Meet Dr. Farina
Your smile is my business. It’s what I do every day and why I chose to become an orthodontist more than 20 years ago. It’s why I love what I do. To date, I’ve treated more than 10,000 smiles, from children as young as six to adults as wise as 82, and many teens in between. Whether I am caring for a patient in the office or donating my time to a child in the community, it’s the same feeling. There’s no greater joy for me than to see a happy, healthy smile I helped come true.
