Meet the Team

Dr. Etman was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and earned a Bachelor’s degree in History from New York University. He remained at NYU's College of Dentistry for his post-graduate education and met his wife while earning a Doctorate of Dental Surgery.

After receiving his Doctorate, Dr. Etman attended a General Practice Residency at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital in New York City, where he gained knowledge of emergency dental treatment, implant placement, restoration, endodontics, and cosmetic dentistry, as well as treating medically compromised patients.

Dr. Etman considers himself a lifelong student of dentistry and regularly enrolls in continuing education courses in Invisalign, endodontics, and interactive implant surgery courses. He strives to keep up to date with the latest techniques and technology.

Dr. Etman, his wife, and two little ones are excited to call Boca Raton home. Before moving to Boca, they lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Dr. Etman owned and operated a successful dental practice.

Dr. Kayla Bateman was born and raised in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She attended the University of Notre Dame, where she received her Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences and became an avid college football fan.

Thereafter, she received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at New York University's College of Dentistry, where she was a peer mentor, and assistant professor, and was a two-time recipient of the Dean's Research Award. Following her NYU Doctorate, Dr. Bateman attended a General Practice Residency at Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital, which was focused on the treatment of medically compromised patients.

Dr. Bateman then moved to Nevada, where she attended a three-year residency program to specialize in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at Roseman University of Health Sciences.

Dr. Bateman is a Board-Certified Orthodontist. It was extremely important for Dr. Bateman to pursue this achievement which allowed her to further enhance her treatment planning and case finishing skills. Dr. Bateman is consistently taking continuing education courses and is continually trying to keep up to date with new techniques and all the latest technology.

In addition, Dr. Bateman is an active member of:

• American Association of Orthodontists
• College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics
• American Dental Association
• Florida Dental Association and Palm Beach County Dental Association

Dr. Bateman and Dr. Etman are super excited to be part of the Boca Raton community with their two little ones! In her spare time, Dr. Bateman loves spending time with her family and friends, traveling, trying new restaurants, and watching Notre Dame Football!
