Not only does the practice oforthodontics enable me to create beautiful smiles andimprove oral health,it also allows me to become part of each patients life. Although the treatment journey can be challenging at times, my team and I try to make it as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

Being an orthodontist is a dream come true. I knewin 5th gradethat I was going to be an orthodontist. My mom and my two orthodontists, Drs. Gaston and Price,influenced and encouraged me to follow that dream. After practicing for more than 40 years, I still love what I do.

Orthodontics allows me to build friendships with many people and their families. It blends art, science, and technical expertise to create beautiful, confident smiles and friendships. I appreciate the opportunity to transform a timid, self-conscious child into a strong, confident adult and to help my adult patients develop the beautiful smile theyve long desired.

My team is amazing! They project care, confidence, and professionalism. With more than 115 years of combined orthodontic experience, they have the knowledge and passion to provide the highest quality of clinical care and customer service.

Im proud of the reputation weve built in the Lafayette community, and a lot of that is due to my remarkable staff. It is an honor to be seeing and treating the grandchildren of some of our first patients today. That confidence and commitment from our patient family means everything to us and keeps us going!

More than 40 years after completing my formal orthodontic studies, Im still actively learning about the specialty. Im very involved in our local chapter of Spear Education, an internationally renowned continuing education forum. I also regularly attend orthodontic meetings and lectureslocally, regionally, and nationally.

Born andraised in Monroe, I have made Lafayettemy home since 1977. My amazing wife,Rocks Ann,and I have two beautifuldaughters: Lindsey Saterfiel, who is a general dentist right next door, and Emily, whois an estate manager in Los Angeles. We have three grandkids who live closeby so we get to spend a lot of time with them. I will do anything and everythingpossible to guide, nourish and love them the bestI can.

Im also active in our community. Ive been involved with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Games of Acadiana, and Donated Dental Services. These organizations provide a way for me to thank Lafayette for the blessings that have been bestowed on me, and to strengthen and make our community happier and healthier.

I enjoy visiting and building relationships with our patients and parents.This office feels like family: Dr. Searcy and our team work hard to support our patients during treatment and genuinely care about their comfort and happiness.

I handle all aspects on the financial side of your orthodontic treatment. This includes facilitating contracts and payment arrangements with patients as well as payroll and accounts receivable. I will be happy to answer any questions you mayhave regarding your treatment to help you on your way to a beautiful, Searcy smile!

Outside the office, I treasure time with my two daughters, Claudia and Chloe, my husbandKyle, and his two children, Cameron and Amanda. Im a certified personal fitness trainer and love a great workout, as well as tending my flower beds.

I like watching the personal changes our patients go through as they accomplish their best smile and knowing weve made a difference in their lives. Dr. Searcy treats every patient as he would a family member. He is personable and trustworthy, and so are our team members!

I work with new patients at their initial exams, review treatment plans, and present financial options to patients and families. I also assist in the operatory and laboratory when needed and manage our staff and patient relations, too.

Outside of work, I spend much of my time with my family. My husband Richard and I have been married for almost 40 years. We are blessed with three daughters, two wonderful sons-in-law, and two beautiful grandbabies. I love sports football, baseball, and volleyball and I played, coached, and umpired softball for many years.

I like talking with and getting to know patients during their orthodontic treatment. Its good to build friendships while helping people make lasting, positive changes in their lives! Searcy Orthodontics is my family-away-from-home. We all care about each other and our patients.

I like learning something new every day, as we work to give our patients their most beautiful smiles! Its enjoyable to watch patients grow into themselves and then come back to Searcy Orthodontics as adults, when they bringin their children and grandchildren. Our office is a close family that cares about our patients.

My time off is family centered: Ive been married for almost 40 years and have a son and daughter, as well as four delightful grandchildren. I love spending lots of time with my grandchildren, and attending all of their sporting events and school functions. I also love working in my yard, picking flowers with my granddaughter, and playing with my Yorkie puppy, Jiminy Cricket.

I began working in dentistry in 1992 and brought my many years of experience to Searcy Orthodontics in 2012. Getting to know our patients and building relationships with them while they undergo orthodontic treatment is the best! Each person is unique and makes each day special.

I've been working in the orthodontic field for over 20 years, I have assisted chair side as well as many years on the administrative side. I fell in love with orthodontics at a young age and have a passion for improving and making people smile daily!

I work with Dr. Searcy and the rest of the team in marketing and dental outreach within the community. I handle all aspects of public relations in addition to visiting our parterning dental professionals from time to time.

I'm married with two sweet kiddos and in my off time I like to spend time with them in ANYoutdoor setting. I also love to read and run. When I'm not at the office I work as a Health and Wellness Coach. I'm currently studying for my personal fitness trainer certification as well.

I've been in the dental field for 3 years. I attended Delta College and received my certification in Dental Assisting. I love working at Searcy Orthodontics mostly because of my amazing coworkers. We really are a family!

I take x rays and photos on our new patients and also final records once treatment is complete. I'm also responsible for retainers that we make in-house as well as taking impressions and trimming models.
