Meet Dr. John Hathaway
I have been in the business of making beautiful smiles since 1985. I still get a thrill and a tremendous amount of satisfaction in finishing treatment, especially a complicated one. The relieved and happy smiles of my patients make my job truly meaningful.
In the Office
I came to an orthodontic practice in 1985 that was established with two of the most competent and caring orthodontists in this area. Dr. Miller was the senior partner and had been practicing since 1955. Dr. John Bradshaw started practicing with Dr. Miller in 1969. When I came to this practice in 1985, I had two mentors that had many years of experience to guide me. The opportunity to learn from these two orthodontists was as valuable if not more valuable than my formal education.
Dr. Miller retired in 1993 and in 2002 Dr. Daniel Bradshaw began practicing with his father and me. Danny was an outstanding addition to this orthodontic office. I have been fortunate to be surrounded by caring people that are also quality orthodontists.
The philosophy in this office has always been to deliver the most outstanding treatment that the situation would allow and to deliver treatment in a compassionate and caring atmosphere. Although no group can be perfect, we encourage all of our team to treat every patient professionally and with kindness.
