re all married and have given us eight grandchildren. I find that being a granddaddy is the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done in my life.
At this stage of my life, I have more time to spend on my golf game. I would like to say it is improving, but that probably is not the case. Spending quality time with my grandchildren is my favorite pastime.
In the Community The privilege to live in a community like mine, and to enjoy the things that have resulted from efforts of previous generations, carries the responsibility to give back. Over the years I have served as President of the Chamber of Commerce, Parks and Recreation commissioner, and in my church. For the past five years I have served on the Lee County Board of Education, and currently serve as Chair. This seems a most natural job for me as I have been an advocate for children my entire professional career. To provide a child with an education is to open the doors of the future for every student.

Dr. Jackson Dr. Jackson believes that being an orthodontist is the best job in the world! He not only gets to help each patient grow towards a beautiful and healthy smile, but also gets to build lasting connections with them. Because treatment lasts from 6-30 months, Dr. Jackson has the unique opportunity to get to know his patients on a personal basis, and to hear what they've been up to since their last visit! By getting to know patients personally, Dr. Jackson feels he's a part of their lives and community, and that makes his work so much more fulfilling!
Education and Continuing Education In order to become an orthodontist, Dr. Jackson first attained his Bachelor of Science from the University of Florida at Gainesville before attending dental school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After graduation, he went on to complete his orthodontic residency at Saint Louis University. Dr. Jackson is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.
As an orthodontist, Dr. Jackson feels that continuing education is essential. In order to achieve the best possible smile for all of his patients, Dr. Jackson educates himself on the most current methods and technologies. Continuing education has allowed him to expand techniques he uses to create each beautiful smile. One example is a soft-tissue laser, an advanced technology that Dr. Jackson uses when appropriate to sculpt the gingiva and help reveal your best smile!
In the Office Dr. Jackson and his staff love the energy and fun that comes with working with children, adolescents, and young adults. At the end of treatment, our patients' excitement at seeing their new smile is always magical to watch. As a former orthodontic patient, Dr. Jackson understands their excitement and loves to help celebrate!
As a practice, we always go out of our way to make your orthodontic experience as fun as possible! We have a theater for patients and siblings to enjoy while waiting for their appointment. We also have a video game center and a coffee and juice bar. For additional fun and motivation, we have frequent holiday and seasonal gift giveaways. Your whole family will look forward to coming to see us!
More important than our office conveniences is the way we care for our patients. Our team always makes sure to treat patients like family members. It is our goal to provide a fun, energetic, and professional orthodontic experience. Our staff is highly and continually trained. We feel the real difference in our office, one that we are known for, is exceptional patient care.
Family and Community Following his residency, Dr. Jackson returned to Chapel Hill and joined a private practice while his wife, Stephanie, finished her schooling. Dr. Jackson and his wife are excited to now be settling in Charlotte and look forward to becoming an active member of this community.

As a dedicated father of four, Tod M. Hardin, DMD, PC is serious about finding the best healthcare providers for his own family. Dr. Hardin built Hardin Orthodontics in 1996 around values, ethics, integrity, and a commitment to the well-being of each of his patients.
Dr. Hardin hails from a long line of dental professionals. In 1996, he decided to establish his own presence in the community where he and his wife grew up, the Gresham and Sandy areas of Oregon. Over the years, he's expanded his practice into the greater Portland and Vancouver region with the help of staff members who are as passionate about what they do as he is.
Dr. Hardin’s irrepressible sense of humor helps his patients relax and maybe even enjoy their time in his chair. They say that the average child smiles, giggles, or laughs up to 400 times each day, but for the average adult, it’s only 15 times he says. Our office is making a concerted effort to increase both numbers and take the anxiety away from orthodontic care. We want you to smile often, no matter what your age!

Dr. Robert G. Wertz
Hello, and welcome to our family practice! I love my profession as an orthodontist because I am able to grow my patients into the smile that they have always wanted. From start to finish I am up for the challenge of making them happy with their orthodontic result.
Before I became an orthodontist, I was a lieutenant in the Navy Dental Corps for two years prior to going to orthodontic school. I spent one year at the Orlando Naval Hospital and my second year with the first Marine air wing in Iwakuni, Japan. I then completed my BS from Muhlenburg College before attaining my DDS from Temple University. I received my Orthodontic Certificate from Temple University as well.
For over 30 years, I have made continuing education a high priority so that I can provide state-of-the-art orthodontics to my patients and be current on all new procedures that will benefit my patients. I know that I can only provide the highest quality services if I know of the latest techniques and methods. That is why I consider my continuing education an essential part of providing exceptional care to our families.
My profession allows me to meet interesting adults and great kids and families. I am blessed to be able to help them achieve beautiful smiles that will be part of them for the rest of their life. Each person has their own story and over the time of treatment I am privileged to learn more about who my patients are. I love to hear where they are going on vacation, about new jobs and babies - all the things that comprise individual and family life. I like to get to know them and work together on their treatment.
My wife, MaryAnn, and I have been married for 30 years! We have four sons. My oldest one, Rob, is in practice with me. My other sons are Ben, Gabe and Peter. My wife and I also have a Newfoundland named Utley, a Golden Retriever named Molly, and three cats: Sasha, Angelo and Rose. In my spare time I love to build and fly radio control airplanes. I also enjoy hunting, fishing, and working on my farm in Schaefferstown. I am a big Hershey Bears and Philadelphia Phillies fan!
Orthodontics is a fantastic opportunity to combine my love for working with my hands and appreciation of the people who chose to come to me for their braces. I consider it an honor to serve the families of our community. They have entrusted me with something very important to them: their smile! I work hard to give each patient a perfect result. I love the challenge of each new and unique patient. Back to map
Dr. Robert G.Wertz Jr
Welcome to our practice! I have wanted to be an orthodontist since I was six years old, and am honored to be serving families in my home town. I love orthodontics because it allows me to closely interact with patients and accommodate their individual orthodontic needs. It also allows me to work together with my patients to improve the appearance of their smile and improve their overall self-esteem. It's incredibly rewarding!
For my formal education, I attained the following certificates: - BS, Mount St. Mary's University
- MS, Oral Biology Temple University
- DMD, Temple University
- Orthodontic Certificate Temple University
Although my formal education is complete, I continuously attend various courses and seminars in continuing orthodontic education. This allows me to provide my patients with the newest and most innovative orthodontic treatment available. I also participate in courses that provide information about the newest orthodontic technology so it can be used in our office.
Each patient is unique with different orthodontic needs. Caring for each individual's needs makes my job challenging and engaging. I enjoy customizing treatment to fit the individual need of each patient while making a personal connection with them at the same time! Our office provides a comfortable atmosphere for our patients. We encourage patient participation not only in their orthodontic treatment but in various office contests as well. We even have a video game in our deck area! We strive to make orthodontic treatment a fun and enjoyable experience for our patients.
On Saturday, December 4 my wonderful fiance, Lindsay, and I were married. We have a Shih-Chon puppy named Maisie! I also enjoy watching and going to sporting events! I like the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles and Flyers. I am also a Hershey Bears fan. I love spending time with my family and am excited about starting a family of my own.

"I had orthodontic treatment as a teenager here in the mid-Ohio Valley, and I was amazed at how the changes to my smile impacted my self-esteem and my relationships with others. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in orthodontics - it's rewarding to be able to help children and adults feel better about themselves simply by improving the appearance of their smile. I love the artistry involved in creating beautiful smiles for children, adolescents and adults. I also love working with all the proven new technology because it gives patients so many treatment options and truly exceptional results."
