Dr. Doug Gordon grew up in Carlisle, a small town south of Dayton, where his father was a 6th grade teacher, and watching his father in his classroom helped him know from an early age that he wanted to work with children in some capacity. So, after college Doug entered dental school at the University of Kentucky hoping to specialize in pediatric dentistry and spent the following three years at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati to reach that goal. While training there, Dr. Gordon was exposed to basic orthodontics for kids. He loved that experience so much that he decided to get a second specialty in orthodontics.
Dr. Gordon headed back to his alma mater in Lexington from 1995 to 1998 to complete a master's degree and certificate in orthodontics. Immediately following graduation, he began practicing in Greenville, later adding a Troy location in 2006.
Doug used to enjoy hobbies in his spare time, however, he and his wife Michelle were blessed with three children. Now the Gordon family is busy with diapers and Disney Junior and have never been happier!
Lindsay DeSantis grew up in Williamsburg, Indiana, and attended Northeastern High School, where she graduated as valedictorian. As a teenager, she was a patient of Dr. Gordons. She earned her undergraduate degree from DePauw University, a masters degree from IUPUI, and her doctoral degree from the Indiana University School of Dentistry. During dental school, she received the American Association of Orthodontists Award for exceptional interest in the development of the oro-facial complex, given to one senior in her class. She then went on to complete her Master of Science in Dentistry and orthodontic residency program at the Indiana University Department of Orthodontics and Oral Facial Genetics.
Lindsay is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. She has taken a step beyond most orthodontists to become board certified. Certification means that an orthodontist has successfully completed a rigorous examination of her or her skills, knowledge, and expertise by having her own patient cases evaluated and graded on the quality of the finished result by her own peers. Lindsay has also been published in the Journal of Dental Education for her orthodontic research.
In addition to her academic pursuits, Lindsay enjoys many outdoor activities including running, waterskiing and fishing. She loves to travel and has experienced some of her happiest memories participating in medical mission trips to Ecuador and El Salvador during college. Serving others is meaningful to her, which is obvious to all her patients. Of course, one of her greatest enjoyments is spending time with family and friends.

My son was referred here by our regular dentist and I'm so glad we were. They have been nothing but great to us. As soon as you walk in the door you are welcomed by everyone. Front desk people are so friendly and always smiling . When my son gets called to go back you are greeted again with more smiling faces and they interact with the child being seen. It makes me so happy! My son needed expanders and being new to this I was very nervous for my son to get them but they made the process very easy and they made sure you understood everything. The best part was the girls showing him how they look, what they do, how to turn em, he was able to feel them ect... The lady taking the expressions was super friendly, the lady putting them in for the first time and adjusting them so well to fit my sons mouth. She even called to check in on him to see how well he was doing a few hrs after we left. When he got his expanders in he got to write his name on the wall, got a bag, toothbrush, and even a shirt!!! They definitely take care of their patients. Every visit was amazing here. No complaints what so ever. We will ALWAYS come back here for any future needs.

Dr Gordon & Dr DeSantis have a great practice! Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We've finished braces for my son with them and they've followed my daughter since she was tiny because of her thumb sucking. She's been through more work (Expanders, retainers) and now we're getting ready to start her braces soon. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

Both orthodontists take their time with you as a patient and have down to earth personalities. My experience here has been amazing. From start to finish, Dr. Lindsey has been a great mix of professional and personable. The entire staff has always been polite and knowledgeable. With it being my second time with braces I sought a different orthodontist than my previous one and they did not disappoint. Thank you for the amazing smile!

I 100% reccomend Gordon & DeSantis! As an adult, I was hesitant to get braces.. but I'm so glad I did! The staff was all so friendly, helpful, caring and understanding of my desire to have a beautiful smile. The facility is extremely clean, and they are taking extra precautions with covid. I get my braces off in a month, and I'm honestly disappointed that I don't get to visit their office anymore... but I'm very excited about my new smile!

Took my granddaughter today for her braces. Was worried about how it would go but the ladies were really friendly and talk to Cat during all the work so she knew what to expect. Gave us advice to make it easier for her and i really appreciate that.
