Meet Dr. Hassey

Dr. Hassey is a board-certified orthodontist whose academic and clinical credentials place him among the most highly qualified orthodontic specialists in the region. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from NYU School of Dentistry in New York, graduating at the top of his class with honors. Following his dental degree, Dr. Hassey completed a one-year general practice residency in advanced cosmetic dentistry at the University of Nevada’s School of Medicine before choosing to specialize in orthodontics.

He returned to New York to earn his Orthodontic Specialty Certificate from the prestigious Albert Einstein College of Medicine — one of the most respected orthodontic programs in the country. Dr. Hassey has also achieved board certification with the American Board of Orthodontists, the highest distinction attainable in the specialty of orthodontics. This certification reflects his ongoing commitment to clinical excellence and his dedication to providing patients with the highest standard of care.

After building his career in New York, Dr. Hassey returned to his roots in Southern California to raise his family and serve his community. He is honored to practice in Carlsbad alongside his wife Hollie and their four children, Jonathan, Ava, Matthew, and Julia. Dr. Hassey brings the same warmth and care he puts into family life into every patient relationship at Camino Real Orthodontics.

Our Approach to Orthodontic Care

At Camino Real Orthodontics, we believe that exceptional orthodontic care goes beyond straightening teeth. Every treatment plan we create is built around the individual — your goals, your timeline, your life. We take the time to thoroughly evaluate each patient’s bite, alignment, and overall oral health before recommending a course of treatment, and we remain committed to clear communication and education at every stage of the process.

We use modern digital imaging and scanning technology to ensure precise diagnostics and accurate treatment planning, and we stay current with the latest advances in orthodontic techniques so our patients always benefit from the most effective, efficient care available. Whether you are bringing your child in for their first evaluation or exploring adult treatment options for yourself, you can expect the same high level of personalized attention from our entire team.

A Practice Built for Families

We have created a family-friendly environment where patients of all ages — from young children to grandparents — feel welcome, comfortable, and cared for. Our team genuinely loves what we do, and that shows in every interaction.

We also understand that the investment in orthodontic treatment is significant, which is why we offer flexible payment options and financing plans designed to make care accessible for every family. If you are a new patient, we encourage you to explore our new patient resources and patient forms to make your first visit as smooth as possible.
