Your State College Orthodontist

Meet Dr. Diane Ray

Our fabulous team has practiced in State College for over two decades. I am happy to be part of a warm and friendly environment at State College Orthodontics.

Together, we strive to create a positive atmosphere for each other and the people we serve.

Being a solo practitioner has allowed me to balance my commitments to my family and my patients to the best of my ability. I truly love what I do. Both personally and professionally, I try to be a positive influence in the lives of others.

Education & Experience

After I graduated from Penn State with a B.S. with honors in biology, I attended Temple University School of Dentistry, where I received my D.M.D. During my second year of dental school, I realized what a great fit the specialty of orthodontics was for me.

After dental school, I attended the University of Maryland Dental School for a three-year post-graduate dental residency in Orthodontics.

While in residency, I had the opportunity to participate in craniofacial genetic research at the Johns Hopkins Hospital Center for Craniofacial Disease and Disorders. In addition to earning a certificate in Orthodontics, I also received a Master of Science in Oral Biology.

 

Outside of the Office

I was blessed to meet my husband, Steve, during my residency. We have two beautiful children and enjoy living in State College.
