Meet Our Orthodontist

Dr. Kathleen Tavarez, who has been specializing in orthodontics since 1992, considers it her personal obligation to provide the highest quality orthodontic care to her patients. She began her higher education by studying at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she graduated with a Bachelor’s in Science. She went on to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Finally, Dr. Tavarez graduated the University of Detroit Mercy, where she earned her Specialty Degree and Masters in Orthodontics.

Memberships in organizations allow Dr. Tavarez to stay on the cutting edge of clinical and technological orthodontic advances, which is why in 2007 Dr. Tavarez was named an Invisalign Elite Premier Provider, representing the top 1% of North American practitioners. Dr. Tavarez and her husband, Ray, have two children, Kaitlin and RJ. When not in the office, she enjoys spending quality time with her family.
