CONGRATULATIONS TO DR. GORDON OF SPILLERS ORTHODONTICS
Warner Robins, Georgia: June 29, 2017- Spillers Orthodontics is pleased to announce that Dr. Adam Gordon recently achieved board certification through The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO). Dr. Gordon practices orthodontics with Dr. J. Don Spillers Jr., at Spillers Orthodontics, with locations in both Warner Robins and Macon, Ga.

The American Board of Orthodontics was established in 1929 as the third certifying board in the health professions and the first in dentistry.

It is intended to provide assurance to the public that an orthodontic specialist has successfully completed an accredited educational program, a written board examination and an intensive evaluation process to assess the knowledge, skills and clinical expertise required to provide the highest quality of patient care. Achieving board certification demonstrates the orthodontist’s pursuit of continued proficiency and excellence in orthodontics.
Dr. Gordon received his dental degree from The Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine, finishing in the top of his class. He then completed a three-year, postgraduate orthodontic residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center, earning his Certificate in Orthodontics in 2015. Dr. Gordon joined J.
