After five years of working as an engineer, Dr. Girdwood decided that he would like to have more direct involvement in improving peoples lives. Dr. Girdwood decided to combine his love of working with children and his engineering background by becoming an orthodontist. This is reflected in his commitment to providing the most cutting edge technology in orthodontic care in an environment where patients and families know they are truly cared for and valued.
Dr. Bart and his wife, Eileen, who is a registered nurse, settled in the Warren/Butler county area to raise their three children. They appreciate the family-oriented values that the communities in this area exhibit as well as all the activities that the area offers. They now enjoy sharing the fun with their three grandchildren.
Dr. Bart takes great joy in giving back to these communities by sponsoring a variety of activities including youth baseball, softball, basketball, football, soccer, and cheerleading as well as class trips, mission trips and band competitions. He stays involved in many of the area schools through lecturing on dental health and by participating in health fairs and career fairs. Many students over the years have also benefited from job shadowing at Dr. Barts office.
When not creating beautiful smiles in his office, you may see Dr. Bart running or biking the roads in Warren and Butler counties as he trains for his next half-marathon, marathon or triathlon. He also enjoys playing golf with his family and friends, watching his grandchildren participate in their many school and sports activities, cheering on his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes, being involved in church activities, and traveling when he has the time.

Eileen handles many daily office financial duties, human resources, marketing, scheduling and everything else that gets thrown her way! You have a question? Eileen is your go-to girl! Dr Bart and Eileen have 3 grown children and 3 grandchildren and love to spend time with their family, especially in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Eileen has a Bachelors Degree in Nursing from the University of Tennessee but spent most of her college career at The Ohio State University where she and Dr. Bart met. They are truly obsessed fans and can be found at most Ohio State football games both home and away! Eileen loves working with the team at Girdwood Orthodontics and serving all the patients and families that trust their care to us.

Girwood Orthodontist is a positive business. I thank them for their enthusiastic "reach out" and support to teachers. I am a Springboro teacher and was given a generous and kind thank you for teaching students in the community. It was touching and exceptional. Thank you, Girwood Orthodontics!

I first met the Girdwood's when I was a client years ago and was very happy with my entire experience and my satisfaction has continued into my adult years. I have had a business and a personal relationship with the Girdwood family for years now and they are nothing short of great people. They are very professional, very passionate and truly care about what they do. I would recommend them to anyone!

I never had braces as a child, but as I got older, my teeth had shifted so orthodontic treatment was recommended. There were many options to consider, but for me, I felt most comfortable going to Girdwood Orthodontics since they specialize in orthodontics. After a very comprehensive consultation, we decided to use Invisalign instead of brackets and wires. Being an adult, I liked this option, since I could wear clear aligners which were hardly noticeable. Now that I am finishing up treatment, it is amazing how much my smile has improved over the last 18 months. I receive compliments from friends and clients all the time. Another benefit is flossing, and brushing have become easier. Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend Dr. Girdwood and team!

Bart and Eileen are outstanding professionals and community leaders. I met them three years ago to design their new logo. They were both articulate in what they were looking for, and very animated when they spoke about their clients. What passion and respect they have for their work and the students/adults they serve! I was impressed and honored to work with them.

The level of perfection and professionalism at Girdwood is top notch. Dr Bart's methodical approach to all his work is extreme to the Nth degree. And yet he can be fun and energetic with his young patients. His respect for children and teens, blended with his love of his profession, is displayed in how he is always cutting jokes, telling stories, and dressing up to get kids to laugh. And the staff have fun too. Girdwood Orthodontics creates an enjoyable experience for all who walk through their doors!
