October 9, 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 19 ����� in business Dr. Elizabeth Ellen - Orthodontist D r. Elizabeth Ellen is a third generation orthodontist. Her grandfather and father both enjoyed 40 years of orthodontic practice, and she carries on the tradition of helping patients keep teeth healthy and functional for a lifetime, along the way improving the self confidence that comes from a beautiful new smile. Her professionally trained, highly capable office staff works as a team to assure their patients’ progress and success. Their approach is personal, developing warm relationships with their patient families during and after treatment. This relation- ship begins with a simple office visit for an examination and evaluation to determine if and when orthodontic treatment is in order. Dr. Ellen received her undergradu- ate degree at Tufts University, and spent a year at the Harvard School of Public Health before resuming her studies at the University of Pennsylvania Dental School. She completed a clinical clerkship in the Department of Oral Surgery at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center and received her Orthodontic degree from the Univer- sity of Illinois at Chicago. She is currently an Associate Professor of Clinical Ortho- dontics at Columbia University and is a member of the Craniofacial Team at St. Dr. Elizabeth Ellen Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. She often speaks to children in grade schools about oral and dental health topics. She and her husband, Dr. Robert Pressman, a Livingston dentist, have a daugh- ter, 14, and a son, 11. They live in Franklin Lakes. Dr. Ellen explains that the majority of patients are ready to begin orthodontic treatment between the ages of 7 and 12 years. With the increasing popularity of adult orthodontics, Dr. Ellen enjoys treating many adult patients in her practice. Dr. Ellen offers a variety of budgeting options and makes every effort to maxi- mize the insurance benefits to which clients are entitled. Visa and Mastercard are accepted. Dr. Ellen has offices at 808 High Mountain Road in Franklin Lakes (201-891- 4606) and at 659 Valley Road in Wayne (973-694-8082).

The nine-year-old Bichon, who cel- ebrated her birthday just last week, is always ready to receive guests: from humans offering her a pat on the head, to nervous first-time canine visitors in for a day of pampering at the pet spa, to returning friends for some time at daycare. Her staff offers grooming - from breed standard to a practical pet clip - by experienced, professionally-trained pet stylists. They clip nails, clean ears or rec- ommend special shampoos or products for specific needs, such as a dry coat, sensitive skin or a luxurious cleaning. Rosie enjoys sharing a secure outdoor play area with her friends on a break from their grooming regime or with her playmates in for daycare for a few hours or a full day. She offers a game of tag, exploring the scents or lounging on a grassy spot in the sun. Come in and visit this state-of-the-art facility. We can discuss your pet’s require- ments to see what care will best serve you and your best friend’s needs. Rosie would love to meet you. Le Chien is located at 26 Central Ave. in the Wortendyke section of Midland Park. It is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
