Dr. Todd Bovenizer

Dr. Todd Bovenizer grew up in rural Virginia in a family of pharmacists. While working in his father’s independent family drugstore, he developed a tireless work ethic and a passion for treating customers like family. This mentality has carried over to his professional career, and has been the cornerstone of the practice since its opening in 2006. Dr. Bo is enjoying life with his family. He spends most of his time with his wife, Megan, and their 3 wonderful young girls.

Dr. Bo can often be spotted at the soccer fields in Cary cheering his daughters on. He is also heavily involved in their school, Cary Christian, and his church, Colonial Baptist. When he is not studying up on the latest orthodontic techniques, he can be found working out, drinking smoothies, playing tennis, or traveling to the coast. He is also quite the daredevil, as he loves wakeboarding, snow skiing, and traveling the US.
