Dr. John J. Murray

Dr. John Murray grew up in New England the second of four children of an orthodontist. His father’s ability to see his children off to school, come home for lunch and be back home for dinner left a positive impression of his oldest son.

Young John hung around his father’s office. He liked the social interaction and the role his father played in the community. He also realized three dimensional thinking and attention to detail came easily to him.

But young John wanted to see the world and by the time he worked traveling and solo adventuring out of his system and realized he wanted to pursue orthodontics his father had retired. But Dad encouraged John to study dentistry and orthodontics and said he could practice anywhere in the world. He told John the adventure could continue! And it has beyond John’s greatest dreams.

Dr. Murray received his dental degree from Columbia University School of Dental Medicine in 1991, in New York City. He completed a one year General Practice Residency (GPR) at the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital in the south Bronx, New York, the following year.

Dr. Murray was a Lieutenant in the United States Public Health Service practicing general dentistry when he was accepted in the orthodontic program at Columbia University School of Dental Medicine where he received his Orthodontic Certificate in 1995.

Dr. Murray moved to Anchorage in 1996 and has been practicing orthodontics at one of his two locations ever since.

Dr. Murray is a big believer in continuing education (CE) and being on the leading edge of sound, proven technology. But he has not forgotten that a warm, friendly environment is what leads to a positive experience.

Dr. Stevens is passionate about providing excellent orthodontic treatment. Whenever advanced technology is available to improve the quality of care, Dr. Stevens has been ready to invest in it in order to provide the highest quality orthodontic experience for you and your family.

Dr. Stevens found his ‘calling’ for orthodontics at an early age. Born and raised in Miami, Dr. Stevens was inspired by his own orthodontist and worked for him in high school. He completed his pre-dental studies at the University of Florida in two years, spent his third year of college in Europe as an exchange student, and then entered dental school at the University of Florida. Graduating at the top of his class (with high honors), he then attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for his orthodontic education where he received his Masters of Science in Dentistry and Certificate in Orthodontics.

Realizing that Florida was his home, he returned to allow Dr. Irving Fleet, Tallahassee’s first orthodontist, the opportunity to retire in 1986.

Dr. Stevens has been blessed to be married to Valorie since 1986. They have three extraordinary children, Austin, Cody and Emily.

Dr. Stevens grew up around the water and won many water skiing championships in the 70’s. Since then he has been involved in his church and a leader in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. He is a former martial artist (3rd degree black belt in TaeKwonDo) and is fond of aviation (private pilot), scuba diving, snow skiing and snowboarding. His hobbies include reading and computers, and he takes pride in maintaining the computer system in the office.

Dr. Stevens has been very involved in organized dentistry, being President of the Leon County Dental Association, the Northwest District (of Florida) Dental Association and he also served as President of the Florida Association of Orthodontists. Since 1995, Dr. Stevens has been involved in the graduate orthodontic program at the University of Florida as a Clinical Assistant Professor. While primarily involved in the clinical training of future orthodontists, he also has lectured to the residents in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program at the University of Florida and Shands – Jacksonville.

In 1996, Dr. Stevens became the first orthodontist in Tallahassee history to become certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontists. Board certification is optional in orthodontics, and only about 1 in 4 orthodontists successfully complete the rigorous certification process.

As an orthodontist, Dr. Stevens considers himself fortunate to work with the many outstanding dentists and dental specialists in Tallahassee, as well as his highly experienced and talented team. He strives to think of each patient as a member of his family, and carefully considers what would be the best treatment for each individual.

Dr. Robert Fry
Dr. Bob Fry, founder of Fry Orthodontics, graduated from the University of Missouri at Kansas City School of Dentistry in the top 1% of his class, receiving his MS (Master of Science) degree in Orthodontics from the University of North Carolina.

Dr. Fry remains active in the research and development of advanced technologies and is an international lecturer on advanced orthodontic techniques.

