I have practiced orthodontics in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for more than 34 years, and would not trade my profession for any other. It is so very rewarding to see patients’ enthusiasm when they see their smiles being transformed. The expression on patients’ faces the day they get their braces removed is so very rewarding for me. The maturity the younger patients gain while under our care is really exciting to experience, and the enjoyment of seeing a young adult come back to see us after having been out of treatment for years just to tell us about their accomplishments is fulfilling. So often these same patients return years later and compliment us by bringing their childen in for orthodontic care.
I know in my heart that our team changes lives for the better on a daily basis. There are many things that you forget in life. I always tell the patients they will never forget the day they get their braces removed. I certainly have not.
