“I love being an orthodontist! I feel so fortunate to get to be a part of your and your child’s life through the journey with orthodontics and obtaining a healthy and beautiful smile for life! The results and transformation of people’s smiles is the most rewarding part, but the process is just as interesting. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, and the friendships that I’ve built with my patients and their families are one in a million. I get to know my patients and families during the course of treatment so well, they become part of our family.
“As a mother of two teenage children, I feel that my experiences with my children help me understand and work better with my teenage patients. It has always been my focus to make each patient feel at-home when they come to me for treatment and I work very hard to give my patients the attention they deserve.” — Dr. Majd
