Damon Szymanowski of Szymanowski Orthodontics makes the job of straightening teeth FUN. Just ask his patients, especially the kids. Turn on the music and roll out the Candy Cart when a young patient arrives at the day of getting their braces off. It all happens at his offices located on 99 Scripps Drive in Sacramento. The word that Szymanowski uses repeatedly is "EXPERIENCE." It's all about the EXPERIENCE. Sound familiar?

In today's episode of Experience the Buzz, Host Steve Buzzard explores the world of orthodontics with Dr. Damon. "I have always been fascinated with individuals who will go beyond college and do schooling for 4-7 additional years. Damon is so well respected in the community and it's great that what he loves to do, he gets to do in his hometown of Sacramento."  Our conversation hits THREE areas: 

• Segment ONE 💥  starts by answering the question, "what is the difference between a dentist and an orthodonist." Damon talks about his family that has an extensive medical background and takes us down memory lane with his childhood in Sacramento. We also find out where Damon's gift of generosity came from in his life.
• Segment TWO 💥 highlights Damon's life as a swimmer, starting as a youngster at Arden Hills Country Club and finishing as a college swimmer at Cal. Szymanowski talks about life after sports and his pursuit of becoming an orthodontist and finding love on the East Coast with his now-wife Alison.
• Segment THREE 💥 gives us the vision behind the success of Szymanowski Orthodontics. The Sacramento native explains the secret sauce behind the experience he and his staff of 12 provide for their patients. We also talk about the cool Szymanowski Orthodontics logo, braces and invisalign, debunking some myths and a great finish with Rapid Fire.

Here are some of my favorite HIGHLIGHTS  ...
▪️1. Medical Family indeed. Damon's Dad (periodontist), Damon's Mom (nurse), one brother (also a periodontist), and other brother (physician). If that wasn't enough, Alison and her family also ALL have medical professions.
▪️2. Discipline and Effort -- what Swimming at Cal taught him in terms of life lessons
▪️3. "My Goal is to give the most beautiful smile in the safest way." Words from the boss himself. He keeps it simple and FUN!

Our Connection | I met Damon when his kids participated in my Buzzardball Basketball Winter League and Summer Camp.  Damon and Szymanowski Orthodontics have been one of my league's TOP SPONSORS for the past four years.
