I am truly blessed to be an orthodontist. It allows me to live by the adage, Love what you do and you wont have to work a day in your life. Thats how I feel as I come into Rangewood Orthodontics each and every day. Coming to work allows me to work as an artist uncovering a beautiful, unique smile found in each one of our patients while creating new lasting relationships in my community. I believe our work brings about positive, lasting changes in the lives of our patients!
Each day I get to spend time with fascinating people from a variety of backgrounds. They all have stories to tell, and we often end up sharing our stories and experiences. We become partners, working together toward the shared goal of a beautiful, healthy smile. One that will last a lifetime. Dr. Chad
Dr. Chad Watts attended Gonzaga University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. While he initially thought he was going to be a scientist, a personal experience led him to become passionate about changing peoples lives through their smiles.
Knowing his new calling, Dr. Chad attended Oregon Health Sciences University where he was awarded a Doctorate of Dental Medicine and graduated near the top of his class. He was honored to have worked with some of the top scientists in oral microbiology, receiving the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants all four years while in dental school. He was fortunate enough to have his research published and presented at the NIH annual meeting.
Following graduation with his DMD, Dr. Chad served as a comprehensive dentist taking care of our Army and Air Force troops at Elmendorf AFB, AK. With strong recommendations from his Command, he was accepted into the militarys highly competitive Tri-Services Orthodontic Residency Program, in San Antonio, TX. After graduating from Wilford Hall Medical Center, Dr. Chad and his family spent three incredible years stationed in Misawa, Japan, as he served as the Chief of Orthodontics serving Army, Navy, and Air Force members and their families.
Orthodontics is a constantly changing profession. The ongoing developments in technology such as Insignia custom braces, Invisalign, and custom lingual braces allow new approaches to treatment, resulting in a better experience for patients and even more amazing smiles. By actively pursuing continuing education, locally and nationally, Dr. Chad can ensure that he is always current on the newest treatment options.
Dr. Chads most famous for being impaled by half-inch rebar while fishing in a local river and surviving a rare bacterial infection. His favorite activity, by far, is spending time with his wife Jenee and their four amazing kids, Carter, Jenna, Cohen, and Caden. In his free time, you will find him on the soccer field, lacrosse field, or fly fishing throughout the Northwest trout and salmon streams. Being outside is a priority away from the office, as is his love for barbecue with friends.
Dr. Chad and his wife founded the El Paso County chapter of Smile for a Lifetime, an organization that enables them to provide free orthodontic treatment for up to 12 children a year. They are also the volunteer orthodontists for Kids in Need of Dentistry, and active in multiple high schools, middle schools and elementary schools in Colorado Springs, Fountain, Manitou Springs, Monument,Castle Rock, and Woodland Park.
I am truly blessed that I was introduced to the profession at a young age, through my dad who is also an orthodontist, and I quickly fell in love. My fondest memories are of sitting at the workbench in our garage at night helping him make retainers, or watching him put braces on my Cabbage Patch dolls.
Orthodontics combines two of my passions: working with my hands and meeting new people. Each day, I get to spend time talking with my patients and learning fascinating new stories from people of all different backgrounds. As we talk and joke it builds a special rapport as we work together towards the shared goal of a beautiful, healthy smile. I love when my patients return years later with family or friends and I hear all the amazing stories of the things they are going on to accomplish! I love using my talents to bring about positive, lasting changes in the lives of my patients, and, quite literally, giving them a reason to smile. Dr. Kaplan

After graduation, she continued her education at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California, where she was awarded her Doctorate of Dental Science and graduated near the top of her class. Dr. Kaplan was then accepted into the highly competitive Orthodontic Residency Program at Loma Linda where she earned her Masters degree.

Dr. Kaplan grew up in Nipomo, California, and has lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado for the last five years. She and her husband, Dr. Chad Watts, have four children, Carter, Jenna, Cohen, and Caden.

It's incredibly disappointing that the ownership transfer of the Castle Rock location has gone so poorly. The new management has essentially abandoned the patients at the Castle Rock location. Phone calls and emails go unreturned and promises to follow up on things never happen. I have left voicemails for both the smile studio and the Rangewood orthodontics treatment coordinator, all of which go on returned. I had to move my children to a different orthodontic office in the area, which thankfully they were able to accommodate us this late into our treatment schedule. We loved Dr. Kaplan and received absolutely zero notification or information on her selling this location to an entirely different company. I am still waiting on a refund/financial settlement for canceling our treatment here and moving to a different provider. I would not recommend this practice at any location after this very poorly executed sale and treatment of current paying customers.

I did not want to leave a bad review here but unfortunately after being ghosted since getting my braces off I am let down by the business. I got my braces off on June 3rd 2021 and almost immediately after getting home I realized how my bite was still off by a good amount. I then scheduled an appointment to have a consultation to see what could be done to fix my issue, during the consultation I was told that I was "Lucky I was allowed to have them on longer than my contract said it would take." even though I had already paid all my dues, and was willing to pay more, this comment made me feel lesser than and was not appreciated. I was then told I would need to get braces put back on and anchors screwed into my jaw in order to make a more even smile, I was confused why I was not told this or asked if I wanted to add the anchors the year prior when I started coming to Rangewood for my braces (that were previously placed on before I moved to Colorado) as I assume that a year and some months would be plenty of time to change the result of my smile. Regardless I agreed and even said I'd have NO issue paying for another set and getting the anchors etc., then another comment I did not appreciate was being told that its partly because of my uneven face and that "Filler and threading (cosmetic procedures) could help even out my face." if I were to not get another round of braces. Regardless again of all of this I still said I'd love to start looking into another set with anchors and that all I wanted was an even smile, they (Orthodontist and billing lady) said that they would write me up a price point and email me, well a year later (and some days) I was never contacted, not once, not even for my retainer check up which should have been 3-4 months after my braces were off. I decided not to reach out because I was so upset after this, but finally I feel its time for a review. I'm so entirely disappointed in my treatment after paying my contract, its like I was nothing once they did not have me as a client anymore, even though I was more than willing to give them more business.

Dr. Kaplan is very knowledgeable and friendly. She takes the time to explain every part of the process and we were able to get our son's braces off earlier than we thought. The staff was also friendly and helpful setting up our appointments. We were always made to feel welcomed each and every time we came in. We were very pleased with the work done on his smile. Thanks!

The service at Rangewood was top-notch! Dr. Kaplan was very informative when I went in for a consultation, and helped me make the tough decision to get braces at 31 years old. Her expertise allowed me to finish treatment in under 10 months, and my teeth have never looked better.
