About Dr. Eric Bortnem
Dr. Eric became an orthodontist because he wanted to empower his patients by creating beautiful, healthy smiles. He first became interested in dentistry after an unfortunate encounter with a baseball bat as a teenager, and he enjoys seeing his patients’ personal growth and increased confidence during their orthodontic treatment! Dr. Eric’s wife, Lena, is also an orthodontist, and they have a cat named Frank. In their free time, they enjoy traveling, DIY home design and renovation, and learning to country swing dance. He also enjoys listening to various podcasts, and playing his favorite game, GeoGuessr!
