Meet our Co-Owner Orthodontist

Dr. Katie King is a Bay Area native who spent 11 years at the University of Southern California completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience, DDS, and Orthodontic residency. Dr. King was awarded the Harry L. Dougherty award for clinical excellence, which is an award given to the resident who demonstrated the highest achievement in clinical orthodontics. She was also awarded for her research on digitally-facilitated orthodontics, which was published on the cover of the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
