A smile can give someone the confidence and self-esteem to excel in life. This is what I love about being an orthodontistit allows me to positively impact peoples lives. I approach each day with great enthusiasm and Im thankful to have a career that Im passionate about.

I was born and raised in Miami and attended Palmetto for both middle and high school. Im grateful that I can serve the community that I grew up in, creating beautiful smiles for generations of South Florida families.

Creating a beautiful smile takes time, and I truly value the relationships we build with our patients during treatment. I love the journey of transforming each smile and watching the personalities of our patients blossom throughout treatment.

I consider it an honor to be able to donate my services and value the experience of giving to others in need, and I volunteer my time as a member of the Craniofacial Team at Nicklaus Childrens Hospital.

Ive achieved board certification, and Im dedicated to staying at the forefront of the fields of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Thats why I remain active in my continued education and am a member of these distinguished professional memberships:

Both my father, Scott, and my brother, Brad, are periodontists in South Florida. As someone who values his family, Im extremely fortunate to be able to live close and interact with them almost every day.

I am currently the President of the Northern Atlantic Component of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontics, a prestigious group of orthodontists who have been board-certified and present the most current research in orthodontics every year.

Our son, Ryan, is a firefighter with Miami/Dade County and his wife, Jessica, is an attorney specializing in construction law. Our daughter, Shani, is a lawyer and my office bookkeeper/techie, and her husband, David, is an attorney specializing in traffic law. We have four grandchildren: Hanna, Moie, Milo, and Rori.

I am most devoted to my family and appreciate my good fortune that they live nearby and we can share our day-to-day experiences with them. I am also an ardent sports fan and follow the Miami Heat, Marlins, and Dolphins.

At Orthodontics of South Miami, we take pride in giving your family the finest orthodontic care. Our team loves what they do, so much so that many team members have worked with us for more than 30 years!

We approach your orthodontic treatment with extreme detail and professionalism and we truly enjoy the process of working with you to meet your smile goals. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working together.

Working with Orthodontics of South Miami for more than 30 years allows me to wear many hats in the office. I take care of everything from A to Z, including making the worlds best Cuban coffee every day at 3 pm!

I have worked with Orthodontics of South Miami for more than 30 years and Ive had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Rothenberg for even longer than that. In fact, he was my orthodontist when I was a teenager!

Now, I am happy to work alongside both Dr. Ross and Dr. Rothenberg to provide the same level of care I received myself. Even after many years of being an orthodontic assistant, its still fun and rewarding to see our patients results and watch them grow.

I was born and raised in Miami, FL. My family is native to Colombia and Mexico. I have always had an interest in Orthodontics and love to be hands on. I joined the Orthodontics of South Miami team back in July 2020 and lucky to be on such a great team. I am currently in school to become a software engineer. When I am not at work or in school, I enjoy spending time with my cat Daisy. Something interesting about me, is that I have a fear of heights.

I'm originally from Naples, FL and moved to Miami to attend FIU. I am currently completing my Master of Public Health with a concentration in Epidemiology and will go onto Medical School in the future.

I love spending time with my family, friends, puppies and going to the gym. We have three pomskys named Maila, Obi, and Ruby! In my spare time I volunteer for Make-A-Wish and intern with Baptist Hospital helping their team with an MPH aspect on their Health Hub initiative.

Believe it or not, I've been an orthodontic assistant for a little over 20 years! Within that time I've had the pleasure to work with Dr. Ross for about 10 years. Meeting new people and being able to assist with making beautiful smiles is something I enjoy. In my spare time I travel with my husband, kids and fur baby, which you may see him on occasion in the office with his blue mohawk!

I am originally from New Jersey, but have been living in Miami for many years. I have been working for a very long time and have experience in a lot of different fields! Although I have only been with Orthodontics of South Miami for a year I have a few years of experience in the dental field! I have held a few different positions and have learned a lot about the dental field. I love helping new patients acclimate to our office and if you have any questions throughout your treatment I am more than happy to help!

I have two beautiful daughters who are my driving force and when I'm not working I try to provide them with fun activities and teaching them as many new things as possible. I look forward to meeting you!
