<Braces and Orthodontics - Santa Monica, CA Orthodontist Patrick Turley

Welcome Dr. Paul Austin

Dear Patients, Families, and Friends,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome Doctor Paul Austin as a member of our Santa Monica orthodontic practice. Dr. Austin was raised in Southern California and received his undergraduate degree at UCLA. He attended Harvard University where he received his Dental Degree and also a Masters Degree in Public Health. He returned to UCLA for his specialty training where he was dual trained in both Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. As a Professor in the UCLA School of Dentistry I was able to observe Dr Austin on a daily basis and found him to be an exceptional orthodontist. He built a successful practice in Simi Valley but wanted to be closer to his home in Pacific Palisades. Dr. Austin is also an avid volleyball player and surfer.

I cannot tell you how extremely pleased and honored I am that Dr. Austin has elected to join our practice. Dr. Austin is extraordinarily accomplished in all aspects of orthodontics and is extremely friendly and especially gifted with working with children and adolescents as well. In the spirit of our ongoing commitment to excellence, Dr. Austin and I will work together on diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as clinical care. We feel this will be of great benefit to our patients.

I also want to use this opportunity to convey my sincere appreciation to all of you who continue to refer friends and relatives to our practice. Your referrals are not only warmly welcomed; they are the very source of our “life blood.” Thank you for continuing to refer such nice people to our practice.

My staff and I could not be more pleased to be announcing the addition of Doctor Austin to our very special practice family. If you have not had the opportunity to meet Dr. Austin, I encourage you to introduce yourself during your next visit to our office. I know that you will enjoy getting to know Dr. Austin and share with me the very special pleasure of his friendship.

Sincerely,
Patrick K. Turley D.D. S. M.S.D
