Elate Orthodontics Featured in Shoutout DFW Spotlight on Doctor-Owned Healthcare
Elate Orthodontics, a family owned orthodontic practice serving Frisco, The Colony, and surrounding North Texas communities, was recently featured in Shoutout DFW, a publication known for highlighting local leaders, entrepreneurs, and independently owned businesses making a meaningful impact.
The feature profiles Dr. Kevin Baharvand, co-founder of Elate Orthodontics and Tribute Family Dentistry, and explores the philosophy behind building doctor owned healthcare practices rooted in relationships, quality, and long term trust. The interview reflects on the practice’s founding in 2019, the expansion into comprehensive family dentistry in 2024, and the intentional decision to remain privately owned in an increasingly corporate healthcare landscape.
In the interview, Dr. Baharvand shares that Elate Orthodontics was created with a clear mission. Provide high quality orthodontic care using modern technology, efficient systems, and thoughtful pricing, while maintaining a personal connection with every patient and family. That mission continues to guide the practice’s growth and daily operations.
“What matters most to families is knowing who is responsible for their care,” said Dr. Baharvand. “We wanted to create an environment where patients see the same doctors, feel known, and trust that clinical decisions are being made with their best interests in mind. Being independently owned allows us to practice orthodontics the right way.”
Elate Orthodontics is led by Dr. Baharvand and Dr. Julia Kang, a husband and wife orthodontic team recognized for clinical excellence, efficient treatment outcomes, and strong community involvement. Dr. Baharvand’s background includes advanced orthodontic training, continued education, national lecturing on aligner therapy, and a master’s degree in organizational leadership, which influences the practice’s emphasis on culture, communication, and patient experience.
The Shoutout DFW feature also highlights the practice’s values centered on family, health, and happiness, as well as the importance of staying connected to the communities they serve. With locations in Frisco, The Colony, and Prosper, Elate Orthodontics continues to attract families seeking experienced, doctor led orthodontic care.
The full interview is available on Shoutout DFW and provides insight into the leadership, values, and philosophy behind one of North Texas’s most trusted orthodontic practices.
