Dr. Steiman, smiling and sitting on exam chair.

I have always loved working with my hands and building things. Now I am able to build beautiful smiles for my patients! I love working in a fun, friendly and relaxed dental environment and this is exactly how my office runs every day.

I have worked with children since my early teen years and enjoy developing relationships with people. I genuinely care about my patients. In fact, each patient is treated as if he or she were my own child, sibling or parent. For me, Orthodontics is fun and I’m proud to say that I truly love what I do.” – Dr. Howard Steiman
