Kirkpatrick and Lai Orthodontics has been a family practice since 1960 when Dr. Reuben Kirkpatrick started the practice.
In 1986, Dr. Tom Kirkpatrick joined his father, Dr. Barney Kirkpatrick in the practice followed by Dr. Doug Kirkpatrick in 1993. Eight years later, Dr. Joe Lai joined the Kirkpatrick brothers in the practice. In 2024, Dr. Addison Kirkpatrick fulfilled her dream of joining the practice with her father, Dr. Doug. The family tradition grows each and every day with our new patients! We create more than just beautiful smiles, we create memories.
