Orthodontist Dr. Suzanne Grey in Mandeville and Kingston, Jamaica
When Dr. Suzanne Grey was six years old, her family migrated to Jamaica from the United States, accompanying her father as he embarked on starting his career as a dentist. Dr. Grey’s father was very adamant that all his children receive orthodontic consultations as soon as their permanent teeth started to erupt. One of the things she remembers vividly was the two-hour drive she would take each month to Kingston from Mandeville to visit the orthodontist.
At the time, there was no orthodontist in town, and that drive was the only way for her to obtain orthodontic care. Though it was a fun trip, she knew that orthodontic care was a much-needed service and that there were many others in Mandeville who were forced to seek care outside of their jurisdiction because of the lack of orthodontists in the area. It is this recollection, coupled with her thirst for knowledge and advanced education, which has led Dr. Grey to pursue a specialized degree in orthodontics.
