“I’m passionate about helping people achieve their smile goals because I truly believe in the power of a smile to change lives.”

Dr. Gardner graduated from dental school and completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Southern California, where he was involved in several community and international outreach programs.
He is among the best in his field as only one in three orthodontists successfully achieve the level of being a board-certified orthodontist from the American Board of Orthodontics.
Dr. Gardner discovered his love for serving others while serving a two-year mission for his church where he also learned to speak fluent Spanish.
He loves spending time with his wife and children. Surfing, baseball and soccer are all activities he enjoys with his kids. He also likes exploring new types of cuisine to cook, while also creatively making his own versions of classic dishes.
“I love building relationships with my patents and giving them the gift of a confident smile. Being part of their journey is truly the best part!”

Dr. Sullivan earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition from The Ohio State University, then completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. She went on to earn her Master of Science in Dentistry during her orthodontic residency at Case Western Reserve University.
Dr. Sullivan is dedicated to staying at the forefront of orthodontic care by pursuing continuing education and the latest advances in treatment. She is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Great Lakes Orthodontic Association, and the Cleveland Society of Orthodontics.
Inspired by her own orthodontist who changed her life and smile, Dr. Sullivan decided at age 13 to become an orthodontist herself. She focuses on building strong relationships with her patients and is committed to making every visit comfortable and positive.
Outside the office, Dr. Sullivan enjoys Pilates, walking the beach, cooking healthy meals, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. She’s a lifelong dog lover, a fan of Mediterranean food and ice cream, and loves being a Swiftie.
We had a great experience with Dr Gardner. He took his time with all 3 boys who needed braces. He fully explained our different options available to accommodate their individual needs. X-rays and consultations all completed for my 3 boys in one visit! The staff and assistants were very friendly, I highly recommend Surf and Smiles.