In 1977, Dr. Fry began private practice in the Kansas City area. Three years in a row, Fry Orthodontics was awarded the highest ranking by the Kansas Award for Excellence. Fry Orthodontics is the only orthodontic office to ever receive or be considered for this honor. Qualifying for this award allows Fry Orthodontics to compete for the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige Award.

Orthodontics is a fantastic career that allows you to positively touch the lives of so many people by helping them achieve the smile they’ve always wanted! I love that for over 30 years we have created a warm and inviting atmosphere where patients feel at home while receiving the highest quality orthodontic care. —Dr. Robert Fry

Dr. Fry has invented many orthodontic appliances and techniques and lectures both nationally and internationally on orthodontic treatment procedures and practice management. All honoraria from these efforts are donated to charity.

He resides in Olathe with Mary, his wife of 38 years. Their son, Jeremy, joined Fry Orthodontics in the spring of 2006. Their daughter, Whitney, has a Masters degree in International Public Health lives in Amman, Jordan where she does relief work.

YMCA Volunteer
In April of 1991, Dr. Fry brought together 12 community members in his living room to explore building a youth center in the Olathe Community. This dream resulted in the Olathe Family YMCA. Dr. Fry was so passionate for this cause that he encouraged his patients to help out: His challenge to them was to raise at least $3,000 dollars for the Olathe Family YMCA, and in turn the patients could shave his head completely!

That day came on Thursday, April 4, when Dr. Fry was handcuffed, put into a police car and escorted by city police to the barber. His charge? The $5,207 piled high in a fishbowl was enough proof that it was Dr. Fry’s time to fulfill his end of the bargain. The inevitable electric razor sheered off locks of his rainbow dyed hair as giggling patients and children in the community who had raised the money looked on.

Dr. Fry was selected as the Greater Kansas City YMCA Volunteer of the Year and has served as Chairman of the Greater Kansas City YMCA.

Game Show Contestant

“Bob Fry, come on down!” Little did Dr. Fry know when he made plans to attend a team-building seminar with his staff in Los Angeles that he would return home a Showcase Showdown winner on the “Price is Right.” The staff urged him to go along with them to be audience members, even though he said that he’d rather just go back to the hotel and sleep. When he heard his name called near the end of the show, Dr. Fry thought it was all a bad dream, and that he was certain to make a fool of himself on stage. In fact, Dr. Fry walked away in shock with $22,000 in prizes!

After discussing the winnings with his family and staff, Dr. Fry decided to give back to the community by donating winnings to five local charities: the Olathe YMCA, Heart to Heart International Inc., Olathe Region United Way, Olathe Public Schools Foundation, and Living Hope Church of the Nazarene. Dr. Fry is pleased that his entire staff is devoted to community service and to improving the quality of life for others.

Dr. Robert G. Wertz
Hello, and welcome to our family practice! I love my profession as an orthodontist because I am able to grow my patients into the smile that they have always wanted. From start to finish I am up for the challenge of making them happy with their orthodontic result.

Before I became an orthodontist, I was a lieutenant in the Navy Dental Corps for two years prior to going to orthodontic school. I spent one year at the Orlando Naval Hospital and my second year with the first Marine air wing in Iwakuni, Japan. I then completed my BS from Muhlenburg College before attaining my DDS from Temple University. I received my Orthodontic Certificate from Temple University as well.

For over 30 years, I have made continuing education a high priority so that I can provide state-of-the-art orthodontics to my patients and be current on all new procedures that will benefit my patients. I know that I can only provide the highest quality services if I know of the latest techniques and methods. That is why I consider my continuing education an essential part of providing exceptional care to our families.

My profession allows me to meet interesting adults and great kids and families. I am blessed to be able to help them achieve beautiful smiles that will be part of them for the rest of their life. Each person has their own story and over the time of treatment I am privileged to learn more about who my patients are. I love to hear where they are going on vacation, about new jobs and babies - all the things that comprise individual and family life. I like to get to know them and work together on their treatment.

