About Us

If you’re looking for quality orthodontics that will make you smile in south Florida, you’ll find it at our Boca Raton, FL and Coral Springs, FL orthodontist offices! Unlike a general dentist who might offer an orthodontic service or two, we specialize in straightening teeth and correcting misaligned jaw structure with the latest technology like digital imaging and suresmile®. Your experience will be comfortable, effective, and efficient. You can visit us at two convenient locations, and initial consultations are complimentary.

Meet Our Doctor

Being able to provide cutting edge orthodontic care to the community in which I grew up is amazing to me. I will always strive to provide the highest level of care to my patients, and strongly value the fact that orthodontics is a relationship based profession. Our patients should feel at home and comfortable, and we work very hard to provide them with a superior treatment experience.

I was born and raised right here in Hollywood, Florida along with my brother, Adam. I have always loved South Florida, and while it was great to get away for a bit during college, I always knew I’d be back. Meeting Dr.W, and now becoming a partner in this practice is a dream come true, and my wife and I are so happy to be able to live and work in the community we grew up in!

I have been working with Dr.W since 1990, and I love helping Dr. W and Dr. R “create” beautiful smiles! Building lasting relationships with the patients is one of my favorite aspects of the job as well as working with a super special team!

In my personal time, I enjoy my family, especially my grandchildren and our pets. We all enjoy watching various sports, especially football! I play fantasy football with my kids and their friends and have a blast! I also enjoy reading, church activities and a good movie!

Sandra – Orthodontic Assistant

I practiced general dentistry in Venezuela before moving to Florida. I always had an interest in orthodontics, which led me to Dr.W and Dr.R. I learn something new every day working with them! Orthodontics helps bring joy to people with a new smile that can be proud of. For some, it opens a new world, which gives me joy as an assistant.

As a wife and mother of 2, my weekends are filled with outdoor activities and family events.

While working with Dr. W & Dr. R, I have learned many new techniques, and the doctors are always pushing me to become a better professional every day.

Outside the practice I am a devoted wife and mother to three kids. I am passionate about “track and field”, offering my time on the field as a coach! I love to travel and meet new people, see new places, and see what other countries have to offer. I believe in Love which allows us the opportunity to open absolutely every door for a good life.
