Our Blog

At Tavarez Orthodontics, we embrace technology, whether it’s through the innovative orthodontic treatments Dr. Tavarez offers, or our Facebook fan page. As you can probably tell, we love connecting with our patients online, whether it’s by sharing news on our blog or communicating ideas on our fan page. For social media to work, we understand that conversation is vital, and that’s why we invite you to join in and tell us what’s on your mind. Although social networks are hugely popular these days, we know they’re unpredictable and ever-changing.

While Dr. Tavarez and our dedicated staff take a little time to research how to best use social media, we thought we’d ask you, our loyal patients: How would you like us to use our social networks? What would you like us to share on our blog? Please post your thoughts or give us a call at 650-329-9600!

It may still be a bit chilly out there, but the fact remains: we’re only a month away from spring! Dr. Kathleen Tavarez and our team at Tavarez Orthodontics want to know: What are you doing in February? What have you accomplished so far this year? Are you keeping up with your New Year’s Resolution? Got any exciting spring break plans?

If you have any photos or videos that you would like to share with us, please send them our way or call one of our offices and ask how! Have a great weekend!

Tavarez Orthodontics, located in Menlo Park and San Carlos, and serving surrounding communities, is situated around some pretty special neighborhoods here on the San Francisco Peninsula. Each is unique with its own personality, created by the people and places (and our amazing patients) living within.

Today, Dr. Tavarez and our team thought we'd ask: What are your favorite things about Menlo Park, San Carlos or our great community? Is there a local event you attend every year? Do you have a favorite eatery? Perhaps a favorite northern California getaway? Do you love the unique weather we get year-round?

Please feel free to share some tips about your favorite local hang-outs here in town, and everything you love best about “your neck of the woods.” And, who knows, Dr. Tavarez and team just might post your response on our social networks!

Enjoy your weekend!
