There are few professions that foster long-term positive relationships between the provider and patient. It is very rewarding to see not only an improvement of my patients smiles but of their self-image as well.
Like many other professions, orthodontics continues to evolve and incorporate new technology. In order to provide my patients with the most efficient, effective, and comfortable treatments, I mustattend continuing education courses constantlyin order to stay current with the new techniques and technology.
I have been practicing orthodontics in Northern Virginia since 1982. Utilizing cutting-edge technology to transform a persons smile into one that is both aesthetic and harmonious is very rewarding to me.
The best part of my job, though, is the personal connection I make with each patient. Orthodontic treatment is an ongoing process during which I form a bond with many of my patients. These relationships often continue long after orthodontic treatments have ended.
I grew up in Baltimore, and have lived in Rockville for the last 20 years. I have three wonderful children named Dorie, Carly, and Garrett. Along with two grandchildren, Charlie and Leo.I enjoy cycling, skiing, working out, and reading.
I also believe it is important to be involved in our community, so Ivolunteer for various local organizations. I havesponsored Wounded Warrior Project and Blue Star Banner familiesfor Fourth of July. I am also involved with the annual candy buy-back program, in which thecandy goesto soldiers in Iraq. I support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation as well as giveto help provide Thanksgiving dinners for the needy of Prince William County.
Ive been working at Frank Orthodontics since I was in high school starting as a sterilization technician. I was even a patient of Dr. Franks from a long time ago. I try to travel as much as possible. So far my favorite places have been Hawaii and Ireland!
I am lucky because I get to meet every new patient and family. As I introduce people to the practice and the world of orthodontics, I spend a lot of time chatting with them and learning about their life. Its fun to watch each person become happier and more confident during treatment! After Dr. Frank creates the patients care plan, I review everything with the patient and theparents. By answering their questions, I make sure theyre able to make an informed decision about their new smile!
Im married and have three children, one rescue dog, and one grandson. Outside the office I amvery involved with helping local military families in need. I love to travel and enjoy family outings on our boat.
Its fun to get to know our patients and hear whats happening in their lives. I never know what theyre going to share, but its always interesting! Dr. Frank is an exceptional orthodontist and our team members are my friends: we work great together! I assist the doctor during different procedures. While making sure he has everything he needs, I talk with our patient and keep them updated. My favorite time is when we remove braces and get to see that beautiful new smile!
We are committed to providing the highest quality of clinical care and personalized service in a warm and compassionate atmosphere. Our doctor and staff enjoy getting to know each patient and thefamily, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations.
