Dr. Natalie Gallerano Willis

Dr. Natalie Gallerano Willis is thrilled to be joining her father—a special mentor to her in both her personal life and her Orthodontic education--in his orthodontic practice. Dr. Willis was raised in West Houston and is a graduate of Stratford High School. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Plan II Honors program at The University of Texas at Austin, she returned home to Houston to pursue her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at The University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston. She went on to obtain her Master of Science degree and her Orthodontic Specialty Certificate from the UT School of Dentistry, as well.

Dr. Willis is currently undergoing the rigorous process of becoming board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. After achieving top scores on the first of two required examinations this year, she is looking forward to completing the process with her second examination in 2022. Despite her Longhorn roots, she has been married to Texas A&M’s proudest graduate and biggest fan for almost 7 years. She and her husband, Albert, love to travel, cook, and explore Houston with their Rough Collie. While she especially loves the unique challenge of orthodontic treatment planning and the detail-oriented work of creating beautiful smiles, Dr. Willis’ favorite part of practicing orthodontics is getting to invest in the lives of her patients and their families. Dr. Gallerano Willis looks forward to serving the Santa Fe community and contributing to the excellence and integrity that has long characterized Gallerano Orthodontics.
