He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists and has additional training in Botulinum Toxin A for facial pain management and esthetics.

What Dr. Coombs loves most about orthodontics is the opportunity to connect with patients and their families while helping transform their smiles. He takes pride in creating personalized treatment plans, making patients feel comfortable and cared for, and celebrating the confidence that comes with a beautiful smile. Outside the office, Dr. Coombs enjoys spending time with Cathie and their six children.
