Seeing the joy and smiles on my patients faces is what motivates me to provide a truly special and extraordinary orthodontic experience for those in Eau Claire and the greater Chippewa Valley, just like my father when he started our family-owned practice in 1959. I care immensely about the health and wellbeing of the kids and adults in our community, and Im dedicated to providing the highest-quality orthodontic care that creates healthy, amazing smiles that function well and build self-esteem.

Witnessing the life-transforming impact that an improved smile has on peoples lives is remarkable, and thats why Im fully committed to providing care that is tailored to each patients unique needs and goals.

In addition to practicing orthodontics in the area for over 30 years, Eau Claire has always been home to my family. My children and I are deeply rooted in the area and enjoy being active members of the community. We love the many theaters and arts the Chippewa Valley has to offer, and as an avid sports fan, youll see my team colors on full display when our local teams, Packers, or Badgers are competing.

Through my professional affiliations, Im able to connect and collaborate with fellow orthodontists and dentists to allow for continued growth and sharing of knowledge, ensuring that we all provide quality care to the patients we serve. Im proud to be a professional member of the following associations:

The Wisconsin Dental Association has 3,100 member dentists and a number of dental hygienists. The WDA is affiliated with the American Dental Associationthe largest and oldest national dental association in the world.

The American Dental Association (ADA) was established in 1859 and now has more than 163,000 members. As the worlds largest and oldest national dental association, the ADA exists to power the profession of dentistry and assist members in advancing the overall oral health of their patients.

Providing the highest-quality orthodontic care to all my patients in the Chippewa Valley is my top priority, and I consider myself lucky to work in a profession where I have the opportunity to meet and get to know so many good people with such diverse interests and backgrounds. After being introduced to dentistry at a young age through my father and his work as a dental technician, I was drawn to the problem-solving, hands-on nature of the profession.

Over the past 30+ years as an orthodontist, Ive had the privilege to work alongside the most professional and caring staff. The fascination and satisfaction of transforming a patients smile into a healthy, functional smile they can be confident in continues to motivate me today! In a profession like orthodontics, you never stop learning, and Im committed to advancing my practice and utilizing cutting-edge technology when it benefits patients and their care.

Im proud and honored to provide top-quality orthodontic care and specialized orthodontic treatments, including braces and Invisalignclear aligners to people of all ages in Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Menomonie, and the surrounding communities in the Chippewa Valley.

My wife, Carol, and I live near Fall Creek with our labradoodles, Max and Charlie. We enjoy spending time with family, exploring Wisconsin and Minnesota, fishing, and bowling. In my free time, I enjoy collecting and restoring vintage John Deere farm machinery, as I farmed in Illinois for 20 years. I also enjoy studying history, listening to all genres of music from album rock to zydeco, and learning to play the Chemnitzer concertina in honor of my Polish and Czech heritage.

The true value I find in my work as an orthodontist is helping people and patients have positive treatment journeys and outcomes. I strive every day to meet the individual needs of my patients, ensuring that they have exceptional orthodontic experiences while developing beautiful, healthy smiles that build confidence and improve their lives.

While in dental school, I learned about the transformative impact that orthodontic therapy has on peoples lives, and I knew that I wanted to be a facilitator of those powerful changes. After my four years of dental school, I completed two additional years of specialized orthodontic training on the safe and healthy movement of teeth and jaws. I continually strive to stay on the leading edge of orthodontic treatment and care to provide my patients with the most advanced options available.

Im proud and honored to provide top-quality orthodontic care and specialized orthodontic treatments, including braces and Invisalignclear aligners, to people of all ages in Baldwin, New Richmond, Amery, River Falls, and the surrounding communities in the St. Croix Valley.

Originally from Utah, growing up I celebrated the summers watching rodeos and the winters snowshoeing the slopes. My wife Alex and I met in college during a study abroad in Cambridge, England. We have two boys, Bruce and Will, and a large poodle named Hercules. Our family loves going on nature walks and visiting the beach, and you may see me cycling on my road bike around the St. Croix Valley. We enjoy being active in both our local community and church.
