In 2004, Dr. Nadene Tipton received her Diplomate status with the American Board of Orthodontics. This is a voluntary effort in continuing education that requires case presentations for critical review by a panel of nationally respected peers. The greatest significance of A.B.O. certification is the benefit of in-depth self-evaluation that goes into the years of preparation for board certification.
Dr. Nadene grew up in Kingwood, Texas and received her undergraduate education at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. After specialty training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, she graduated with her Master’s in Orthodontics in 1994.
Dr. Nadene began practicing orthodontics in 1994 in both Lubbock and Floydada. The goals of her office include delivering exceptional service and treatment results in a comfortable and fun atmosphere. Her education and experience offer the ideal combination to ensure that patients receive the best orthodontic care available. Dr. Nadene is proud of the personal attention each patient is guaranteed.
She was recently named the 49th recipient of the C.T. Rowland Award for Excellence in 2003. This honor is awarded to the new member of the Charles H. Tweed study group, who displays the most outstanding proficiency in clinical orthodontics. Dr. Nadene is the first woman to receive this award.
Dr. Nadene is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association and the Texas Dental Association. She has also been chairperson for Children’s Dental Health.
Outside the office, she is a member of her children’s school board, the Girl Scout Council and Lubbock Symphony Orchestra Boards and is active in her church and community.
