Meet Dr. Spurrier
“I love orthodontics because I have the opportunity to improve, not only my patients’ function, but their confidence as well by giving them the smile that will last a lifetime. It’s such an exciting day for us all when our patients get their new braces, but it is even more exciting when the braces are removed and a new, beautiful smile is unveiled to the world.” – Dr. Spurrier
