MEET DR. FERGUSON

Dr. Melissa Ferguson

I’m passionate about helping my patients achieve confident smiles. I value the opportunity to build meaningful, long-term relationships with my patients over the course of their treatment and watching their confidence transform alongside their smile. What drew me to orthodontics is the unique blend of science, artistry, and continuous innovation—it’s a field that’s always evolving. That’s why I stay up to date with the latest advancements, so I can offer each patient the most effective and personalized treatment options available.
