About Dr. Shane Markey
I love being an orthodontist. It’s truly my dream career. To be chosen by an adult patient, or by parents to care for their child, transforming not only their smile, but also their self-esteem, confidence and character, will always be one of the most humbling and gratifying parts of my job.
My two favorite visits that our patients make with us include the first visit after braces have been placed, when they see changes in their smile, and I see a whole new confidence developing; and the final day, when their braces are removed. When they see their new smile and look back at their starting photographs, they beam from ear to ear. It’s nothing short of awesome! To have this instrumental role in a young person’s life, or to provide an adult patient with the treatment they have longed for their whole life, is tremendously gratifying. To be chosen as ‘their orthodontist’ makes me the lucky one!

About Dr. Fred Arino
What makes orthodontics meaningful to me is the opportunity to get to know the person behind the smile — to understand what this change means to you and work toward a result that will remain part of your life long after your time in our office. Along the way, we get to share what’s happening in your life, celebrate your progress, and build the kind of trust that allows you to speak openly and feel heard. I want you to understand the decisions we make and know that your concerns and goals have a place in every conversation. Whether you’re getting braces for the first time or pursuing a change you’ve thought about for years, I want you to feel supported and excited about what’s ahead.
As we stay the course together, I want the care you receive and the relationships we build to be as meaningful as the result. Our hope is that you’ll leave with a smile that feels like you, the confidence to share it freely, and fond memories of the people who helped you get there.
