Meet the doctor
Get to know Dr. Zakaluzny
I practiced general dentistry for 9 years before transitioning to orthodontics nearly a decade ago, where I practiced at Travis Air Force Base as a member of the US Air Force. I had the opportunity to mentor Oral Maxillofacial residents as well as Advanced Education in General Dentistry residents.
I treated mostly Air Force service members, many who were unable to have orthodontic treatment before joining the service. I truly enjoyed being able to help improve the smiles and faces of the service men and women.
I was commissioned into the Air Force on a Health Professions Scholarship in 2003, completed a 1-year AEGD residency, and was stationed overseas in Japan and Germany before being selected for the Tri-Service Orthodontic Residency Program in San Antonio, Texas.
Outside the office
While stationed in Japan, I met my amazing husband Scott. We have been married for 15 years and have two beautiful daughters who keep us very busy with all of their activities.
Our family loves hiking, biking, swimming, skiing and camping — and we have made a goal to see as many National Parks and National Monuments as we can.
