Why Choose Us

Our Vision

At Great Neck Orthodontics, we have built our practice around a unique practice vision. While orthodontic practices all over our area have been focusing more on the “business” of orthodontics, instead of the “practice” of orthodontics. Dr. Doug and Dr. Ellis believe the focus of a truly successful practice needs to be on the patient.

Our focus is not only on personalized, state-of-the-art orthodontic care, but also on providing a top-notch patient/family experience. The patient experience depends on us taking the time to get to know our patients and their families, so we can provide appropriate, individualized care. We want our patients to feel like part of our family. This is not an “assembly-line” type practice where you see the assistants more than you see the doctor.

We strive to “be the best” for our patients, because we believe if we are successful at all of the above, our patients will not only refer others to us, but they will be our biggest fans, and will go out of their way to tell their friends and family about our practice!

Great Neck Orthodontics was established with the belief that if we are successful at staying committed to our vision, the “business” of growing our practice will largely take care of itself; and that will allow us to continue to concentrate our time and efforts on our amazing patients and their care!
