Accounting major turned orthodontist returns to provide care in hometown

This week’s Up-and-Comer is Lauren Witte, an orthodontist at Barrow Orthodontics. I grew up in Sioux Falls and have always known it is where I wanted to end up. I have lived in a number of cities and states while pursuing and completing my education, but Sioux Falls was always home. I made incredible friends in the places I lived in throughout my education but lived far enough away that I could only see my family a few times out of the year.

I am incredibly blessed to have grown up in a city as fantastic as Sioux Falls and am beyond thrilled to be back to continue building my life in such a great community.
