We truly believe in furthering our education so that we can learn all we can. This not only benefits us but also helps our patients. We use this knowledge to give you the most up-to-date treatments so that you can have a smile that you are proud to show off.

We are proud to offer many different technologies so that you can get straight teeth in a way that works for you. We would be glad to go over all of your options so that together we can make the right decision for you and your mouth.

We also know how scary it can be to go to the dentist and orthodontist. Many people fear coming in, so we do everything that we can to provide a calm and comfortable environment. Our staff is great at what they do. They are here to discuss any of your concerns and put you at ease.

There is also nothing worse than feeling like you are not able to discuss your teeth with your orthodontist. We dont want you to feel that way, so we are all here to help answer any questions you may have, no matter how silly you think they are. We can assure you that we have heard most of them already!

Dr. Anthony moved to Danville in 1970 with his parents and two younger sisters, where he attended the old Charlotte Wood Middle School. Originally from Minneapolis MN, his family also lived in Chicago and upstate New York. Some of Dr. Anthonys earlier childhood interests included building go-carts, sketching/drafting homes, and making model cars and planes. He has so many fond memories from his childhood of camping, canoeing, hunting, and fishing with his father and grandfather in the wilderness areas on the Canadian border of Northern Minnesota.

Throughout Dr. Anthonys young adult life, his main hobby was fixing-up and customizing cars. His first project was a classic 1962 Austin Healy Roadster. Some of his other projects included restoring a 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible muscle-car, a few Fiat coupes, a 1969 Jaguar XKE, and a 1962 Chevy pickup with a same-era overhead camper top.

Dr. Anthony attended San Ramon Valley High School where he was on the varsity football, wrestling, and track teams. After graduating, he attended the University of California at Berkeley and graduated with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Physiology. Subsequently he completed his dental education at the University of Southern California receiving his D.D.S degree in 1985. He was president of the Psi Omega Dental Fraternity and a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society.

After practicing as an Associate General Dentist in Southern California for a year, Dr. Anthony returned to USC to begin post-graduate orthodontic residency training. In 1990 he obtained his Certificate in Orthodontics and Master of Science (M.S.) Degree in Craniofacial Biology. Later that same year, the Blackhawk Medical Center was constructed and Dr, Anthony found a home for his practice. With the help of his mother Elaine (interior designer-real estate broker) and architect Gary Osterman, the office design was featured as Office of the Month in the nationally published May 1994 edition of Dental Economics.

Dr. Anthony met his wife Michele in early 1999. She is a wonderful cook, loves to travel, and is an accomplished skier. They were married in September 2001 and moved to their present residence in Danville. The couple was blessed in 2002 with the birth of their son, Ryan. He is active in baseball, swimming, and skiing. He is taking piano lessons, loves to draw, and is most happy playing at the beach. The family can always be found up at Lake Tahoe either hiking, biking, skiing, or relaxing at the beach.

Dr. Anthony was asked by his colleagues at the USC Graduate Orthodontic Department to return to teach week-long courses in clinical orthodontics to the second-year residents. This in itself was gratifying; however, it really was a special treat to join his two favorite teachers, Dr. Harry Dougherty and Dr. Keith Tanaka at the sessions. Both doctors ran the USC Orthodontic Department for over 35 years before retiring in the early 1990s. Their knowledge and expertise is unsurpassed in the field. They have taught more board certified orthodontists than any other educator in the country.

Dental Assistant I am a graduate of Bryman College Dental Assisting School in San Francisco and have been with Dr. Anthony since 2002. I enjoy working with Dr. Anthony and our awesome team. The most rewarding part of my job is bonding with our patients throughout their treatment, and seeing them with their beautiful smiles after they get their braces off. When I am not at work, I love spending quality time with my husband and four children.

Dental Assistant I have been working at Blackhawk Orthodontics since July 2010 after attending the dental assisting program at Western Career College in Antioch. I love working with Dr. Anthony and the staff. It is always a fun and upbeat atmosphere. I look forward to seeing all our patients grow as we work to provide them with beautiful smiles that will last a lifetime. When I am at home, I enjoy my time with my two children and my husband, Diego.

Treatment Coordinator / Financial and Patient Relations I joined the Blackhawk Orthodontic team in 2010 as the Scheduling Coordinator, and was promoted to Treatment Coordinator a few years later. After a cross country move, I returned to my current position in 2017. I thoroughly enjoy working with all the wonderful families that come through our office. Since I live close to the office, it is a pleasure seeing patients outside of the office. When I am not at the office, I enjoy every moment being back here in California.

Office Manager After a long hiatus to raise my family, I joined the staff at Blackhawk Orthodontics in early 2019. My background is in business management, and I am thrilled to be bringing Dr. Anthony and the staff up to date with current management practices. Our staff is enthusiastic about providing the best patient care possible. Any free time I may have is spent with my family and friends.

Scheduling Coordinator I joined Blackhawk Orthodontics at the end of 2018. I am new to the world of orthodonture, but am having a great time and learning so much. Being in the front of the office, I look forward to getting to know all the families and seeing all the beautiful smiles of our patients. Outside of the office, I absolutely love spending time with my young family and friends.
