As a board certified Pediatric Dentist, Dr. Shepherd has focused his practice on a passion for non-invasive dentistry for children. He graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 2009. He takes great pride in developing caring relationships with patients, making visiting the dentist a great experience for both the child and parents. This Our Own Child philosophy has carried him into community involvement with children having less fortunate dental needs in areas of Utah and throughout the world.
Having taught 5th grade prior to dental school, Dr. Anderson learned the importance of making every new experience fun for your child. He brings to our pediatric dental team an added passion to make all visits to the dentist not only fun, but safe, and educational. Dr. Anderson graduated dental school with honors from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and completed his Pediatric Dental Residency at Cincinnati Childrens Hospital, which is ranked the #3 childrens hospital in the nation.
Dr. Anderson feels blessed that he gets the opportunity to give back to not only the community by providing great dental care, but to parts of the world as well. Every year, he goes on a humanitarian trip to Honduras to provide free dental work to Hondurans who normally wouldnt have access to the type of world-class care he provides to them. Dr. Anderson has provided relief to hundreds of people in Honduras and looks forward to the trip each year.
Dr. Anderson's family of six moved back to Utah in 2017 to enjoy all the outdoor activities. They enjoy skiing, paddle boarding, hiking, and mountain biking. When not working or spending time outdoors, Dr. Anderson is involved in the community through coaching multiple sports teams each hour. He also enjoys searching for great new restaurants in the Utah and Salt Lake Valleys.
Dr. Tracy Law is a dedicated and compassionate Dentist. Dr. Law has engaged in comprehensive pediatric treatment for the past 24 years. Dr. Law exclusively treats patients from infancy to young adulthood, and he truly values his time with all of his patients. Dr. Law loves to make his patients laugh and always makes it a priority to know that they are relaxed and comfortable at all times.
Dr. Law attended Utah State University in Logan, Utah for his undergraduate degree in biology. He then earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry in Richmond Virginia. From there his schooling took him to the University of California San Francisco where he completed his general practice residency. He enjoys many other activities outside the dental office. He has coached youth football, been a scoutmaster and been the head coach for El Diamante High Schools track and field. Dr. Law is married and has three kids of his own, he also has 5 grandchildren. In his free time Dr. Law enjoys spending time outdoors, cycling and skiing. Most importantly, after being away from Utah for 34 years, Dr. Law is so excited to be back home!
Dr. Bowen Miles is a phenomenal Orthodontist. He has been treating patients for 30 years. Dr. Miles is a diamond member of invisalign and believes that invisalign is a powerful orthodontic tool for hygienic and esthetic treatment. Dr. Miles started his schooling at BYU, where he got his BA from the Department of Classical and Asian Languages. He then started his orthodontic training at USC, where he developed many concepts that he still uses today.
Some fun facts about Dr. Miles: he enjoys golf, loves to walk his dog, participate in church activities, and have dinner with his friends. Dr. Miles loves to spend time with his family and travel, though COVID has put a damper on that recently. Dr. Miles likes to sing and has had the opportunity to sing with the Desert Chorale, a community choir in Las Vegas. He is also a big fan of Garrison Keillor, BYU sports, the Utah Jazz, the Manhattan Transfer, and the suspense of mystery novels.

We love Dr Shepherd! We go to him as our dentist and orthodontist. He is so good with the kids and is good at explaining what is happening. Staff is also fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

They always do a great job! Great atmosphere in and out pretty quickly which is important to me with a 3yo and an 18months old. Very friendly and they always live leaving with their prize at the end.

It's definitely not the cleanest dental office... we come here be the dentists are great. I watch the assistants touch things and put their their fingers in the kids mouth and the don't cavi clean after touching things. Also the ortho side is disorganized. This last time we came the dental assistant that helped my youngest daughter wasn't happy with her job for sure.

We've seen Dr. Shepherd for about a year now. My (then) 3 year old had to get a crown and Dr. Shepherd made the whole situation easier to handle for him. Great bedside manner and the nurses are awesome. Their billing person was also great when trying to get everything worked out. Just made their check-up appointments and my 6-year old said, "YAY! I love the dentist!" I think we'll stick around. *Update* it's now 2018 and we still love Dr. Shepherd and Pediatric Smiles of Orem. Starting to talk about braces for my oldest as well, come to find out, they are doing braces now also. **UPDATE** it's now 2022 and we are still patients. We're lifers. Dr. Shepherd is awesome. Their Ortho staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. My son broke his permanent retainer and they got us in same day.

My two daughters have been seeing Dr. Shepherd for 10 years now. Dr. Shepherd is very knowledgeable and kind. He and his staff have always been incredibly patient with my girls, which is especially helpful with my daughter who has special needs. I recommend them with no reservations. And as a bonus, their new office has a beautiful view of the mountains.

I'm so thankful for Pediatric smiles. Dr. Anderson and Dr. Shepard are amazing. My son is immunocompromised so something as simple as a dental cleaning and especially a procedure is a hard situation for us. Dr. Shepard worked so well with us and our hematologists making sure my son got the best care possible. He was so patient as we had to reschedule our procedure 3 times due to health issues and each time he was so understanding. I even had to speak with them after (and before) normal hours and he was so kind and helpful as he eased my concerns and we worked out alternative care plans. I absolutely recommend Dr. Shepard and his office.

Pediatric smiles of Orem has been a great office for our family. The staff is caring and Dr Sheppard has worked with payment to ensure my boys get the best care possible. Hands down one of the best offices I've been in

(Translated by Google) My son had an appointment for a treatment, he is 2 years old, they told me they were going to put him to sleep so they could work on him. The day of the appointment when he asked they tell me that they are only going to give him up and that is how they began his treatment but he began to worry and complain that it hurt so he did not let the doctor finish the treatment and they are charging me for something that they did not finish He didn't even have half the treatment. I talked to them and they didn't want to help me. It is not fair to pay for something that was not finished. (Original) Mi hijo tuvo una cita para un tratamiento el tiene 2 anos me dijeron que lo iban a dormir para poder trabajar en el. El dia de la cita cuando pregunto me dicen que solo lo van a cedar y asi empezaron su tratamiento pero el empezo a inquietarse y quejarse que le dolia a lo cual no dejo al doctor terminar el tratamiento y ami me estan cobrando por algo que no terminaron el no tuvo ni la mitad del tratamiento hable con ellos y no quisieron ayudarme. No es justo pagar por algo que no fue terminado .

I love how friendly all the staff are with my kids. I have 4 kids ages 10 to almost 2 right now and the staff did so well with each of them. My little one was a little nervous and they didn't push her beyond her comfort level; she didn't want to lay down on the chair so they cleaned her teeth while she was sitting up. Such a good experience for them all.
