Orthodontist Spark Orthodontics
Looking for an orthodontist who loves kids, his work and Berks County in general? Take a glance at Dr. Jason Hartman’s fun and inviting website and you’ll know you’ve found your guy. Dr. Hartman’s ever-growing Spark Orthodontics practice — with six offices in Temple, Bethlehem, Schuylkill Haven, Schnecksville, Lancaster and York — is all about providing exceptional orthodontic care to each and every patient.
A Berks native, Dr. Hartman graduated from Muhlenberg High School and later completed his undergraduate studies at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. After graduating magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry, his interest in medicine drew him to Johnson & Johnson, where he worked as a chemist. Spending time shadowing both physicians and dentists in their daily routines, Dr. Hartman realized orthodontics was the positive and rewarding career he was looking for.
He received a D.M.D., summa cum laude, from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in Philadelphia. He also completed a one-year general dentistry residency at Lehigh Valley Hospital, where he now teaches. A three-year span specializing in orthodontics at Columbia University, consistently known to be one of the best orthodontic programs in the country, followed. Dr. Hartman is a double Ivy League school graduate — quite an accomplishment. From NYC back to Berks, Dr. Hartman set out to design a state-of-the-art orthodontics practice that would provide a safe, comfortable and fun environment for the County’s young patients. Fun, bright colors, video game units, televisions, and the most high-tech gadgetry in dentistry are just a few things making Spark the premier orthodontic practice in the region.
Dr. Hartman enjoys working with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. “I love their fresh and funny perspective on things; it keeps my workday interesting and unpredictable.”
That love for children certainly extends to his home life. He and his wife Kirby have four sons: 3-year-old twins, a 2-year-old, and a 1-year-old. And despite the sea of diapers, Dr. Hartman is loving life. “I wouldn’t change a thing,” he says. “I feel so incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful family, an incredible Spark team, and such amazing patients.”
