Meet Dr. Ames
I am married to my high-school sweetheart Laura. We have three young children, two boys and a girl. We moved to the Moorhead area to join Dr. Harvey and his team in January 2011. I grew up in a small town just outside of Lincoln, Nebraska and attended college at Nebraska Wesleyan University. I studied dentistry at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry and received my orthodontic training and Masters Degree at The Ohio State University Medical Center College of Dentistry. Prior to joining the team, I practiced in Nebraska and taught orthodontics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry.
We recognize that each patient is unique and deserves to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented staff is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience each time you visit our practice.
I am proud to be part of such a talented and caring team of professionals and enjoy providing the care that our patients deserve. Welcome to our practice!
