Dr. Brown
Dr. Brown was born into a family of orthodontists and raised in Birmingham, Michigan. He completed his undergraduate career at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and made stops in Massachusetts and Florida learning dentistry and orthodontics before settling in Washington. As the son of an orthodontist, watching his father and the joy his work brought to the lives of his patients left a lasting mark, and Dr. Brown is excited to continue that legacy. Dr. Brown has 3 simple rules: be efficient in his treatment, open in his communication and compassionate in his care.
Dr. Brown is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, and an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, and Washington State Society of Orthodontists. Additionally, during his education, Dr. Brown was awarded the prestigious Dr. Alfred Osher Scholarship, which is given to students who exhibit the highest degree of personal and work ethics. In his years of practice, Dr. Brown maintains his commitment to continuing education; constantly taking courses to understand and implement new technologies and procedures that can be applied to better serve you.
He and his wife, Jen (the dentist next door!), are thrilled to call Washington home. While they have no children yet, they have a Siberian cat and a golden retriever that keep them on their toes. In his spare time, Dr. Brown loves to play tennis, basketball, fly fish, and cook.

Front Office Coordinator
I am one of the first people a patient meets when they walk in the front door, and it is my goal to make everyone feel welcome and excited for their visit with us. Our doctors have a tremendous amount of knowledge about orthodontics and have really created a talented, caring team that I am proud to be a part of.
When I am not in the office, I love to spend time with my family and husband. I love reading and watching movies to unwind.

Factoria Orthodontics gave me my first introduction to orthodontics and it could not have been better. I have been assisting for two years and love every second. I love to connect with our adults and children. This is the best experience I have ever had and I love all our patients who choose to be a part of it! In my spare time, I love to be with my husband, kids and huge family who all live locally!

I've been an Orthodontic Assistant since 2003, and I absolutely love what I do. The best part of my job is the relationships I have been able to build with patients while they are in treatment. I love the idea of helping people gain confidence in their smile.
