At Aloha Orthodontics, Dr. Naren Chelian (aka Dr. C) wants more than an excellent smile for his patients. He wants the patient experience to be just as outstanding. His energetic personality vibrates throughout the office from his team to his patients. As soon as you step inside Aloha Orthodontics, you cant help but smile as staff and patients wear t-shirts branded with the slogan: Smile Sucka. When asked about his motto, Dr. C responds: Because smiling is free, smiling is contagious and smiling makes people happy. So why not?!
At Aloha Orthodontics, our mission statement is: Delivering Smiles and Happiness. I have prioritized the goals at Aloha to exceed the expectations of my patients. The moment a patient walks in, I want them to release any anxiety that they may have had about braces or Invisalign. I want them to feel our positive energy and forget they are at a dental office. I want them to tune in to the music playing throughout the office. I want each visit to be the best part of my patients day. At the end of their orthodontic treatment, I want them to say: Wow! That was it? This was so much easier than I thought. I want them to leave Aloha and be able to smile with confidence for the rest of their lives.
The mission statement also applies for my staff (aka my Aloha family). Patients often joke about wondering if the team members enjoy being at Aloha more than they do. This confusion is why I started Aloha Orthodontics. If I am going to spend the prime years of my life working, I want to LOVE it. I also want to share this love with my patients and team.
While we can often answer these general questions about treatment during the initial examination, we will address specific areas after careful analysis of the diagnostic records. We feel it is important to analyze each patients specific needs, because in-depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction.
Dr. C was born in India and moved to the U.S. when he was 8 where he then grew up in San Diego, CA. Dr. C attended UCSD for his undergraduate education. He then moved onto UCLA for doctorate education, and completed orthodontic residency at UNLV. He is still very involved as the alumni president of the UNLV orthodontic residency program.
Dr. C is not only dedicated to his work by being at his office but is even very involved with his patients on a more personal level. He is a huge sponsor of many of his patients schools, sports teams and helps with other local fundraising. He also donates monthly to a long list of other local, national and international charities and academic programs.
This is our Mission Statement at Aloha Orthodontics. We have transitioned thru other philosophies since we opened but the above statement best describes the reason for our success thus far and what it will take for us to grow in the future. Aloha has performed its best when everyone has fun. This includes patients, parents, and all of us working at Aloha. Anyone can create a fun -looking place but what sets us apart from anyone else is that we create a truly fun experience for our patients, parents and a truly fun work environment for our staff. We sincerely believe our family-style relationship with our staff and patients & our Mom & Pop style business model will ensure our continued success and help us realize our vision to become the orthodontic practice that everyone wants to come to for braces and Invisalign.
