Dr. Kevin Baharvand Featured in Authority Magazine

Dr. Kevin Baharvand, founder and owner orthodontist at Elate Orthodontics, was recently featured in Authority Magazine, a nationally recognized publication known for in depth interviews with leaders in business, healthcare, and social impact.

The interview, titled “The Family Business Blueprint: Managing Relationships and Revenue Under One Roof,” explores how Dr. Baharvand and his wife, fellow orthodontist Dr. Julia Kang, successfully run a family owned orthodontic practice while balancing leadership, growth, and personal relationships.

In the feature, Dr. Baharvand shares what drew him to orthodontics and why he believes the specialty is about far more than straight teeth. He describes orthodontic care as a powerful driver of confidence and self esteem, and explains how that philosophy guides patient care at Elate Orthodontics across Frisco, The Colony, and Prosper.

The interview also highlights practical leadership lessons learned from building multiple practices, including the importance of clearly defined roles, professional communication within family businesses, and leading through uncertainty. Dr. Baharvand reflects on navigating challenges such as early startup mistakes and the COVID era, emphasizing adaptability, mentorship, and people first decision making.

When asked about the broader impact he hopes to make, Dr. Baharvand shares his vision for expanding access to high quality orthodontic care without compromising outcomes or ethics. His long term mission focuses on removing financial barriers so more families can receive excellent orthodontic treatment.

This Authority Magazine feature reinforces Elate Orthodontics’ commitment to family owned values, clinical excellence, and community focused care.
