Dr. Patrick Chen has been in Plano, Texas since 2002, when he and his wife Anna moved from the San Francisco Bay Area where Dr. Chen first began practicing orthodontics. He grew up in Houston, Texas, and graduated from Memorial Senior High School. He then obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. Wishing to be closer to his family, Dr. Chen came back to Texas to earn his doctorate from the Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas. Dr. Chen then returned to the West Coast to attend his orthodontic residency at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon.
Dr. Chen regularly attends national and regional meetings, continuing education courses and seminars to learn the latest philosophies and techniques. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontists and is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, Southwestern Society of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, and Fourth District Dental Society.
Diaper changes, first steps, Little League, learning to drive, cheerleading and prom. Time waits for no one and before we realize it, our children are all grown, out of the house and having kids of their own. But before all this happens, we do all we can to provide them with the advantages we did not have, helping them to go far in life.
It is with these same desires for our children that my wife and I decided to move to the Dallas area. We feel that we are eager to contribute to the community with my orthodontic practice. My staff and I are here to help.
Today, getting braces is a rite of passage for most children. We realize that straighter teeth means improved oral health, a prettier smile, more self-confidence and better social acceptance. I myself greatly benefited from braces years ago. In fact, my experience was so positive that I became an orthodontist to help others. One cannot put a price on a child’s smile.
Our office philosophy is: Excellence, Honesty, Compassion, and Value for our patients. We treat you with the same quality, attention and consideration that we would have for our own families. Our office design and equipment reflects the same philosophy. Patients should expect this much from their doctor.
I realize that some people may be intimidated about seeing an orthodontist, but don’t worry, we’ll take good care of you! We are here to help you achieve a healthier and better smile. We look forward to meeting you, our neighbors, at your orthodontic exam and consultation.
We’ll treat you like family!
Thank you and your staff for your professionalism, expertise, and patience concerning my orthodontic treatment. As a more mature patient with a challenging orthodontic case that included an overbite as well as additional alignment problems, I was always hesitant to seek treatment. I did not want to receive treatment from an orthodontic mill that offered impersonal run-of-the-mill treatments along with hundreds of other patients. After careful investigation, you and your office was just what I was looking for, a highly qualified Baylor grad with a personal touch office and staff.
Having just gotten my braces off, I have received many compliments to my new smile. It is amazing, you turned a very difficult smile into one to be proud of. Thank You, Dr. Chen!
