When it comes to something as personal as your smile, you deserve a provider who goes above and beyond. That’s exactly what you get with Dr. Mindy—a Board-Certified Orthodontist who has completed additional training and testing to ensure every smile she treats receives the highest standard of care.
While all orthodontists must complete dental school and an orthodontic residency, ABO Board Certification is a voluntary achievement that requires:
Recognized by the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) and the National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties, the ABO is the only nationally recognized certification board for orthodontics.
Dr. Mindy didn’t pursue certification because it was required—she did it because you deserve the very best. She combines her extensive training with a warm, empathetic approach to help you feel confident every step of the way.
The ABO seal is your sign that your orthodontist is committed to excellence, patient safety, and lifelong learning.
Choosing a board-certified orthodontist means trusting your smile to a specialist who is proven, precise, and passionate about achieving the best outcome possible. It’s not just about straightening teeth—it’s about choosing someone who holds themselves to a higher standard.
Board-certified orthodontists complete additional examinations beyond their residency and demonstrate mastery in both diagnosis and treatment—ensuring your care is backed by clinical excellence.
We know that life and siblings won't wait while your child receives orthodontic treatment, so we've curated a warm space with maximum comfort to take care of all the children in your family.
