“Doctor Marc” earned his Bachelor of Science degree in nutrition from Texas A&M University and went on to earn his DDS from the Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, TX. From there, he completed his residency at the LSU School of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics in New Orleans. Although he loves his home state of Texas and its people, he loves our areas and is now creating confident smiles for our patients here in Slidell and Gulfport.
Board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics and an American Association of Orthodontists member, Dr. Marc doesn’t just “treat” patients with the unmatched skill of a professional and artist. He also truly, deeply cares for all his patients, living out Teddy Roosevelt’s famous philosophy of “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
When he’s not making a positive and lasting impact on our patients’ lives, you can find him enjoying our unique city’s food and coffee scene. He might also be down for a pickup basketball game — or you can try to challenge him to a dance-off. Just be warned: he’s a member of the legendary 610 Stompers, so you better be ready with more than your “floss.”
Liz and Dr. Fruithandler have been phenomenal. During my first visit of my consult they gave me different options on how I wanted to proceed and were very helpful at understanding my smile journey and what to expect. I just finished my second appointment and again they were there to answer any questions and concerns I had. I was able to get my top braces on today and the two ladies who put them on explained the process and made sure everything was okay. She explained everything thoroughly in detail about taking care of the braces and manuevering around the braces to floss. I appreciate that she took the time to do all of that and welcomed me to the amenities they had. Overall everyone is kind and very professional 🙂
The staff was nice. I went for a consult walked out with braces. Dr. Marc and his is very thorough and I’m excited for this journey.
Dr. Marc and his team are Amazing . They make every visit feel so personal and genuinely care about their patients. Everyone is always so kind and welcoming. My daughter and I always leave feeling well cared for, and I highly recommend them⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There awesome wouldn't chose anyone else. Can't thank them enough! Brook was amazing, sweet, and Friendly. Every step of the process was amazing! Not many patients have a nickel allergy and they made sure I receive Nickel free brackets every appt. I will definitely miss this company. It took me 2 years to get my teeth 😬 like this and at first I was skeptical. When I first went into my consulation with Dr Marc made sure All my questions were answered and reassured me just because my teeth had issue/dental work doesn't mean I don't deserve that prefect smile. 😭😭😭 I can't thank him enough!
I had such a great experience at Smiles Doctor! Dr. Marc and his entire staff are amazing. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and professional, and they really make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Dr. Marc takes the time to explain everything and truly cares about his patients. On top of that, their prices are very affordable without sacrificing quality. I’m so thankful for the excellent care I received and highly recommend Smiles Doctor to anyone looking for an orthodontist!
