“I love being able to create a smile that fits an individual person's face. It's like a puzzle to me. When we're working with a patient, everybody's unique, so I really love getting the chance to do something new every time with a patient.”
Jonathan Shouhed, DDS

“Dr. J” as he is known to patients, has always had a passion for youth and has volunteered as a basketball coach as well as a tutor. He decided to focus on orthodontics because he loves enabling kids and teens to feel empowered. He believes a smile is the way we connect to each other as human beings.
