What Sets us Apart?
Board-Certified Orthodontist
Dr. Whitney Mostafiz went the extra mile to become a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. This means that cases that she treated were peer-reviewed and that she had to take a written as well as oral exam about orthdontic diagnosis and treatment. Less than one-third of orthodontists receive this distinction. Being Board-Certified is the highest level of professional achievement and is a testiment to Dr. Whitney's dedication to superior treatment outcomes in her orthodontic cases.
Life-Long Passion
Dr. Whitney remembers the first moment she became fixated on teeth when she was five (you'll have to ask her about that!). From a young age, she discovered an interest in dentistry and realized a love for orthodontics when undergoing her own orthodontic treatment. Dr. Whitney realized that orthodontics offers her an opportunity to bridge several things that she loves to do: to make people happy and healthy, to think like an artist and a doctor, and to be constantly innovative like a scientist. For these reasons, Dr. Whitney is sure to offer you exceptional care and hopes that her passion may rub off on you, too!
Fun fact: Dr. Whitney dreamed to be an orthodontist since she was 12!
