Dr. Sheila Soroushian

Owner, Board Certified Orthodontist

Hi, I'm Dr. Sheila Soroushian, and I'm so glad you're here. My path to becoming an orthodontist started with my own smile. Originally from Orange County, California.

Amanda

Office Manager

Amanda is our office manager and expert on insurance issues, billing, scheduling and in general keeping the practice humming. She is from Connecticut originally but her father moved to Ft Carson and she graduated from Mitchell High School. After a stint in the US Navy as a firefighter she started her career in general dentistry with Dr. Jim Nelson. Due to her great people skills and grasp of practice administration, she rose rapidly to the office manager position. Eventually she joined the dental corporate world for 5 years and managed specialty services all over Colorado. Starting a family brought her back to the friendly environs of private practice and we benefit greatly from her wide-ranging experience. She enhances her leadership expertise as a member of the Colorado Springs Dental Practice Management Group and taking Fred Pryor seminars. Amanda and Luke are the beaming parents of Spencer.

Orthodontic Assistant

Hi, I’m Danii, and I am one of the orthodontic assistants of this amazing team. I was born and raised in California. I moved to Colorado in 2019 with my beautiful daughter. I received my dental assistant certification from PIMA in 2022. I’ve always had a passion for dental health and dentistry ever since I was young, visiting my godmother’s family owned dental office. I strive to make sure each patient is put at ease and comfortable throughout their treatment. Nothing is better than knowing that I’m helping our patients have better confidence in their smile.
