I am an orthodontist who places importance on community, and I have a history of giving my time, energy, and resources to organizations that extend beyond orthodontic care. I am a Partner in Excellence to elementary schools and sponsor students who attend the National Hispanic Institute. I am a member of the McAllen Chamber of Commerce and have served as a board member for several local organizations. I also participate in Dentists Who Care and was recently recognized as a Top Contributor to the organization. All of this comes naturally to me because I’m not just your orthodontist; I’m your friend and neighbor, too.
