Dr. Scott C. Schwartz, Dr. Christopher Paladino, and our orthodontic teambelieve in treating each patient as a member of our family. We offer professional, effective care that straightens teeth and creates beautiful smiles, while developing friendships with our patients and their families. Since 1991, weve treated thousands of patients, and thougheach case is unique, we pride ourselves on being perfectionists to create the most ideal result.
I enjoy coming to work every day. My enthusiasm for orthodontics has not waned over the years, and I enjoy the challenges and rewards of caring for my patients. Even though our practice has grown, we still give the same attention and care to every patient who comes to us, and treateveryonewith respect and compassion.
I love helping to increase a patients self-esteemby transforming their smile. When patients are confident in their appearance, you can see the change in every aspect of their life. Not every profession allows a practitioner to make a lasting, positive difference, but orthodontics allows me to do just that, each and every day.
Throughout the year, I seek out and participate in continuing education offerings through courses, lectures, and meetings. It is essential that I stay on the leading edge of orthodontics, in order to provide our patients with the most effective treatment options, and using the latest technologies, which shorten treatment times and improve results. I am committed to providing my patients with the best care available.

I love my profession. I enjoy coming to work every day and treating my patients. It is amazing to interact with so many different people, all with unique personalities, throughout the day, and I find our conversations to be fascinating and stimulating.

I enjoy being able to help people, which increases everypatients self-confidence and self-esteem. Along the way, I get to know each patient and develop a relationship with them. Those exchanges we have, and the connections we make, are rewarding.
I believe it is imperative that I stay abreast of the latest advances in oral healthcare and orthodontics. Being able to continue to provide my patients with the most up-to-date, proven treatment modalities and processes is essential, so I attend numerous meetings and take a number of courses each year to stay informed.
We recognize that all 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.
Each patient we see and care for is amazing. I love learning about them and their interests, and look forward to their visits. I work at our front desk: welcoming patients, answering our phones, scheduling, and answering patient questions. I am busy, but never too busy for a quick chat!
Getting to know our patients, and becoming friends with them, makes me love my job. I really enjoy learning about each patients life, whether its their school activities or what they do for fun. I welcome and seat our patients, track the diagnostic records, and am a chairside assistant, too.
I love getting to spend time with our patients talking and laughing with them. This is a happy place, and our patients bring a lot of life to the office. I bring patients into our treatment areas, work in our on-site laboratory, and sterilize our instruments and equipment.
I work with my friends, and not many people are that lucky. Our staff is very patient-focused and each of us loves being able to provide excellent, professional care to those we see and treat. I oversee the financial aspects of our business and am the patient coordinator, as well.
I love being able to help our patients make the most of their insurance benefits, which ensures that they get the treatment they need, when they need it. Seeing the relief on a parents face when they realize they have the coverage they need, is wonderful. I verify patient insurance, coordinate benefits, and am the liaison between patients and the insurance companies, as well.
Meeting our new patients and their families, and developing friendships with them as we get to know each other, is so rewarding. Hearing their stories and learning about their hobbies always makes me smile. I handle patient billing and collection issues for our practice.
I love meeting our new patients and then following them as they move through orthodontic treatment. Seeing their personalities develop and their self-esteem increase is very rewarding.
