“As an orthodontist, I have the best job I can imagine. I get to work with absolutely amazing colleagues and patients, all of whom have such diverse personalities, passions, and perspectives from which to learn. And while I learn from them, I get to watch their smiles transform.
I get to make a difference in my patients’ lives by being a positive force in their lives. Giving my patients a better smile to share is what makes me celebrate daily.” – Dr. Ludwig