My wife, MaryAnn, and I have been married for 30 years! We have four sons. My oldest one, Rob, is in practice with me. My other sons are Ben, Gabe and Peter. My wife and I also have a Newfoundland named Utley, a Golden Retriever named Molly, and three cats: Sasha, Angelo and Rose. In my spare time I love to build and fly radio control airplanes. I also enjoy hunting, fishing, and working on my farm in Schaefferstown. I am a big Hershey Bears and Philadelphia Phillies fan!

Orthodontics is a fantastic opportunity to combine my love for working with my hands and appreciation of the people who chose to come to me for their braces. I consider it an honor to serve the families of our community. They have entrusted me with something very important to them: their smile! I work hard to give each patient a perfect result. I love the challenge of each new and unique patient.

Dr. Robert G.Wertz Jr
Welcome to our practice! I have wanted to be an orthodontist since I was six years old, and am honored to be serving families in my home town. I love orthodontics because it allows me to closely interact with patients and accommodate their individual orthodontic needs. It also allows me to work together with my patients to improve the appearance of their smile and improve their overall self-esteem. It's incredibly rewarding!

For my formal education, I attained the following certificates:

  • BS, Mount St. Mary's University
  • MS, Oral Biology Temple University
  • DMD, Temple University
  • Orthodontic Certificate Temple University

Although my formal education is complete, I continuously attend various courses and seminars in continuing orthodontic education. This allows me to provide my patients with the newest and most innovative orthodontic treatment available. I also participate in courses that provide information about the newest orthodontic technology so it can be used in our office.

Each patient is unique with different orthodontic needs. Caring for each individual's needs makes my job challenging and engaging. I enjoy customizing treatment to fit the individual need of each patient while making a personal connection with them at the same time! Our office provides a comfortable atmosphere for our patients. We encourage patient participation not only in their orthodontic treatment but in various office contests as well. We even have a video game in our deck area! We strive to make orthodontic treatment a fun and enjoyable experience for our patients.

On Saturday, December 4 my wonderful fiance, Lindsay, and I were married. We have a Shih-Chon puppy named Maisie! I also enjoy watching and going to sporting events! I like the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles and Flyers. I am also a Hershey Bears fan. I love spending time with my family and am excited about starting a family of my own.

Washington

Dr. Christian P. Manley

It has been my honor and privilege to practice Orthodontics in the Issaquah/Sammamish area since 1991. I remember the year clearly, not only because I was fresh out of school, but also because my first child was born in April of that same year. During this time, I have been blessed to work with many amazing patients and families. I believe the people and the Dentists I have worked with in this area are the best in the world!

What I love about Orthodontics is witnessing the positive impact it has on my patients’ lives. There are many lifelong benefits. It is very fulfilling to know that I am creating smiles for my patients that they will use, not only at the most important events in their lives, but also every single day. They become much more confident in their socializing and interaction with those around them. It has been my joy to watch smiles develop that are not only healthier, but also more beautiful.

Education
I attended Walla Walla College for my pre-dental education. I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree, Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, and Masters Degree in Orthodontics at Loma Linda University, in Loma Linda, California.

Continuing Education
The field of Orthodontics continues to change and evolve with exciting technology which can mean reduced treatment time with fewer visits, better results, and more comfort to our patients. I look forward to continuing education meetings with my team. These meetings, which we attend at least once a year, teach us how to treat our patients better and more efficiently. It is my commitment to my patients to provide them the best possible treatment for the most beautiful smiles and faces. I am blessed to have experienced, professional and friendly team members to help me accomplish this.

As part of my continuing education, I am an active member in the following organizations:

American Association of Orthodontics
Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontics
Northwest Orthodontic Study Club
Puget Sound Orthodontic Study Club
American Dental Association
Washington Dental Association

Family Life
I grew up on Orcas Island, Washington. I enjoyed the time I spent in Southern California during my schooling; however, it was always myintent to move back to the Pacific Northwest to raise my family and to enjoy life!
My wife Brenda and I have been married since 1987 and we have loved raising our daughter’s Ellie and Brooke and our son Christian. In addition to family time, I also enjoy cycling, golfing, skiing, traveling and reading.
