Meet Our Doctor
Dr. George Walker
“I became interested in orthodontics when a family friend invited my sister and I to be his patients in his orthodontic specialty training at Northwestern University Dental School in Chicago. My orthodontic care was a transforming experience for me and my self confidence. I was fascinated by all aspects of my treatment, and I decided at age 12 to make orthodontics my career. My enthusiasm for the profession, and what a difference it can make for people, motivated me to do my very best in the 11 years of college that were required.”
“I thoroughly enjoy interacting with patients, and helping them achieve their goal of a great smile, that will be a powerful asset their entire life. I never get tired of their excitement when braces come off, and they see their new smile for the first time.”
