“I am proud to say that I attended elementary, middle, and high school in Old Tappan, and it is a tremendous privilege to serve the greater community where I grew up. For me, Bergen County and Northern Valley represent the warm feeling of home, safety, and family. This is the feeling I want for everyone walking into Smile Story Orthodontics. That’s why here at SSO, everyone is family, and providing excellent service, communication, and value throughout orthodontic treatment is my way of showing love. I can’t wait to welcome you to our family!”
