Being an orthodontist is, In our opinion the greatest occupation imaginable. We don't
use the word job because, although it is a responsibility, ifs also a pleasure...and
to be quite honest, also a lot of fun! Becoming involved in kid's lives and watching
them grow and mature generates tremendous gratification. Changing someone's
appearance for the better and seeing his or her setf-esteem increase, is a true delight.

In our office, we all try to go that extra mile, and not only make kid's feel comfortable
with the environment we have created, but work constantly in boosting their sett
MTh and esteem. We want them to grow both physically and emotionally. It is an
opportunity to influence others positively and make our community a better place.
