Get to Know Your Orthodontist

Meet Dr. Robert Passamano

Before I came along, over a decade ago, my dad was a pillar of orthodontics here in Irvine and a great name in the community. He still is, actually, and people still come back here to our office expecting the same thing. So my goal as far as the next 30 years is to continue the tradition of providing excellent clinical results, personalized care, and just being a great community person and give back to the city that has treated me so well.

I’ve grown up here and I’ve been here for almost 40 years now. I love Irvine and so I’m going to take care of its kids, teens, and adults – whoever wants to come in and get a great smile, have a great time, and gain the confidence that they want.
