Meet Dr. Altherr

"I feel that I am really fortunate to be an orthodontist, and love what I do. I am passionate about my profession and practice in Apex. I am privileged to use my skills to positively affect my patients’ lives.

I enjoy getting to know each patient personally, and their family. I also appreciate seeing the smiles and the results at the end of treatment. I still remember my orthodontist (Dr. Vonnie Smith) when I was younger, and how much fun I had, and how cool he was."

10/10. Best ortho in Apex, hands down. Great customer service. Dr Altherr had to assist us multiple times off hours. So thankful for them.
