Robin Subar “One factor many business owners may not appreciate is that the use of original images on their website can boost SEO,” says Robin Subar, who photographed TCA voter award winner Dr. Josh Gilbert for this month’s Office Visit feature. “Consider starting with a professional headshot, an environmental shot of the doctor in his or her space, headshots of staff and, if budget permits, some lifestyle shots. Select a photographer who has specific experience in shooting for website/branding and can show a body of work that conveys the personality you’re hoping to present.” Website: robinsubar.com


 Kevin Baharvand In addition to running a three-location orthodontic practice in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Dr. Kevin Baharvand (“Satellite Offices: Insight From the Inside”) and his wife, fellow orthodontist Dr. Julia Kang, are the founders of White Glove Orthodontist, which offers start-up support for orthodontists looking to open their own practices. “Our clients often struggle with taking the initial step, uncertain about when and how to begin,” Baharvand says. “I understand their hesitation; changing the status quo, especially when already earning a good income as an associate, is never easy."


Daniel J. Grob Part of the reason Dr. Daniel J. Grob stepped away from his position as editorial director of Orthotown three years ago was so he could develop systems, research and documentation related to early orthodontic care—the topic of his CE course in this issue. “This topic is misunderstood by clinicians, parents and patients, as well as the medical community,” says Grob, who runs an orthodontic/pediatric dentistry partner practice in the Phoenix metro area. “I’m working to develop research that will be able to address some of the concerns raised by doubters regarding benefits, as well as topics such as sleep, airway and soft-tissue ties.”
