Dr. J. Scott Eckels
Specialist in Orthodontics
“I had orthodontic treatment as a teenager, and I was amazed at how the changes to my smile impacted my self-esteem and my relationships with others. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in orthodontics – it’s rewarding to be able to help children and adults feel better about themselves simply by improving the appearance of their smile.”
