Meet Dr. Jeremy Vistica

Jeremy Vistica
DMD

A Passion for Advanced Orthodontics

Dr. Jeremy Vistica has a lifelong passion for orthodontics. That passion pushed him to pursue excellence in his education, training, and all aspects of his personal practice. With 14 years of experience, Dr. Vistica is an expert in performing orthognathic surgery and providing personalized care to patients of all ages.

Building an Environment of Smiles

Ever since he was a kid, Dr. Vistica knew he wanted to be an orthodontist. After each appointment, he looked forward to the next because it made him feel so special. After that, Dr. Vistica was inspired to pursue orthodontics, even keeping his headgear as a memento along the way.

Dr. Vistica’s 14-year career has taken him around the world, allowing him to practice his craft worldwide. Working as a general dentist in the Navy, in private practice, and in public health gave him the unique opportunity to hone the skills he brings to Brodsky Orthodontics.

Dr. Vistica believes in not just the result but the journey. When a patient sits down in the chair, they become more than just a patient. His goal is to create an enjoyable experience for each patient, making them excited for the next visit just as much as getting the smile of their dreams.

It’s Dr. Vistica’s goal to create an environment of support, encouragement, and joy, creating the same feeling for his patients that he had when he sat in the chair.

Education & Continuing Education

Dr. Vistica was born and raised in the beautiful state of Oregon. He graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science from Oregon State University. Then attended Oregon Health Sciences University School of Dentistry, earning a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2007.

Military Service & Beyond

With his education temporarily completed, Dr. Vistica’s career led him to join the United States Navy. He had the privilege of serving the dental needs of naval recruits in Great Lakes, IL, and sailors aboard the USS George Washington aircraft carrier in Yokosuka, Japan.

Post-Navy, Dr. Vistica continued with dentistry through various roles, from private practice to public health, before eventually becoming the Dental Director for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indian’s Health Clinic. This diverse career, spanning over 14 years, gave him the opportunity to work on and hone his practice.

Recognizing a Childhood Dream

Soon, Dr. Vistica’s childhood dream returned to him, and he returned to academia, joining a residency program in Washington DC at MedStar Washington Hospital Center/Georgetown University Medical Center/Children’s National Medical Center.

There, Dr. Vistica earned a certificate in Orthodontics. His program was rigorous, with a strong emphasis on orthognathic surgery preparation and on helping patients with cleft and craniofacial syndromes.

Outside of the Office

When he’s away from the office, Dr. Vistica spends time with his wonderful wife, Yuka, and their two amazing children, Laylana and Logan, who keep them busy and entertained. He met his wife during his time in the Navy while aboard the USS George Washington aircraft carrier in Yokosuka, Japan, while giving a tour of our ship’s dental department to Japanese dentists.

Their home is a bustling hub of activities, with hobbies ranging from the creative to the entertaining. Dr. Vistica has a passion for woodworking and house remodeling, keeping him busy transforming spaces.

When not working with his hands, karaoke and movie nights with the family are staples. If you bring up superheroes or TMNT, Dr. Vistica may have to learn how to reattach an ear after talking it off!
