Dr. Nathan is from a small town in Alberta, Canada, where it snows almost half of the year, and the remaining months are taken over by mosquitoes.
But he would never trade in the gift of growing up with lifelong friends in a close community of genuine, good people…
From childhood, Dr. Nathan was a gifted scholar, a talented athlete, and a strong leader. He was MVP and captain of the Men’s Basketball Team at the University of Alberta and Grant MacEwan College and was named Two-time Academic All-Canadian, one of the highest awards a university athlete can receive.
After graduating with honors, he attended the University of Southern California School of Dentistry, where he met his wife, Christine. There, he continued to achieve academic success and scored in the top four percent in the nation on the Dental Board Exam, making him a top candidate for Orthodontic Speciality.
While at USC, Dr. Nathan served in third-world countries like Honduras, where he and his dental team provided dental care to underprivileged communities. He also co-founded the Student Professionalism and Ethics Club at USC, where students are provided a platform to discuss ways to improve the ethics and professionalism in Dentistry.
… his joy and enthusiasm are contagious to his team and patients alike…
Dr. Nathan graduated from USC Dental School with honors and was presented the Outstanding Orthodontic Achievement Award and the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Award for outstanding academic achievement. He then married Christine, the love of his life.
Dr. Nathan then continued at USC to pursue his dream of becoming an Orthodontic Specialist. There, he also obtained his Master in Science by researching the latest Orthodontic innovations. Dr. Nathan was chosen by his Orthodontic program to represent USC Orthodontics and travel to Japan and Brazil to connect with and share ideas with his international peers.
After finishing his Orthodontic studies, Dr. Nathan continued rigorous training to become a Diplomate of Orthodontics, an honor obtained by only a few select Orthodontists in the country. His tenacious work ethic allows him to deliver amazing results for his patients, and his joy and enthusiasm are contagious to his team and patients alike.
During his free time, Dr. Nathan enjoys learning and discovering new interests, having great conversations over a delicious meal, and never missing an opportunity to visit his dear family and hometown friends in Canada.
