Dr. Edmund Ed Yepez grew up in St. Louis County and attended the Parkway Schools Weber Elementary (currently the Creve Coeur City Hall) and East Junior High (now Northeast Middle School). He graduated from DeSmet Jesuit High School in 1980.
Fortune smiled upon him again when he joined the practice of Donald R. Oliver (the man who originally inspired Dr. Yepez, then a teenager, to become an orthodontist)! Dr. Oliver is a mentor, advisor and friend.
