Dr. Mark purchased his practice in 2017, rebranding the office as Clauss Orthodontics.
He felt like it was a perfect opportunity to continue treating the patients and families he'd come to know over the years.
It’s All About You
When asked who his favorite patients are to treat, Dr. Mark says, "All of them".
Why? Because each patient goes through a physical transformation.
“You can see the change in their personality,” he says, “they become much happier people.”
