Ever since I began practicing orthodontics in 1990, I have been passionate about providing my patients with excellent service utilizing the latest advances in orthodontics. I am also consistently excited by the happiness and new sense of self that a beautiful smile brings to a person and their family after treatment is completed. There is nothing more gratifying than this, and I am grateful that I am able to reach so many people in order to perform this service. I am also constantly appreciative of the trust people place in my skills, allowing me to treat the most precious beings in their lives, their children.
Though outstanding results are my primary focus, I am also dedicated to treatment efficiency. In this regard, I am very careful to recommend beginning treatment at the point where I can do the most good for a patient within the least amount of time.
I began my education at Stony Brook University where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. From there I earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine at the University of South Carolina where I graduated in 1987. I attended North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset until 1988 for my general practice residency. In 1990, I graduated from Columbia University where I obtained my orthodontic training.
I constantly participate in continuing education courses so that I can offer my patients the most current advances in orthodontic treatment. Additionally, I have several professional affiliations that keep me abreast of the latest in my field:
I am a native of North Bellmore, New York and have lived in Port Washington since 1997. I am married and have a son and two daughters. When Im not working, I enjoy exercising, skiing, playing golf, and cooking. I am also an instrument-rated private pilot. I am continually excited by lifelong learning, my family and friends, and living a healthy, active lifestyle.
We recognize that all of 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 working in the office in 2002, which is the year I started my career in the dental field. My favorite part of working at Ferris Orthodontics is seeing the smiles on our patients faces. It makes me very happy that I play a role in this. Working with Dr. Ferris for such a long period of time has been a great experience. He is a great guy who is very understanding and someone who will go the extra mile for his patients and his staff.
I was excited to become member of the Ferris Orthodontics team, starting here in 2012 after entering the dental field in 2010. I enjoy welcoming our patients to the practice and seeing them leave with beautiful smiles at the end of their treatment. Dr. Ferris is a wonderful orthodontist and it is truly a pleasure being a part of his staff.
I love interacting with all of our patients and their families while keeping the practice running smoothly. It is such a thrill to watch our patients treatment process and see how much joy a beautiful smile brings. Dr. Ferris is so honest. He goes above and beyond for his patients and it is obvious that he cares about each one of them. He also is always willing to teach and help his staff, making us become better at what we do.
I joined the dental field in 1997 and became a part of Dr. Ferris team in 2013. Since that time, Ive gotten to know so many patients and seen how much orthodontics can change their lives. Ive also become very close with my coworkers; I genuinely enjoy their company and we work very well together. I cant imaging spending my days with a better group of people!
At home, I have three daughters, ages 11, eight, and five. My husband and I enjoy taking them to all types of places, including my home country of El Salvador. In my free time, I enjoy gardening and cooking.
We are committed to providing the highest quality clinical care and personalized service in a warm and compassionate atmosphere. Our doctor and staff enjoy getting to know each patient and their families, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations.
