Meet Dr. Dietrich

Dr. Andrew Dietrich is devoted to creating beautiful smiles unique to your needs and exceeding your expectations. His goal is to provide an unforgettable experience and an exceptional outcome to each patient in our orthodontic family.

Creating Exciting Smiles

Dr. Dietrich enjoys building relationships with his patients and their families, but the most exciting part of his day is seeing the joy and excitement of his patients when he removes their braces, and they see their new smiles for the first time.

Dr. Dietrich began his professional career in 2009, working side-by-side with his mentor and the founder of our practice, Dr. Keith Hilliard. He truly enjoyed the collaboration of working with such a skilled and accomplished professional and learned a lot during those years.

Dr. Dietrich’s own wonderful orthodontic experience with Dr. Hilliard and our team first sparked his interest in orthodontics as a career.

That collaboration has continued with Dr. Kelso joining the team and maintaining our tradition of outstanding orthodontic care.
