Susan Berey, DMD

I believe that orthodontic treatment should be a positive and rewarding experience. Every patient is unique, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to help our patients improve their overall health and self-esteem while creating a healthy and beautiful smile. One of the best things about being an orthodontist is the relationship we develop with our patients and families. I love getting to know our patients and being a part of an amazing team of wonderful people.

I grew up locally here in Connecticut and am so happy to have come back to this area after living and studying in many different parts of the country. I attended Wellesley College, where I received my BA degree in three years and graduated summa cum laude. I then continued at Boston University and earned a master's degree in education. My DMD is from the University of Pennsylvania, where I was enrolled as a Dean's Scholar. Following this, I completed a specialty residency with an orthodontics certificate from UCLA. In addition to studying and training in clinical practice, I had the opportunity to conduct research in the fields or oral cancer and congenital craniofacial conditions while at UCLA and UPENN.

I currently serve on the Board of Trustees of the Connecticut State Dental Foundation, where I am actively involved in promoting oral health and access to dental care, two areas of great interest to me. I am also a member of the American Dental Association, Connecticut State Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontists, Northeastern Society of Orthodontists, and the Connecticut State Society of Orthodontists.

I live in West Hartford and am an active volunteer in the community and school systems. My husband and I have two teenage children and three rescue pets. In my spare time, I enjoy attending my children's sporting events, hiking, reading, cooking, and learning new languages.
