Who We Are
A Tradition started in 1973…For years; both doctors have passionately dedicated their lives to serving their Patients to help each person become all they were meant to be. Their passion is mirrored on the faces of their Patients. Chances are, you know someone who has been or is currently being treated by Dr. Warford or Dr. John.
Expert Orthodontists who care deeply…Both doctors have undergraduate and dental degrees from the University of Minnesota.
Dr. Warford completed his residency in orthodontics at Northwestern University in Chicago, and Dr. John completed his at the University of Missouri, in Kansas City. Both universities are accredited by the American Dental Association for degrees in orthodontics.
Experience matters…Warford Orthodontics was founded in 1973 by Dr. Warford, and in 2003 Dr. John joined him. Warford Orthodontics is proud to provide the most experienced team in the area, and experience matters when trusting something as important as an investment in orthodontics.
