Meet Dr. Dickens
 Dr. Dickens first got a passion for orthodontics in 1996 while working
as a researcher for the UNC Orthodontic Department. "While at UNC, I had great experiences to see firsthand how life changing it can be to help someone smile. I feel very lucky to be in a profession that helps kids and adults feel better about themselves. I especially love seeing people who have just gotten their braces off smile in the mirror and take pride in how good they look."  Dr. Dickens earned his DDS degree and MS in Orthodontics from the University
of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. Dr. Dickens also graduated with
distinction and received several awards. All of these achievements
came while rabidly cheering for his beloved Tar Heels!Dr. Dickens lives here in Matthews with his wife, Liz, and their two pets. They enjoy exercising along the Charlotte greenways, traveling, cheering on the Tar Heels, and try to spend time with their families who include 11 nieces and nephews. Dr. Dickens and his wife have competed in many races including the successful completion of the NYC Marathon. Memberships |
