Dr. Giselle Cabrera is a South Florida native, born and raised in Miami, Florida. Her interest in dentistry began at a young age, however it wasnt until her freshman year of college that she truly embraced her passion for orthodontics and decided to pursue orthodontics as a lifelong career. Dr. G worked as an orthodontic assistant while completing her undergraduate studies at the University of Miami (GO CANES)!

After completing dental school Dr. G moved to New York City and completed two years of a general practice residency, serving as chief resident with a concentration in orthodontics. During that time, she published a case report on treating a patient with Cherubism in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.

Dr. G returned to BronxCare Health System, after one year in private practice, in order to complete a three year Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics residency program. She served as chief resident in her final year as well as a resident champion for two years representing her program at national conferences.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, Dr. Richard Rothstein grew up in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of New York City. His mother taught scienceinthe New York school system and his father, a scrupulously honest business man, was a store owner, landlord, and stock broker. As most New Yorkers, Richard was involved in sportsdespite his moderate size, he played mucho basketball and in college, was selected for the Intramural all-star teamonly 10 individuals from over 10,000 in the intramural system were selected. He was also a die-hard Yankee fan! As a young man he became a water ski instructor at a camp in upstate New York, teaching the children, counselors and owners how to do all the fancy things one can do on skisski backwards and sideways, jump, slalom, rotate 360 degrees, etc. He invented a technique where he reconfigured skis so that young, small children could experience the thrill of safely walking on water.

Dr. Rothstein always had a love for all things outdoors. His parents raised him to respect all living things. As a result of that socialization, throughout his life, hes had an extreme sensitivity toward the other things with which we share the planet as well as the wild areas within which they live. For the longest time hes been an advocate for protecting animals and conserving the environment. As a logical extension of his love of the natural world, he took up photography at a very early age. (Yeah, he started with a Brownie). As his photographic proficiency grew, his focus was such that he specialized in scenic and wildlife images. He has won numerous contests, been published in books and magazines and his work has appeared in galleries. Among his more recent accomplishments was winning the Miami Herald Travel Photo Contest where the prize was a safari to Africa. His most prestigious achievement occurred recently where he was selected as a Highly Honored Winner in the Natures Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Photo Contest. His photo was selected from over 20,000 entrties and will be on display in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. from April through September, 2011.

Dr. Rothsteins educational background included New York University (Bachelor of Science degree), the University of Pennsylvania (Doctor of Dental Medicine degree) and Fairleigh Dickinson University (Master of Science in Dentistry (Orthodontics)). He spent two years in the United States Air Force as a Captain during the Vietnam War. He practiced for a short time in New York and Ohio before finally settling in Florida.

The four years of college Dr. Rothstein spent at New York University were in the 1960s; the campus was in Greenwich Village, the home and origin of the Hippie movement. At that time, Dr. Rothstein embraced that subculture (without the drugs) for its independent thinking, peace movement, environmental preservation, music, and especially the principle of helping others. Its at that time that the belief of do unto others as you would have others do unto you became a base tenant of his philosophy of life. He carried the importance of that into the way he managed Orthodontics Only and throughout his life.

Dr. Rothstein has been doing Orthodontics since 1973, setting up his own practice in 1985,which he called Orthodontics Only. True to his beliefs, his practice was based upon the concept of doing quality orthodontics in return for a reasonable and affordable fee. He has treated thousands of patients, many of which were third generation patients. He always looked upon his patients as part of his extended family and as such, treated them with respect and kinship. To this day he is still in touch with many of them.

Dr. Rothstein is now in retirement, living part time in Alaska and part time in Florida (and still doing wildlife photography). He greatly misses the patients and staff of Orthodontics Only but hes incredibly grateful to have been able to turn his practice over to Dr. Derek Sanders. Dr. Sanders is an exceptional individual and wonderful Orthodontist. He truly exemplifies the human part of human being, being sensitive and empathetiche thinks about patients the way Dr. Rothstein always did. Hes extremely smart and up to date on the latest orthodontic techniques and philosophies and there could not have been a better person to continue Orthodontics Only. Thank you Dr. Sanders for being who you are and for making Orthodontics Only what it is today.
