About
Dr. Jason Rothenberg
I grew up in Manalapan, NJ and started down the path of orthodontics by earning a Bachelor of Science from Pennsylvania State University. I went on to earn my Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Temple University School of Dentistry, where I graduated as the top student in my class and was elected into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Honor Society. I remained at Temple to complete an orthodontic residency program and earn both a specialty certificate and a Master of Science in oral biology.
I’m proud to say I’ve been voted one of New Jersey’s top orthodontists in New Jersey Monthly Magazine, and a favorite of families in Northern New Jersey in New Jersey Family Magazine. My office is fun and casual but we’re serious about what we do.
Away from work I enjoy playing golf and softball, physical fitness, and spending time with my family. My wonderful wife Jennifer and I have two sons, Ian and Jordan.
