What Sets Us Apart

At Gutierrez Orthodontics, patients in Las Cruces, New Mexico receive care from a board certified orthodontist — certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), a distinction earned through additional rigorous examination beyond standard licensure, reflecting a deeper commitment to the highest treatment standards in the specialty. (Curious what that distinction means? Use the ABO’s official orthodontist locator to search for a board certified orthodontist in your area and see how few truly hold this credential.)

With more than 10 years of experience and fluency in Spanish, Dr. Gutierrez has personally treated over 3,000 patients throughout the Las Cruces community. Unlike many practices where patients are shuffled between rotating associate doctors, Dr. Gutierrez is the only orthodontist at Gutierrez Orthodontics, so patients benefit from consistent, one-on-one care with the same doctor from initial consultation through the final retainer — never having to “re-explain” their case or adjust to a new provider mid-treatment.

Doctor Gutierrez is supported by a highly trained team skilled in clinical orthodontics and customer service, with ongoing educational credits earned through nationally recognized institutions such as Shimmin Consulting and The Ritz-Carlton Leadership Center, ensuring every patient interaction reflects the practice’s culture of excellence.

Gutierrez Orthodontics is also proudly and independently locally owned, not a franchise or satellite office controlled by an out-of-state corporation, which means treatment decisions are made by Dr. Gutierrez, not a corporate office. The practice combines that personalized approach with advanced in-house 3D technology for faster, more precise appliances and retainers. This commitment to excellence is reflected in the practice’s reputation: over 400 five-star Google reviews from Las Cruces patients who experienced firsthand the high level of customer service that defines every visit.
