Dr. Herman
Hi! My name is Kelcey and I’ve been part of Dr. Herman’s team for over 16 years now. Let me tell you a little bit about the Dr. Herman I know… I’ve worked for orthodontists in the past and can tell you that there is no place like Dr. Herman’s office or Dr. Herman! The entire staff and I truly love coming to work every day! Dr. Herman has created an environment that's upbeat, friendly, and full of energy! The minute I met Dr. Herman; I knew he lived to create amazing, wide smiles for all of his patients! His passion for orthodontics is contagious (as well as his sense of humor)! You will see it on our team - we are all smiles!
Dr. Herman grew up in Santa Clara, California near San Francisco. He went to San Jose State in California where he wrestled for 4 years. He still loves the sport and coached young wrestlers at local schools for 40 years. Dr. Herman went to dental school at Emory University in Atlanta and then did a 2 year Dental General Practice Residency at Gallup Indian Medical Center. A few years later he was off to a 3 year Orthodontic Residency at the University of North Carolina. When you come to the office you will notice he is a big Carolina Tar Heel fan!
Dr. Herman and his wife Mary fell in love with the Four Corners in the 80s and decided to make it their home. Mary and Dr. Herman have been married for 46 years and have two grown and married sons with two granddaughters! Mary is a big part of what makes the office so great! She makes everyone feel welcome and relaxed! Dr. Herman and Mary are so down to earth and easy to talk to – you will see why so many patients all over the Four Corners choose to make the drive to Dr. Herman’s office! I’m proud to work for Dr. Herman because he goes out of his way to make every patient feel great and proud to show off their smile! I can assure you that you will feel comfortable the minute you walk through our doors! That’s what I love most about working with Dr. Herman – every patient we meet becomes part of our Four Corners family.

Meet Our Team
Patients of the Week
March 2023
Kaidence
"We are so pleased with Kaidence's results! She has such a beautiful smile and we are so excited for her!"
March 2023
Adelle
"I always want my patient’s transformation to be more than “Just straight teeth”. I want and expect a noticeable change in a patient’s face. "
February 2023
Jillian
"Jillian had what is called an “open bite”. Most open bites are caused by a person’s tongue pushing against the upper teeth when sleeping. This is called “tongue thrusting”. It is a bite problem we see in the office about 12-18 times per year. But not to worry, we have the team to get it done right!"
February 2023
Richanda
"Most orthodontists would have treated her by extracting four teeth, but our team didn’t extract any teeth for her treatment plan! I want to remind patients who are in orthodontic treatment that they need to see their orthodontist at every scheduled appointment!"
January 2022
Kyowa
"Kyowa came to me with really crooked teeth and a huge overbite. It was a big challenge for the staff and I to correct his problems without any extractions. He did a fantastic job wearing his rubber bands to assist us in correcting his overbite!"
December 2022
Natalie
"Congratulations on your wide, beautiful smile Natalie!"
December 2022
Ben
"Other orthodontists would have treated Ben by removing four healthy teeth to correct his severe crowding. I was able to treat Ben without extracting any teeth!"
December 2022
Delana
"Delana is just one of the many examples we have on why our Pitts 21 System of Braces actually works! Now her smile is wide and beautiful!"
November 2022

November 2022
Serena
"We are very excited to show Serena’s results. She worked really hard with her rubber band wear to correct her overbite and she did a fabulous job of keeping her gums in perfect health during treatment."
November 2022
Christina
"For years, I have used the constantly improving Pitts 21 System of Braces. I remain very impressed with how great the system works to eliminate extractions for severely crowded-toothed patients. Please get a second opinion from me if you or child’s orthodontic plan includes extractions."
November 2022
Imari
"Imari did great wearing her rubber bands and finished treatment with a wide, beautiful smile and a normal bite. The smile on her face makes her look gorgeous."
October 2022
Abel
"I always want to correct patients with an underbite like the one Abel had at an early age. The sooner I can start correcting an underbite, the better chance I have of keeping a patient from needing major surgery on the jaw at age 17-18 to correct the bite problems. I was very successful in treating Abel to a normal bite. "
October 2022
Zach
"I treated him without extracting any teeth and without using a palatal expander. His result is fantastic and his wide smile compliments his adult face."
October 2022

August 2022
Leslie
"Leslie's results show how changing an adult’s smile can make you look years younger. By widening your smile and creating a smile arc, you too can achieve Leslie’s beautiful smile. "

Molly
"Molly's smile was done by a Brace Lift. A “Brace Lift” is accomplished by improving a person’s smile in 4 areas: 1) Create a wide smile. 2) Lengthen the amount of tooth display on a person’s upper front teeth. 3) Create a “Smile Arc” 4) Improve a patient’s facial appearance.
