Continuing the Legacy: Hubbard Orthodontics Joins Bortnem Orthodontics
We’re excited to share some important news about the future of our practice. After 33 incredible years serving the Stephenville community, Dr. Hubbard is beginning a new chapter—one that includes welcoming a new face to lead the next generation of care.
Dr. Eric Bortnem is joining our team as the new lead orthodontist, bringing fresh energy, advanced training, and a genuine commitment to continuing the same high-quality, personalized care you’ve come to expect at Hubbard Orthodontics.
What This Means for You
While this marks the beginning of a new era, it’s also a thoughtful and gradual transition. Dr. Hubbard will still be a familiar face around the office, working alongside Dr. Eric for the next several months in a more limited patient role. This partnership ensures a smooth, seamless handoff with no interruption to your care.
The heart of our practice isn’t changing—and that’s what matters most. Our incredible team at Hubbard Orthodontics will remain right here, providing the same friendly faces, personalized service, and dependable care you’ve always known. As Dr. Eric Bortnem steps into ownership and leads the practice forward, you can trust that our commitment to you and your family remains just as strong.
Carrying on a Legacy of Excellence
Dr. Hubbard and the entire team are genuinely excited about this transition. Why? Because we truly believe the Bortnems are the perfect fit. They share the same values, compassion, and dedication to treating patients like family. This isn’t just a change in leadership—it’s a continuation of the loving, community-focused care that has always been at the heart of our practice.
You’ll continue to be welcomed with warmth, treated with respect, and cared for like one of our own. That’s a promise—from our family to yours.
