Meet Rudy Wagner

It was in the summer after high school that I realized I would become an orthodontist. That summer, I visited my uncle, an orthodontist and shadowed him in his practice. I loved seeing the relationships he created and the experience and care he gave to each of his patients. That experience awoke the spark to follow in his footsteps, to provide the best experience and quality care possible while forging real and lasting connections with patients and their families.

I grew up in Guaynabo, Metropolitan San Juan area in Puerto Rico, and attended the University of Puerto Rico, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology. While remaining at the University, in the School of Dental Medicine, I obtained my Doctorate of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) in 2008. After dental school, I completed a one-year General Practice Residency at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Following my residency, I returned to the University of Puerto Rico School of Dentistry in 2010, completing my orthodontic residency and receiving my Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) in 2013.

Time with family is my priority when I’m not in the office. My wife, Dr. Luz Desiree Visbal, and I have been together for 19 years and married for 16. We have two adorable kids, Rudy, Matthew and Marina. Our family enjoys our time together by traveling, going to the beach, boating, fishing, and supporting one another. Having grown up on an island, anything beach or water-related is essential to me. When I am out on the water, I am at my most calm and relaxed.
