The Oyster Pointer has a long history of showcasing the outstanding members of our community. With a tradition of excellence and a desire to connect our community with our businesses, the Oyster Pointer is proud to showcase the dedicated work of Parks Orthodontics.
From Family Roots to a Flourishing Practice
The article in the Oyster Pointer paints a vivid picture of Parks Orthodontics’ journey, highlighting how it evolved from a modest venture with just three employees to a thriving practice with multiple locations under the leadership of Dr. Bill’s daughters, Allison and Dr. Meredith Parks. It narrates the integral role played by the Parks family in nurturing the practice, from humble beginnings to its current stature. Read an excerpt from the article below:
“Though Dr. Bill passed away in May 2015, his memory lives on in the spirit of Parks Orthodontics, which remains grounded in philanthropy, a love of animals and a passion for patient education and care.
An emphasis on new and advanced orthodontic techniques and technology remains a core pillar of the practice and is something that Dr. Bill championed. He recognized the growing importance of digital technology in orthodontics, which helped the practice be an early adopter of innovations such as clear aligners, digital X-rays and a digital intraoral scanner, which replaced the need for goopy impressions with 3D digital scans.
Today, patients are greeted by Mango, the practice’s colorful parrot and mascot. It was Dr. Bill who first made sure the office always had a pet, including hamsters, guinea pigs and the original mascot, a tropical bird named Sunny.”
Continuing the Tradition of Excellence
As the article beautifully captures, Parks Orthodontics is not just a place for orthodontic treatment, but a community built on values of compassion, innovation and patient-centered care. Through its unwavering commitment to excellence and Dr. Bill’s enduring legacy, Parks Orthodontics continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of its patients and the community at large.
Here is another short excerpt from the story:
Dr. Meredith and her team offer comprehensive orthodontic services including clear aligners, braces, early orthodontic treatment, retention and more. Still and foremost is the practice’s dedication to its patients. In addition to providing high-quality and personalized care, patients have access to a free library and book club, are presented with remote treatment options for paramount convenience and can participate in a rewards hub with prizes.
“We aim to stay true to the vision our dad created while continuing to grow and innovate,” says Allison Parks.
