meet the doctor.

As a kid, I had orthodontic treatment to close a space between my front teeth. Later, in high school, I had an assignment to interview someone and I chose the orthodontist who had helped me. During that process, I learned more about what he did for his patients, and I saw that he really enjoyed his job, which I guess ‘planted a seed.’ Decades later, I am glad I chose to become an orthodontist. Few things are more gratifying than seeing the look on someone’s face when their braces come off. It’s a thrill, and it’s why I commit myself to excellence and pursue what’s in my patients’ best interests.

Dr. Margolis and his wife Maureen met amid the romance of dental school (she is a childrenʼs dentist). They have two adult children, both dedicated to making the world a better place. Allison is a clinical social worker at a psychiatric hospital. Carly, currently a student at Harvard Law School, will be bringing justice to those who need it most. Dr. Margolis enjoys his hobbies outside the office almost as much as his work making beautiful smiles. He is an avid kitesurfer, mountain biker, gardener, cook, music lover, snowboarder and traveler.
