otto-matic confidence in every smile

Dr. Genevieve Otto

Orthodontist

Growing up, I always had a passion for science and medicine as well strong creative interests in design and aesthetics. Orthodontics is the perfect field for me because I not only create functional, healthy smiles but also beautiful smiles that help balance facial aesthetics. While I treat patients of all ages, I really love that I can be a positive influence on many adolescents during a very influential time in their lives. I cherish the opportunity to help people in my own community and enjoy getting to know them during their treatment. A career in orthodontics has given me the opportunity to increase self-confidence by designing smiles that everyone is proud to show off. Being able to affect others in such a way is truly a gift.

Education

Personal

I grew up in St. Charles, MO with my parents and two sisters who I am lucky to have a very close relationship with. Fortunately, my entire family still lives in St. Louis and I enjoy spending my free time with my parents, sisters, brothers-in-law and many nieces and nephews. My husband A.J. and I have three wonderful daughters of our own- Scarlett, Sloane and Teddi. When my husband and I are not running the practice, we love to travel with our daughters, try out new restaurants and spend time with friends and family.

Huge Shout out to our FABULOUS Dental Technician, Nichole!! She has this gentle, warm presence that is so friendly and comforting but she is also very knowledgeable!! We are proud clients of OTTO Orthodontics and have been absolutely amazed with the consistency throughout the entire experience. The front desk staff are always very warm and welcoming, and our wonderful dental technician Nichole is absolutely stellar! I am confident that OTTO Orthodontics is well aware how much of a huge asset Nichole is to their team! We have seen her a few times and every time she picks up right where we left off! She makes my 12-year-old daughter feel more than comfortable, and is professional, and also extremely thorough, explaining all steps and any important information that my daughter should know in effort to reach the best possible outcome - she is patient and also is FANTASTIC in providing wonderful suggestions based on my daughters likes! (Huge bonus that she also is actually “in the know” with what is trendy for her age group! 😜😬😍) She is personable and professional, but above all she is absolutely amazing at what she does! Everyone in this office has been WONDERFUL, but we are always hopeful that it is Nichole that we get to visit with again! Love everything about this place; the cleanliness, efficiency, professionalism not to mention the wonderful results we have seen in such a short amount of time! Dr. Larkin really took time to understand what we are trying to achieve and even though we were told that we weren’t ready to begin for a long period of time other places, Dr. Larkin listened, and understood… He did some digging to see how he could help us and came back with a master plan! A master plan that is absolutely proving itself to be effective which speaks to his high level of expertise and also ability to think outside the box. We are SO grateful that we found Otto Orthodontics- and will never go anywhere else! We highly recommend anyone with children especially to check them out because I guarantee you will see the same value, expertise and professionalism!

Thank you Nichole, Dr Larkin and all the other amazing staff! 😬

Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!

Everything was explained very thoroughly and the exam was very fast for my son’s first time being at an orthodontist! They all were so friendly 🩷we got all our questions answered and my son felt better after hearing the braces would not hurt 😊

I had a wire that poked a little bit into my cheek. They were able to get me in and replaced the wire the same day. Kaitlyn was super nice and got me in and out really quick.

Otto orthodontics is as good of a facility as they come. I have worked with both Dr. Otto and Dr. Larkin, and I cannot hyperbolic how skilled, passionate, professional, and easy to get along with they are. The facilities are clean and state of the art, and their support staff go above and beyond. As a fellow healthcare provider, this business sets the standard.

I can’t say enough about how incredible our first experience was with Dr. Otto and her stellar team. Her team made my kids feel so at ease and excited to be there! Dr. Otto was so thorough going over my twins treatment plan. Dr. Otto
is so knowledgeable and her passion for providing the highest care was very evident! The practice is beautiful and she invests in her patients with the best in class technology! We couldn’t be more thrilled to start our twins orthodontic journey with Dr. Otto! Thank Dr. Otto and team for a remarkable experience!

Hands down best experience I have ever had. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I essentially went in for a consultation regarding Invisalign or braces, and I left work braces the same day. It was such an easy to understand experience and everyone had such a positive attitude. Amazing experience.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our team made your Invisalign consultation such a positive experience. Your new braces are just the beginning of your journey with us. Looking forward to seeing you again!
