Dr. Jeremy Zuniga is a Board Certified Orthodontist who deeply understands how beneficial it is to have a trusted partner in orthodontic care. He was first introduced to the profession as an adolescent growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was because of what orthodontic treatment did for both his self-esteem and self-confidence that he decided to follow in the footsteps of his orthodontist. Dr. Zuniga is fulfilling his lifelong dream through his work at Marshfield Orthodontics.
Dr. Zuniga moved to the Boston area while still in high school to pursue an unlikely ambition for a California kid: ice hockey. He loved Boston so much that he decided to stay for college and completed his pre-dental studies at Tufts University. He then attended Columbia University in New York, where he received both his dental and orthodontic training. Dr. Zuniga earned his DDS from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in 2010, where he was president of his class. Afterward, he completed a three-year orthodontic residency through which he earned his master’s degree in orthodontics.
While at Columbia, Dr. Zuniga won a national research award at the American Dental Association’s Annual Meeting, the New York Academy of Dentistry Exemplary Professional Conduct Award, and the OMS Foundation Daniel M. Laskin Award for the best published paper. He is also very proud to have achieved his board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics, which demonstrates the highest level of achievement in orthodontic training and excellence in patient care.
In 2013, Dr. Zuniga joined Marshfield Orthodontics, continuing Dr. Judge’s forty year tradition of providing quality and compassionate orthodontic care to the South Shore.
Dr. Zuniga is a member of the Professional Advocacy Council of Orthodontics and the American Association of Orthodontics. He and his wife, Lucinda, have two children. In his spare time Dr. Zuniga enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing ice hockey, and beach days.
Dr. Zuniga strives to be the best orthodontist for his patients and their families and hopes to have an opportunity to meet you in person in the near future.
