Meet Our Orthodontists

Combined Experience of Over 40 years

Dr. Sam and Dr. Cindy’s story began at LSU Dental School. “I met my lovely wife Cindy “Cindy Lou” on her first day of dental school.” Dr. Sam relates. They fell in love studying side by side in the library and offering assistance to one another as they learned to provide treatment for patients. That sort of support and companionship is a hallmark of their philosophy of orthodontic treatment.

Patients at Pulitzer Orthodontics benefit from the experience of two orthodontists while receiving the continuity of care of having the same doctor for their entire treatment!

Louisiana natives, the Pulitzers chose to move to Tennessee not long after Hurricane Katrina. They are the proud parents of three sons, Bryce, Avery, and Vaughn. Starting in 2024, their household will be divided as their eldest son begins attending UT! You might often find them at local sporting and band events, enthusiastically supporting their boys. Family is their greatest joy!

Whitney W.

Amazing work! I am 39 years old and had braces for the first time the last 18 months and just got them off today! I am so thrilled with the results! The staff and Dr. Cindy have always been super friendly and very knowledgeable. When/if my kids need braces, they will be going to Dr. Cindy 100%!

Lisa Y.

Highly recommend! Very pleased with her results...

Jeremy H.

Great ortho!

Denny D.

Dr. Cindy is one of the finest dental professionals I have experienced. Pulitzer Orthodontics is top-notch. It is a pleasant experience, from name recognition when walking in the door to a heartfelt “goodbye” as you leave.

Kim M.

I hated my smile, I hated meeting new people because I knew the first thing they always looked at was my teeth. Thanks to Dr. Cindy and her staff for their attention to detail and absolute best care and kindness I have a smile to be proud of and better yet my confidence has made it so much easier meeting and talking to people. I highly recommend Dr. Cindy and all the staff at Pulitzer Orthodontist. Thank You from the bottom of my heart❤️

The staff are great, Dr Pulitizer is great, and all around a wonderful place

Sarah F.

All three of our daughters have gone through the braces process with Pulitizer Orthodontics. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. They worked around our schedule, scheduled the girls at the same time when possible, and made last minute changes when we needed it. They always took the time to answer any questions we had, and even came in on a Saturday when we had an urgent issue. They made our girls' comfort a priority and always listened to any concerns we had. We are glad to finally be finished with braces, and we are just as thankful to have had such friendly and caring people taking care of our girls during this braces journey (times 3.)

Sherry C.

Five of my children have been under the orthodontic care of Dr. Sam and Dr. Cindy. They both have been amazing!

We highly recommend!!

I couldn’t be more pleased with Pulitzer Orthodontics! Dr Sam’s attention to detail and his customer centric satisfaction is so important to him. He cares about what your expectation, of your final results can be. He was so good about explaining the process and what I should expect. I’m the patient that’s had some bad experiences when it comes to hands in my mouth lol. He was such an awesome guy who is passionate about what he does everyday! Thank you to all the awesome staff at Pulitzer. I would highly recommend them!

The bar of establishing A relationship in the medical field had been raised between a doctor With a child in their family has been raised due to this office!!!!!!My daughter felt comforted.And at home the moment she walked in, through the process of the way Dr. Cindy talked to her as she was establishing the foundationalWork that they were going to do together.The technician that is going to work alongside, Shannon has given also my daughter great confidence that she is there.And well have that beautiful smile again. and Jessica the way she walked through the financial steps in the options.And don't let me forget even the greeting from Leah, such a warm positive welcoming.Exceptional!!!!And I am extremely excited about this journey that my daughter is ready for and to see her smile with fun confidence. 😊That was just the start, I'll update once the fixing starts with braces!!!!!!❤️❤️🤍🤍💯

Joshua E.

We love Dr. Sam! He is thorough, explains everything really well, and is patient with all my kids.

Brett M.

Pulitzer Orthodontics wasn't the practice that did my braces, but I wish they did. When my retainer broke and I was two thousand miles away from my orthodontist, I went to Pulitzer. They helped me figure out my options and I had a brand new retainer by lunch the same day for $196. Everyone there was professional and very friendly. Leah, Judy, and Hannah at the front desk were fantastic and made the place feel like home. Especially Leah!

Colleen G.
