I appreciate you taking the time to check out our practice! At Star Orthodontics, we strive to deliver the best imaginable results in the most efficient manner possible. Ive been with Star Orthodontics since 2008 and I absolutely love creating beautiful, healthy smiles for my patients.

I received my DDS degree with Distinction in 2003 then completed my orthodontic residency and Masters degree all from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (go Tar Heels!). Giving back to our community is extremely important to me. That is why I launched a scholarship program where we provide braces at no cost to disadvantaged children. I am so grateful to be in a profession that not only provides kids with healthy, brand new smiles, but also boosts their self-esteem. We are all more capable of reaching our full potential when we feel good about ourselves. I love being able to be part of that.

My wife, Liz, and I live in Matthews with our four unique, challenging and amazing children. We love spending time together as a family, especially traveling and cheering our favorite teams (Tar Heels, Panthers and Hornets). Liz and I have completed many races together, including the NYC Marathon, which I am extremely proud of. Im also passionate about photography, and I hope to someday be as good as my Pulitzer Prize winning uncle.

I truly love people and taking care of them. Doing everything possible to treat my patients and staff with kindness, respect, and compassion brings me great joy. I will always take the time to explain your treatment options or cover any questions or concerns you have, so please dont hesitate to ask. I look forward to giving you the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve!

They are always on my level and always know how to bring a smile to my face. If you're looking for quality care with brilliant people then look no more. I will recommend them to all my friends!

This is such a great office and staff. It's clean and welcoming. They respect your time and are very warm and professional. Dr. Dickens is so great with kids and teens and really puts them at ease making everything easier for everyone.

I love meeting new people and connecting our practice to the manycommunity organizations, athletic associations and local schools that we support. We have an amazing team and I love bragging on my work family! Our Smile for a Lifetime program has put me in touch with some very special people, not only the many grateful families we have helped through the generosity of this wonderful program, but also the board members who serve our chapter. Working at the front desk is so much fun, and it gives me an opportunity to see and assist you!

Outside of work, my heart is happiest when I am spending time with those most precious to me, my family. My husbandand I have abeautifuldaughterand an energetic puppy named Gunner.I lovegetting together with friends, going on nature walks, practicing yoga, baking and reading.

Working at the front desk is the perfect job for me! I love meeting new people and getting to know them as they progress in their orthodontic treatment. Our entire team is truly a pleasure to work with each day. As the Dental Community Coordinator, I am honored to get to know our local dentists and their amazing staff members whenever I get the opportunity to visit their offices.

I am a native of St. Louis, MO. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family, friends and my fur babies. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Scott, for almost 25 years. We have been blessed with four beautiful daughters: Allie, Abbie, Anna and Ava. I stay extremely busy cheering on the girls in their many sporting events and various other activities. In the event I do have some free time, I love being outdoors. I enjoy gardening, hiking, fishing, attending sporting events and dabbling in photography.

My husband Ryan, our two beautiful daughters, and six darling grandchildren keep me occupied with football, baseball, swimming, soccer, and cheer. Im very involved with my church, love to take long walks (especially on the beach), cook, bake, and spend time with our dog, Callie.

I will do everything I can to be sure your experience with us is a positive and pleasant one. Making sure that you feel comfortable and have all the information you need, both in regard to upcoming treatment and flexible payment options, is always my first priority. I love the fun and friendly atmosphere of our office and being part of our teamwe are like family.

My life outside of work revolves mostly around my sons baseball schedule. My husband and I eat, breathe, and sleep baseball several months of the year and we love every minute of it. My favorite place to go is the beach, where youll find me reading and relaxing. I enjoy watching the Atlanta Braves play and supporting our local sports teams, especially the Panthers and the Hornets.

I ensure that the daily financial operations of our practice are overseen so our doctors can concentrate on whats most important: our patients. I work closely with our patients and families to arrange payment schedules to meet their needs. I love my job, the ladies I work with, and our talented doctors. This is my family away from home.

My husband and I have three amazing children; Molly, Katie and Ben. I love spending time with my family and friends, whether we are attending sporting events, concerts, or cooking a special dinner and going out to see a great movie! Its all about making fun memoriesthats what makes me happy.

Believe it or not, I enjoy the insurance related part of my responsibilities! I work hard on behalf of our families to be sure they are taken care of with regard to their insurance coverage and benefits. Keeping our front office running smoothly and efficiently is also part of my job, but with our experienced team, that is easy breezy! I spend more time at work than at home, so everyone here is really a big part of my life and family. Without their friendship and support, it would just be a job.

I married my high school sweetheart, have two wonderful children, and am now a proud Mimi to our grandsons Charlie and Luke, with whom I would spend all my extra time playing with if I could. Going to the beach has always been our favorite family getaway. I never miss a Tar Heel game and supporting the Sarcoma Foundation is very close to my heart.

I adore my patients and love the interaction that I have with each one of them. Challenging cases where I see a dramatic change and working with such a fun group of people are just two of the many reasons why I love my work.

Im a strong supporter of giving back to the community. I volunteer often at my church and have a special interest in helping with the local blood drives. My two teenage sons keep me on my toes, and I try to volunteer at their schools whenever possible. Utah is my happy place. I love four wheeling, hiking, and just generally anything to do with being outdoors!

I truly love orthodontics and feel blessed to work with such a fun, caring, and talented team. I really enjoy getting to know my patients and creating lasting friendships! Bringing an amazing smile to their face and watching them mature and grow is the most rewarding job.

My greatest accomplishment is being a mom to our daughter Kennedi, who keeps my husband Jack and I very busy with her many activities. We love to travel, go to the lake, and enjoy showing our 1968 Camaro at car shows. I am involved at church as the Acteens leader and the Childrens Choir Director.

Seeing the difference that a beautiful smile can make in a persons life and self-esteem is what I love best about being a patient care manager. The care each patient receives from our doctors and the team is always our best effort; we strive for excellence! We are like one big happy family, and I consider it my job to keep everyone laughing with my funny stories, jokes, and goofy comments.

My greatest joy in life is my family. My husband Bill and I are fortunate that our three beautiful daughters and their families all live close by. We love spending time with our precious grandchildren, riding motorcycles, and escaping to North Myrtle Beach as often as possible.

My favorite part of my job is spending time and interacting with our patients. It is so rewarding to see the difference in peoples lives after their smiles have changed. Our team works together like clockwork; its great working in an upbeat environment with so much synergy.

My family is whats most important to me and spending time with them is my favorite thing to do. My husband and I love sports, the thrill of drag races, going to car shows, working on cars and playing with our Cocker Spaniel, Cam. I also enjoy kickboxing at my local 9 Round.
