Gordon B. Crouch, DMD, MDS

Dr Crouch co-founded this practice with his original partner, Dr. Brian Zeiner in 1970. As one of the first full-time orthodontic practices in the Farmington Valley, they developed a practice committed to providing dedicated, personal orthodontic care for many in the community.

Dr. Crouch, a native of Pittsburgh, PA, is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S. degree in Chemistry and a D.M.D. degree from the University of Pittsburgh's School of Dental Medicine. He was awarded an honors award from the American College of Dentists as well as recognition of honors in further education from the American Association of Endodontics. From there he served two years in the U.S. Navy Dental Corp, contributing in the areas of oral surgery and research. He received an honorable discharge with the rank of Lieutenant Commander, then returned to his graduate studies to earn his certificate of specialization and obtained his Master's degree in Orthodontics from the University of Pittsburgh.

Dr. Crouch believes in a balance of serving others less fortunate in a global sense, as well as treating all his patients to his highest standards. He and his wife, Nancy, are highly involved building and starting a medical clinic in a rural village in Uganda, Africa. They have brought together several faith communities to ensure this project comes to fruition. The process with which this has happened has been full of miracles and has truly blessed all involved.

In Dr.Crouch's free time, he enjoys golf with friends, working on model trains and restoring antique cars. He and Nancy have been blessed with two wonderful sons, their lovely wives, and six beautiful grandchildren.

Anytime he can, he gets outside, no matter the weather.
