Dr. Jason grew up in Northern California listening to stories of his Dad's youth in Brooklyn, NY. By the time he was ready to attend dental school he wanted to experience some of those big NYC stories for himself and attended NYU. After completing dental school, he immediately joined the United States Navy and practiced for five years as a Navy Dentist onboard multiple ships and shore commands. When the time came for him to continue his professional training as an orthodontist, he jumped at the opportunity to get back to New York and trained in a three year residency program at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center. Finally realizing his dream of becoming an orthodontist, his love for New York and ultimate desire for smaller town living brought him to Elmira, New York where he felt beyond privileged to meet Dr. Ron Bellohusen. The enthusiasm that he and his team had for orthodontics and creating smiles was so evident and infectious that Dr. Jason knew he was in the right place immediately. It is in that same spirit of community, family and quality smiles that Southern Tier Orthodontics is born.
Besides working with you to create your smiles, Dr. Jason loves to spend time with his family. He loves to surf. And to skateboard. He comes from a big lacrosse family and he's happy to share stories of his little brother's incredible performance in the 2004 National Championship against none other than area favorite, Syracuse University. His disdain for Syracuse is only skin deep, as he understands that the Orange are humans too and it's only taken 17 years of intense introspection to arrive at that conclusion.
