Meet Dr. Katie King: Blending Science, Art, and Advocacy\u2014One Smile at a Time<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Katie King, practicing in Novato, Marin County<\/b>, brings a powerful mix of passion, precision, and purpose to the field of orthodontics. A graduate of the University of Southern California (USC)<\/b> orthodontic residency program, Dr. King didn\u2019t originally plan to become an orthodontist\u2014in fact, her path started with a plan to pursue prosthodontics. But two mentors, Dr. Eric Phelps and Dr. Jason Cohen in San Jose, helped her see where her talents and passions could shine brightest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI have an engineering background and have always loved to create,\u201d she explains. \u201cOrthodontics is the perfect fusion of art, science, medicine, and engineering. It\u2019s an incredible way to help people feel more confident through their smiles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. King is also a proud and active member of the California Association of Orthodontists<\/b>, where she brings not just her clinical expertise\u2014but also her voice as part of the next generation of leaders. \u201cBeing a younger member in leadership is important to ensure our perspectives are heard,\u201d she shares. \u201cThe CAO does so much advocacy work behind the scenes, both for our profession and our patients. If we don\u2019t advocate for our profession, who will?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She also values the CAO for the connections it fosters. \u201cThe camaraderie and ability to connect with colleagues throughout California has been invaluable,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside the world of orthodontics, Dr. King is an avid runner\u2014with serious credentials. She\u2019s completed six marathons<\/b>, including two World Majors<\/b>: Boston<\/b> and Berlin<\/b>. \u201cMy goal is to someday complete all the World Marathon Majors,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Driven, creative, and committed to both excellence and advocacy, Dr. Katie King is helping lead orthodontics forward\u2014on the track, in the clinic, and through her work with the CAO. We\u2019re proud to have her on our team.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
