“Life is all about enjoying the wonderful moments it has to offer, and smiling is a crucial part of enjoying those moments. Being able to give people beautiful smiles that make them feel confident is the most rewarding part of my job.”
For Dr. Farina, the greatest part about practicing orthodontics is building relationships with all of our patients and their families. Every new beautiful smile we design is an opportunity to impact and change someone’s life. Our patients bring us so much joy, and seeing that final beautiful smile is an incredible source of energy and inspiration.
