Meet Dr. Strickland


Dr. Kativa Strickland
As an orthodontist, I believe I can impact patients’ lives by helping build confidence through their smiles. When I was younger, I had a major gap between my two front teeth! After going through braces, I loved my new smile and wanted to bring that same joy to others, so I decided to become an orthodontist! I can’t wait to help patients achieve their confident smiles!

I grew up in Southern California, and I finally made the leap to move out of state for orthodontic residency. I love living in the Dallas area and everything it has to offer. I am a big foodie, love hiking and walking, and love to travel! I can’t wait to serve the community of Ellis County!
