FAITH & BUSINESS

What do you get when you combine a tireless work ethic with a passion for treating customers like family? You get Dr. Todd Bovenizer. Dr. Bovenizer grew up in rural Virginia in a family of pharmacists. By way of working in his father’s independent family drugstore, he developed his exemplary work ethic and commitment to treating each and every customer as if they were a close family member or friend. This mentality has carried over to his professional career and has been the foundation of his practice, Bovenizer & Baker Orthodontics, in Cary, North Carolina since its opening in 2006.

Dr. Bo says, “My faith in Jesus Christ has been instrumental in shaping how I live my day-to-day life. I have quickly realized that I need to seek His will and not my own. Life can be challenging, and this relationship has been key. I have been through differing layers of success and this does not bring happiness, in the end my faith and family will be what counts.”

Bovenizer & Baker Orthodontics has a huge focus on the community, being heavily involved in supporting local schools, organizations, and athletic groups. Dr. Bo feels he has always had great examples of people being generous in his life. It was a part of his upbringing. He feels blessed to be able to play a small part and at the same time invest back into the community that invests in him.

“The most satisfying aspect of my practice is being able to be authentic and real with our family of patients. Sharing my heart with this practice and building a relationship with them really makes me tick. I have to pinch myself sometimes, because it feels surreal. My team is the most unique part of my practice. We have 21 team members who give it their all every single day. We are blessed with a great, hardworking, and supportive team. Both Dr. Christopher Baker and myself pour our lives into the office each day. Remembering that each person on your team is valuable and treating them with respect is important in creating a prosperous work environment. Learning to become humble, in addition to honesty, helps build trust among both colleagues and peers, which is the key to leadership development and reputation establishment,” says Dr. Bo.
