Meet Dr. Matthew Coats

I could not ask for a more rewarding career. Being an orthodontist allows me to create healthy, beautiful smiles and improve the self-esteem of so many people!

I am fortunate, as my profession brings me into contact with so many remarkable individuals. We build long-term relationships that go beyond provider and patient: we become friends and I appreciate the uniqueness of each person in my care. Their conversations broaden my world and their smiles warm my life.

I have been practicing general dentistry or orthodontics for more than 30 years. I have a brother who’s a dentist, a brother who’s a physician, and a brother who was a chiropractor; my mother was an occupational therapist; my uncle was a surgeon, too. You could say medicine and helping others runs in my family!

My career comes down to three key things:

Great patients!

Great parents!

Great smiles!

I truly cannot imagine a more amazing way to spend my days.  Dr. Matthew J. Coats
