Growing up in sunny California, Dr. Nathan Hawley has always been a fan of college football, a good BBQ, and the great outdoors. He and his wife Stacie live in Gretna with their 4 beautiful and active daughters. Dr. Hawley laughs that growing up with only sisters and now having only daughters he’s become quite the expert on princesses and dance parties. He’s also fluent in Spanish, serving a two-year church mission in Paraguay.

Dr. Hawley’s education has taken his family across the United States, and they’ve enjoyed getting to know many parts of the country. He received his Bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, UT, and then earned his dental degree at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He finished his training at the University of Kentucky (Go CATS! – his college basketball team), where he completed a Fellowship in Craniofacial Biology, a Master’s degree in Dentistry, and a residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.

During his years of training, Dr. Hawley was honored with multiple recognitions including, The Dean’s Leadership Award, The Student Excellence Award, the Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Academic Achievements, and the Henry M. Thornton Fellowship. He has authored 7 articles in peer-reviewed journals and has given presentations at multiple local, national, and international dental meetings. Additionally, he is an Eagle Scout (and is still a Dentistry Merit Badge counselor).
