I grew up in Ithaca and I am proudly raising my family here in upstate New York. I graduated from Ithaca High School, andam a proud member of the Ithaca High School Hall of Fame. I was honored to attend the United States Naval Academy, where I was an All-American lacrosse player. After my four years of undergraduate study, I served in the Navy as a surface warfare officer, with a specialtyin missile defense systems.
When my service ended, I decided to pursue a dental career at the University of Buffalo, followed by a three-year orthodontic residency at Eastman Dental Center in Rochester. I enjoyed my time at Eastman and, in addition to having a full-time private practice, I have servedon the faculty as a part-time associate professor/ lecturer in both clinical and research arenas for more than15 years. I have had thegood fortune to be published in a number of professional journals.
At Duthie Orthodontics, we pride ourselves on the perfect balance of professionalism,personalized care, and FUN! In addition to committing to the most modern techniques and equipment, my favorite aspect of patient care is that all our treatment is done in private rooms.
When I am not perfecting smiles, I can be found coaching lacrosse and hockey, or taking on more than I should with home remodeling projects. The best part of my week is spending time with my wife Bridget, my children Lauren, Jack, and Caroline, and my English Bulldog Lola.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
I began my dental career in 1988 and joined Dr. Duthies team in 2013. Its so much fun to get to know each person we care for, and becomefriends with patientswhile we develop their healthy new smile. I love hearing their stories, and all about their adventures and successes in school or in sports. The best part is seeing the beautiful results when the braces are removed!
I am a new member of Dr. Duthies office and I am very excited to be part of this team! I began my career as an assistant in 2003 and have a passion for helping people be confident. I love working with people and making them smile! My goal every day is to meet new people and help them have a really wonderful experience at our office. We have a lot of fun in our office, and I love being a part of it!
I have been married for 20 years, and have two beautiful daughters and two cats. We are very busy with sports and plays during the school year and biking and going on walks in the summer. I enjoy movies, reading, and spending quality time with my family.
I started in orthodontics more than 55 years ago, but it seems like just yesterday! Since 2013, Ive worked with patients at Dr. Duthies office to get them started with treatment. My goal is to make them happy with their smile. We are all here to make the practice run smoothly and provide excellent treatment and a pleasant experience at Duthie Orthodontics.
I began working with Dr. Duthie in 2013 when he opened his own practice. In addition to managerial duties, I am also a certified orthodontic assistant with 30 years of experience. I wouldnt want to be anywhere else but this office! Whether Im helping a patient start an orthodontic journey or assisting in the removal of braces, everything I do is to make smiles happen!
I have been married for more than 35years to my husband John. We have two daughters, Jessica and Jill. Jessica is married to our son-in-law, John McNabb, and they have the most adorable little boy named Carter. Jill is engaged to be married to Tim Langdon in October 2019.

I have been in the dental field since 1995 and joined Duthie Orthodontics in 2013. I have many years of experience in general, restorative, surgical, endodontics, and orthodontics.

Dr. Duthie is the most understanding, caring, and generous doctor and does amazing work.
My family consists of my son Allston, Shaun and his daughter Haleigh, and our three dogs. In the winter months, I play on multiple dart leagues and compete in several tournaments. In the spring and fall, I play softball and take part in tournaments and fundraising. When Im not playing sports, I enjoy crafting, building, and repurposing things.
I am nearing the completion of my second decade of working in the orthodontic field, and have spent the past five years with Dr. Duthie. I like seeing the transition that patients go through from when they first enter treatment until the day their braces come off. I enjoy seeing how happy they are with their smile results and knowing I am a part of that wonderful change!
Duthie Orthodontics is the best! Ive spent five of my 20 years in this field here and look forward to coming to work every day. My work allows me to help change the lives of so many people. I ensure that every person who comes through our practice doors, as well as their family, has an excellent orthodontic experience, from start to finish.
I earned my associates degree in dental assisting in 2010 and have experience in the fields of periodontics, endodontics, general dentistry, and oral surgery. Orthodontics is by far my favorite! Every day, I get to watch patients smile transformations and build lasting friendships with them. I also get to spend a lot of time with our awesome team my second family!
My husband Tom and I have been married since 2015. We have one child together, Maisy, who just turned a year old. We also have two Brittany Spaniels, Waylan and Hank, who love to go bird hunting. I love to garden and can my harvest. My hobbies consist of knitting, crocheting, and reading when I am not playing with my daughter.
I scan and make retainers and orthodontic appliances. I also fabricate and trim orthodontic models. Its a pleasure to meet, care for, and become friends with our patients. Every single one of them always has something interesting to share, and I love learning about their lives outside our office.
When Im not at work, I love spending time with my three children, two grandchildren, dog, and three cats. I am also a volunteer on the Youth Soccer Board. I enjoy traveling with my family and shopping. Sometimes I am known as Mother Christmas, since Christmas is my all-time favorite holiday!

Our office is patient focused, and we want all patients to achieve a smile they can be proud of.

This place is really great. They went out of their way to schedule an appointment quickly when I had an urgent issue and were really clear with options and pricing upfront. (They also offered a better price than other places I called when I was looking for an ortho.) Every person along the way from the front desk to the professionals in back to the Dr. himself were super friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend.
