Rhoads Orthodontics stands out as a small business dedicated to community involvement and giving back. Our community, particularly Cranberry Township, Mars, Zelienople, and Wexford, is integral to everything we do in and out of our office, and we want to tell you all about how we’re involved in our remarkable community.
A Personal Responsibility
Dr. Rhoads views her role as much broader than that of an orthodontist. She and our practice feel a deep obligation to serve as role models and outstanding influences to our community by uplifting every person we encounter.
- Every Interaction Counts: Whether inside or outside the office, our interactions focus on positivity, kindness, and genuine care. Our team is committed to making everyone who visits feel special and valued. If you’re having a difficult day, our goal is to provide warmth and support to brighten your spirits, in addition to excellent orthodontic treatment.
- Encouraging Patient Success: We don’t just cheer from the sidelines; we encourage our patients to achieve their goals. From inviting aspiring orthodontists to shadow our practice to sponsoring local teams, events, and clubs, your interests become our interests. Nothing makes us happier than celebrating your achievements.
- Creating Smiles, Enhancing Lives: We take pride in creating stunning smiles through expert orthodontic care, but our ultimate mission is to fill our community with happiness. Every patient is like family, so we’re dedicated to making sure you feel supported and cherished both during and after treatment.

Engaging with Youth and Family Programs
A lot happens in the classroom, but beyond that, we are proud to sponsor and participate in various community and club activities, such as:
