Meet Dr. John Shefferman

As an orthodontist, my goal is to provide my patients with exceptional orthodontic treatment in the most caring, innovative, and comfortable environment possible. One thing that really sets us apart from other practices is that I spend a lot of one-on-one time with my patients. I enjoy developing relationships with them and learning about their varied backgrounds.

    It’s been a great place for our son. The staff are all great, friendly and professional. Very family friendly! Even the waiting room has great and interesting stuff to peruse–but never have to wait long enough to get to most of it! Excellent place!
