Meet Dr. Burgess
Dr. Burgess was born in Huntington, NY and grew up not far from there. She attended college at Columbia University in New
York City where she majored in biology. After spending 2 years in Maryland post-college, she decided to pursue a career in
dentistry. She received a number of scholarships to attend the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. She
graduated at the top of her dental class in addition to being heavily involved in volunteer work throughout the four year
curriculum. Dr Burgess was then accepted into an orthodontic program at the University of Detroit Mercy in Michigan. She was
able to explore and master a wide range of orthodontic techniques as well as earning a Master of Science degree for her research
of the remineralization of incipient carious lesions (white spots) during orthodontic treatment. Following graduation, she
practiced for several years in Michigan, during which she completed the American Board of Orthodontic exam. Unfortunately,
the winters in Michigan were just too cold so Dr Burgess relocated to Austin TX. She is delighted to have joined the practice
of Dr Nelson, an orthodontist that she greatly respects. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, biking and her husband Jon's
wonderful cooking.
Dr Burgess is a member of the following professional organizations:
- American Board of Orthodontics
