Your Lexington Orthodontist
Meet Dr. Chad Sears
Dr. Chad Sears has been an orthodontist since 2006 and was Dr. Carolyn's dental school classmate. Dr. Chad and Dr. Carolyn have a long history; they became fast friends during a dental school orientation in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Although they discovered that they do not like "roughing it" in the wilderness, they did begin a beautiful friendship.
Since that fateful trip, Dr. Chad and Dr. Carolyn have remained close and provided each other with the moral support that only best friends can offer through all of life's adventures.
