DR. CAROLYN
GARDINER

The ﬁeld of orthodontics really allows us to make a visible transformation in our patients’ lives. I love meeting new patients and guiding them through treatment to create a beautiful result. I strive for excellence and perfection in my work.

I am so excited to be joining the team at Puntillo & Crane Orthodontics. I look forward to providing patients with the same high-quality orthodontic care and excellent customer service that this team currently provides. I am thankful they have chosen me to work alongside them in creating an aesthetic and functional result.

I am originally from Crown Point, Indiana and have moved back to the area. My husband Aaron and I have three boys, Beckett, Landon and Crew. When I am not in the office, I spend my free time running, baking and playing with my boys!
