DES MOINES, IA – March 24, 2026 – Stork Orthodontics proudly announces it has been awarded Best Local Orthodontist for the seventh consecutive year and Best Overall Customer Service for the second time in the 2026 Des Moines CityView Best of Local awards. These prestigious honors highlight the ongoing commitment of the practice to providing top-tier orthodontic care and building strong relationships within the Des Moines community.
Since opening its doors in 2012 with just a team of two, Stork Orthodontics has experienced remarkable growth and transformation. Driven by a mission to serve others and boost confidence by transforming smiles, the practice has expanded to a highly skilled team of seventeen professionals. This significant growth reflects the deep trust local families place in the clinic to deliver personalized treatment plans that fit individual lifestyles and budgets. Winning the overall customer service award for a second time proves that treating patients with respect and kindness remains a central focus of the entire team.
“Our goal has always been to love others by providing compassionate care and personalized solutions for every patient. Winning this award again reaffirms that our commitment to respect, kindness, and quality truly makes a difference in the lives of the families we serve.” – Dr. Stork
Beyond compassionate care, the clinic continues to elevate the patient experience through advanced clinical innovation. The office operates as a fully digital environment designed to reduce stress and require fewer appointments. A state-of-the-art laboratory equipped with on-site 3D printers allows the team to fabricate clear aligners, retainers, and whitening trays directly in the building. These technological advancements streamline the entire treatment process, save patients valuable time, and ensure every procedure meets the highest standards of modern care.
Dedication to the Des Moines area extends far beyond the clinic walls. Dr. Stork and the Stork Orthodontics team actively support local education through regular donations to various schools and by providing silent auction baskets for community fundraising events. Furthermore, the practice awards an annual Senior Scholarship to one patient, demonstrating a deep investment in the future success and confidence of the local youth they serve.
