Dr. Valerie Jenkins earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 1993 from Harvard University. She went on to complete a general practice residency and a surgical research fellowship at Harvard Medical School teaching hospitals. After obtaining her specialty training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at New York University, she began her orthodontic career in New York City and New Jersey.
