Meet Dr. Hoda Salim
Dr. Salim has been interested in the field of dentistry since she was a kid. She grew up working in her parents’ dental office and had some amazing mentors that helped her find her true calling. While in dental school she took her first orthodontics course and from there she knew that she wanted to pursue orthodontics as her specialty. She found that the combination of esthetics, physics, and biology was the perfect fit for her. It was not until she started practicing that she truly realized the impact orthodontics has on an individual’s life. This has only increased her passion for the field.
Her favorite thing about practicing orthodontics is the bond she builds with her patients over the course of their treatment. She loves seeing the change in her patient’s confidence and seeing them smile from ear to ear.
Dr. Salim’s goal is for her patients to enjoy their orthodontic experience and for them to feel comfortable, confident, and educated.

Our History
SS Ortho was originally founded by Dr. Steven Sabatino, who has been serving the Phoenix community since 1987. After completing his orthodontic specialty training at Marquette University, Dr. Sabatino built his practice with a focus on one-on-one patient care, advanced treatment techniques, and strong relationships with families and dentists across the Valley.
For more than 30 years, his leadership and dedication helped shape the practice into the trusted orthodontic home it is today. While Dr. Sabatino has since stepped back from day-to-day patient care, his vision and commitment to excellence remain at the heart of SS Ortho.
