Danielle comes from a family skilled in orthodontic care. At a young age, Danielle assisted her mom after school, taking records and impressions for her patients. Years later Danielle followed her love for orthodontics by joining our Wellington Orthodontics team. She went on to earn her certification in 2015 and has been creating and providing smiles of her own ever since. Her charismatic personality will make you smile the moment you meet her.
Danielle resides in Indiantown, a far cry from the climate she was used to in chilly Alaska; where she watched the Iditarod mushers at a local frozen lake and gazed at the Northern Lights from her backyard. Florida’s sunny weather and beautiful beaches have a way of growing on people. Danielle and her husband have adjusted well here and spend many of their weekends enjoying the natural Florida landscape by foot or boat with their son.
Danielle says, “I love being a part of this amazing team! It’s rare to find an office that works so seamlessly together to create not only a great office atmosphere but also an amazing patient experience.”
