Meet Dr. Deborah Ferrer Orthodontist, D.M.D, M.S, P.A

Hello, and welcome to my practice! I enjoy orthodontics because I get to make a difference in people’s lives by giving them beautiful, confident smiles. I love watching a shy, timid child who doesn’t want to smile transform into an outgoing, confident young person! I also really love working with adults because we develop a relationship over the years, and I get to learn about their lives and families. It gives me great satisfaction to see the powerful effects of orthodontics on all of my patients!
I specialize in treating both children and adult patients, and I offer a variety of orthodontic options, including Suresmile, Invisalign, clear braces, and lingual braces. I maintain a state-of-the-art facility with the latest orthodontic technology, including digital X-rays for reduced radiation and 24-hour online access to your account and images.
I provide only the highest quality of care and customer service. I truly care about each of my patients and their families. I am a perfectionist in my work, and believe that every patient should be seen on time. Because our office is focused on individualized quality care, every patient is given the quality time they deserve.

Meet Dr. Pedro Miguel

From an early age, I discovered that my purpose was to help others. As a first-generation immigrant from Cuba, my roots and experiences taught me the value of effort, empathy, and service. My dream of becoming a dentist was born out of a deep desire to improve people’s quality of life through their smiles. Today, I feel honored to transform lives every day by providing warm, compassionate, and high-quality dental care.
My greatest motivation is my family, especially my young son, who are my daily drive and life mentors. I firmly believe that every patient deserves personalized attention, respect, and a positive experience in the office. I am here not only to care for smiles but also to build lasting trust and well-being.

Education

My dental career began in Cuba, where I earned my Doctor of Stomatology degree as the top of my class and completed a specialty in Dental Prosthetics (Prosthodontics). This phase was crucial in developing a solid foundation in advanced oral rehabilitation and dental aesthetics.
Later, I continued my academic preparation in the United States, earning my second dental degree at the University of Puerto Rico, where I graduated once again at the top of my class. This experience allowed me to integrate high-level clinical knowledge with a multicultural vision of dental care.
Throughout my career, I have participated in multiple community initiatives, providing free dental care and education to underserved populations, further strengthening my vocation for service.

In the Office

My approach as a dental professional goes beyond clinical treatment: it focuses on connecting with each patient, listening to their concerns, and creating personalized plans that address their unique needs. My experience in dental prosthetics allows me to restore smiles with precision, functionality, and beauty.
I consider myself to be a kind, understanding, and detail-oriented person. I strive to create an environment where my patients feel comfortable, valued, and heard. I firmly believe in the power of a healthy smile to transform lives, and I am committed to providing comprehensive care that reflects this vision.
