Being an orthodontist is incredible: the profession allows me to improve peoples smiles, which increases their self-esteem and comfort around friends, peers, and colleagues. It is immensely rewarding to welcome someone new to the practice, often a person who feels uncomfortable with the appearance of their teeth, knowing I will be able to make a lasting change in their life.
Whether I am transforming a childs, teens, or adults smile, I design treatment specific to the individual. Focusing on the persons oral health and aesthetic concerns, I determine the ideal approach that ensures the best treatment experience and predictable, stable, and beautiful results.
Throughout the treatment journey, I have the opportunity to get to know each patient and their family. We share stories and develop a bond of trust and respect. By the end of their treatment, they have a beautifully healthy, confident smile and weve become friends!
I have practiced orthodontics since 1993, drawn to the oral healthcare field after interactions with my childhood dentist. Experiencing kind and compassionate dental care was inspiring: I wanted to share that experience with others.
I attended Eastern Oregon University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1985. I then attended the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Dentistry, completing my Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) in 1990 and Orthodontics Specialization in 1993.
While dental school and then an orthodontics residency gave me an excellent foundational understanding of my specialty, the field is constantly advancing. Throughout the year I complete many hours of continuing education through meetings, lectures, seminars, and online processes in order to stay current on the latest developments.
These organizations offer numerous opportunities for me to learn from leading researchers and practitioners. I carefully study the emerging research and trends, assess the newest technologies and techniques, and then incorporate the best into patient care.
I grew up in Diamond Bar, in Southern California, and have resided in West Linn with my family for many years. Barbara, my wife, and I married in 1994; we have three children, Catherine, Christina, and Andrew, along with two Pomeranians, Seraphina and Wolfie.
I am involved in Rotary and the North Clackamas Chamber of Commerce, too. Being active in these local organizations allows me to interact with community businesses and support our community with volunteer work. I specifically appreciate that Rotary allows me to support individuals on their journey as incoming and outgoing foreign exchange students.

Some recent dental work resulted in my night retainers no longer fitting and I no longer live near my previous orthodontist. Dr. Godzyk and his staff were very easy to work with and quickly got me a new set of retainers made. They did not push any further orthodontic work and were happy to help me maintain my current smile. The cost for the retainers was less than estimates that I had received from other nearby practices.

This was the most reasonably priced place for braces. The staff is great. They are very family oriented and hold family events occasionally; for example, a family bowling night. Only downfall, the office holds hours are catered to the highschool right beside them so a lot of time when the school is closed the office is closed.

Dr. Godzyk and his staff spared me from making a very expensive decision! They were excellent about taking their time to educate me of all my options, and understanding of my need to be on a strict budget. They were very creative and came up with the perfect solution - and it cost less than 5% of what it might have, had I chosen an alternate route! You are in good hands with Dr. Godzyk and his team!
