  • Simply Awesome

    Great and varied guests with great questions and input from Dr. DeLuke. This is a mind expanding and paradigm busting exposure to the broader scope of orthodontic treatment and healthcare in general with an emphasis on airway but that’s related to so many other issues that are also explored. The podcasts are immensely valuable and the return on time invested is well worth it. Highly recommended.

    As a PGY1 orthodontic resident, the DOC podcast has been a great and entertaining avenue to learn about Phase 1 treatment and airway. It’s opened my mind to the different services orthodontists could be providing patients.

    Thanks Dr. Mike!

    It’s clear that Dr. DeLuke puts his heart and soul into every one of his episodes. He’s incredibly well-versed in research to support his ideas, yet remains open-minded when new information is brought to the table. He’s in search of truth, with the aim of genuinely helping people, which is what healthcare is all about. His podcast blazes new frontiers, like airway-focused orthodontics and mental/emotional health of healthcare providers. He is filling a much needed void for many of us. This podca... more

  • A Sensible Voice in a Growing Field!

    The world of dentistry and orthodontia is at a tipping point in the evolution of modern science…modern industrialized living has changed modern faces to become more crowded, with crooked teeth and dysfunctional breathing and swallowing patterns. The field of orthodontia is poised to tackle these challenges…Dr. DeLuke is a masterful educator who proceeds into this fascinating (and controversial ) territory with humanity, humor, and intellectual curiosity.
