Aptos Office Tour

Our Aptos office is located in the Aptos Gateway Business Center at 9515 Soquel Drive, Suite 103 [cross street Huntington Drive]. Our office is conveniently located just off the Rio Del Mar exit from Highway 1 and down the street from Aptos Junior High, Rio Del Mar Elementary School, and Valencia Elementary School (for directions to our office, please click here). Our office has been at this location since 1993.


As we are the largest office in the complex, we have plenty of parking for your convenience. Parking is never a problem, even during the after school rush - it helps that many of our patients simply walk down from Aptos Junior High when school gets out. We encourage you to bring your family and friends to your appointments.

Our clinical area has an open design to facilitate communication between the doctors and patients/parents. Parents are always welcome in the clinic area, and are encouraged to ask questions and be involved in their child’s treatment. We treat many adults in our practice and patients of all ages are generally seen in the same clinic area; however, if desired, we do have a private room for adult patients.

Our consultation room is equipped with computers, a sound system, and multiple visual aids and appliances to enhance each patient’s understanding of his or her specific diagnosis and course of orthodontic treatment. The clinic area also has several computers to facilitate patient education and to help communicate progress throughout treatment.


Our waiting room, separate on-deck seating area and computerized sign-in system helps with patient flow. Our patient “GPS” system allows us to track each patient’s status throughout their appointment to ensure timeliness and efficiency. We provide a wide variety of video games, books, and magazines to entertain friends and family members while they wait. They are even eligible to participate in our numerous office contests.


Santa Cruz Office Tour

Our Santa Cruz office is located in the 550 Water Street Medical/Dental Complex, Suite L-2 [cross street Ocean Street]. We are conveniently located off of Ocean Street near the Highway 1 - Highway 17 interchange (please click here for directions). Our office has been located in the complex since 1966 and in our current location since 1978.


We are located in a large medical/dental complex, which allows for plenty of parking for our patients. Because we are located in such a central Santa Cruz location, many parents drop their kids off while they run errands during longer appointments. Our office is also in close proximity to a large number of schools.

Similar to our Aptos office, the clinical area in the Santa Cruz office is open in design to facilitate communication between the doctors and patients and/or parents. Parents are always welcome in the clinic area during their child’s appointment. We treat many adults in our practice and patients of all ages are treated in the same clinic area; however, a private room is available for adults if they prefer.

Our consultation room is equipped with computers, a sound system, and multiple visual aids and appliances to enhance each patient’s understanding of his or her specific diagnosis and course of orthodontic treatment. Each chair in the clinic also has its own computer to facilitate patient education and to help communicate progress throughout treatment.

Our waiting room, separate on-deck seating area and computerized sign-in system helps with patient flow. Our patient “GPS” system allows us to track each patient’s status throughout his or her appointment to maximize timeliness and efficiency.
