Meet Dr. Robert Peterman

Being an orthodontist is truly a dream come true. Every day, I get to interact with wonderful patients and families, helping them achieve smiles that will last them a lifetime. I am constantly working hard to maintain the highest level of orthodontic care in the specialty. This means taking the extra step to make sure every patient, whether they are a child or adult with a simple or complex issue, feels confident and comfortable until the day we finish treatment together!

I can’t imagine a better practice with people any more wonderful than those on our team. We pride ourselves on being the true orthodontic specialists of Somerset County. Our doctors and staff put our hearts and souls into the practice and into our patients. We truly are a family, and I guarantee the first time you meet us, you’ll understand why. We’re always having fun, either with one another or with our patients and their families. Most importantly, we love showing off our extraordinary results!
