Trevor and his wife, Brenda, and their children, Jose, Aleysha, Carlos, and Johanna, reside in Syracuse, New York. Trace and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Conneautville. Josh and Kara welcomed their new baby girl, Lilly, on May 27, 2011. They are stationed at Luke AFB in Phoenix, AZ. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family, especially my grandchildren.
I love Orthodontics because... I have always loved working with people. Putting children at ease when they come into our office is important to me. I want their experience with us to be fun, since they will be coming to us for a few years. I let the younger patients know that I will treat them as though they were my children. At Dr. Smith's office... I am one of Dr. Smith's assistants. Also, I am the treatment coordinator. When you come in for your consult, I am responsible for your records viewed by you and Dr. Smith. Your records would be the x-rays, models and photos that we previously performed on you. We at Dr. Smith's office want your treatment visits with us to be an enjoyable experience. The end result is a BEAUTIFUL SMILE that will last a lifetime!
