Dr. Sara Patterson

It is a privilege to join the team at Otto Orthodontics and to continue serving the St. Louis community. I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from A.T. Still University in Missouri and went on to complete a comprehensive three-year orthodontic residency at the University of Pittsburgh. During my training, I had the opportunity to learn from leading experts in biomechanics and craniofacial growth and development—experiences that have profoundly shaped my clinical philosophy. I am committed to providing personalized, evidence-based treatment that transforms smiles and changes lives.

My daughter, Sage, and our Golden Cavapoo, Scout, are excited to be returning to The Hill. Outside the office, I enjoy staying active at CycleBar and cheering Sage on at the soccer field.

Whether you are exploring orthodontic treatment for your child, teen, or yourself, I look forward to partnering with you to achieve a smile that reflects your best self.
