Painfully shy and insecure about my appearance, it wasnt until after I got braces that I began to come out of my shell. By the time I was 16 years old, I knew I wanted to make orthodontics my lifes work.
For over three decades, my team and I have helped more than 10,000 people love their smile and gain a confidence they never thought possible. Im grateful for the opportunity to serve my patients every single day.
When Im not at the office, I love spending time with my wife and soulmate, Cindy, and catching up with our four grown children, their spouses, and our three adorable grandsons. I enjoy fly fishing, golf, upland bird hunting, and water sportsbut I like to say Im a permanent beginner. (Im just not particularly good at any of them!)

Dr. Stark is amazing. He is so caring and kindhearted and makes you feel at ease. He also is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure to explain things in a way that is easy to understand. He calls to check up on you and make sure you're doing okay and makes himself available to ensure you feel well taken care of. I'm very grateful to have found the absolute best orthodontist around!

Everything about our experience with Dr Stark and his staff was fantastic and top notch. My son was able to go to his appointments himself and they worked with us in getting his appointments to work with his school schedule. Dr Stark is a great orthodontist and person who cares about his patients.

Not only is Dr. Stark great at what he does, he is so kind and caring with all his patients. He walked me through every step and explained all my options to me. His staff is wonderful! I am sad my treatment is over and I won't get to see them anymore. I recommend his office to anyone who asks about my treatment. But in the end I love my new smile!

Dr. Stark leaves the guess work out of orthodontic care! He's incredibly kind and explanatory of his methods. We found it incredible that he remembers details of conversations from prior visits to be able to continue to discuss with his patients. Dr. Stark, and all his staff, are very personable and helpful! I would highly recommend Dr. Stark for any orthodontic needs!

I actually went to Stark myself as well as my both of my of daughters. It is yet to be showing whether or not my son will need braces or not. Invisalign just seems like my original retainer or mouth guards that go over all of your teeth. My oldest seem to enjoy having them to be able to take them out while she eats and I have a big huge stick out there like a green thumb metal flyer in her mouth
