Andrew J. Dusel, DDS, is a practicing orthodontist with Orthodontists Associates of Western New York, PC with offices located in Hamburg, Olean, Orchard Park, and Lancaster, New York.
Dr. Dusel is a native of East Aurora, New York, and graduated from East Aurora High School in 1998. He was awarded his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Ithaca College in 2002. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, magna cum laude, from University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 2007. He was the recipient of the Dean’s Award during his fourth year for outstanding academics and community service. He was active in the Buffalo Outreach and Community Assistance (BOCA) program and traveled to the Dominican Republic on a dental mission trip in 2006. He was an active member of the Dental School Admissions Committee during his fourth year, and has recently rejoined the committee since moving back to the area.
Dr. Dusel completed his orthodontic training at Montefiore Medical Center at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City in the spring of 2010. He received his Certificate in Orthodontics after a very clinical-based, three-year program. Dr. Dusel received the department award for excellence in teaching of medical students during his three-year residency program.
He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Society, the New York State Dental Association, the Eighth District Dental Society, and the Erie County Dental Association. Dr. Dusel is American Board of Orthodontics Board Eligible, and plans on completing his Board Certification in Orthodontics in Dallas, Texas, in February of 2011.
Dr. Dusel is very familiar with Orthodontists Associates of Western New York as he was an assistant and lab technician for a year prior to entering dental school. He has spent a good deal of time in the office during his dental and orthodontic training so that his transition into the office would be seamless. Like Dr. Hietanen and Dr. Colarusso, Dr. Dusel has experience treating a wide range of patients with the focus on early treatment orthodontics. He has experience treating children, adolescents, and adults and has treated complex craniofacial patients and cleft palate patients with the Craniofacial Team at Montefiore Medical Center. He is well-trained in surgical orthodontics and is Invisalign® Certified.
Dr. Dusel is a parishioner at St. Louis Church in Buffalo, New York, and is involved with his church community. He also enjoys playing in the BDSL Soccer League, golf, platform tennis, waterskiing at Rushford Lake, and snow skiing at Holimont in Ellicottville.
He enjoys spending time with his wife, Helen, who is a general dentist in the area. They enjoy cooking, camping, and running in the area.
