About Dr. Rola Alkhatib
Dr. Rola Alkhatib is an orthodontist whose approach to care is shaped by both academic excellence and real-life experience. Raised in New England by two educators, she developed an early respect for learning, discipline, and curiosity, values that continue to guide her professional philosophy today. Her commitment to continuing education ensures that patients benefit from thoughtful, up-to-date orthodontic care grounded in evidence and experience.
Dr. Rola completed the highly selective accelerated Bio-Dental program at the University of Pennsylvania, where she earned both her undergraduate and dental degrees. She graduated at the top 1% of her class, reflecting her strong academic foundation and dedication to clinical excellence.
After practicing as a general dentist, she returned to the University of Pennsylvania to complete her specialty training in orthodontics. During this time, her research was formally recognized for excellence and published in a peer-reviewed journal, further reinforcing her evidence-based approach to treatment.
Her combined experience in both general dentistry and orthodontics allows her to take a comprehensive view of each patient’s oral health, considering function, comfort, and long-term stability alongside optimizing aesthetics.
As a working mother of two, Dr. Rola understands firsthand the challenges of balancing family life, work, and healthcare appointments. This perspective directly informs how she designs her practice experience.
She uses modern digital orthodontic technology to streamline care and improve precision. Her approach is detailed and methodical, yet always centered on making treatment clear, efficient, and manageable for patients and families.
Patients describe her care style as calm and approachable, noting that she takes the time to thoroughly explain treatment options while keeping the process smooth and stress-free. By partnering closely with patients in their care, she helps create the best possible outcomes.
