As an orthodontist, I'm able to use science and artistry to transform my patients' lives. Being able to give someone a confident and beautiful smile is a gift; my work is professionally and personally rewarding. My father was an orthodontist here in Heber Valley. He opened Wasatch Orthodontics in 1988 and I took over in 2008. Seeing him at the end of a workday, as he talked about his patients and how they changed as a result of their new smiles, inspired me to join the profession.
I thrive on the relationships that develop between myself and my patients. Orthodontic care takes place over several years, with monthly visits. It's during those visits, as we talk about the patient's activities at school or work, their achievements, and plans for the future, that we become friends. Spending my days helping my friends make a positive, lasting change in the life is the best part of being an orthodontist.
I cannot imagine anything more fulfilling. Each year I attend conferences and complete continuing education courses locally, regionally, and nationally.
