After moving to the United States, Dr. Liz grew up in a small town in Ohio.
She received her undergraduate degree in Biology from John Carroll University and her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Case Western Reserve University School of Dentistry in Cleveland, Ohio. After two years of specialty training she received a certificate in Pediatric Dentistry at the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. An opportunity emerged to study European orthodontics and earn orthodontic specialty certification from the University of Cologne in Germany. An additional two year residency at the University of Florida School of Dentistry resulted in her US recognized orthodontic specialty certification.
In 1991, she opened an office in Jacksonville for the practice of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. In 1997, she restricted the practice to orthodontics only.
Dr. Liz continues to be part of the University of Florida College of Dentistry as a clinical associate professor. She is fluent in English and German and delights her patients with stories of her two "wiener" dogs named Oskar and Meier, the office mascots. She loves to travel and recently took a trip to Europe. Dr. Liz's uncle has been a beekeeper much of his life in Germany and she has taken up the hobby of beekeeping this year. She will keep us informed of her new hobby as time goes on!!
She offers a well trained staff and is committed to the welfare of each patient. Her purpose is to generate great faces with attractive, healthy smiles and make a difference in the lives of her patients.
