Robert D. Isaacs, DDS*

Dr. Robert D. Isaacs has been practicing orthodontics since 1986. Dr. Isaacs is a proud native of Baltimore County. He started his education at Pleasant Plains Elementary School in Towson at its grand opening! Dr. Isaacs is a graduate of Gilman School, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland Dental School, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He remained at Maryland Dental School to complete his certificate training in orthodontics. Upon graduation, Dr. Isaacs was awarded The Daniel Sheehan Award of Achievement of Academic and Clinical Excellence in the Field of Orthodontics. Dr. Isaacs is also a member of both OKU and Phi Kappa Phi national honor societies, as well as the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association. Dr. Isaacs is proudly a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. 

Working as a carpenter throughout college and for five years after, it was a life-changing accident that ultimately redirected Dr. Isaacs' love of construction to change its scale of building: from framing houses to framing faces with individual, beautiful, hand-crafted smiles. While there are similarities in the laws of physics between any construction career, it is the added benefit of helping people – children and adults – that Dr. Isaacs enjoys. His passion for his practice of orthodontics has taken him to be recognized as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and awarded Baltimore's Best Orthodontist for many years. Both of his children, daughters Jessie and Annie, have also recognized the joy their father experiences in his practice of orthodontics to the extent that Jessie is practicing alongside her father as an orthodontist herself, and Annie is in pediatric dentist in the area. Both Jessie, Annie and Dr. Isaacs enjoy working on cases together! Mrs. Isaacs, Betsy, recently retired after 42 years as a teacher at Oldfields School, where she taughthigh school math as well as cross country. The entire family is constantly busy supporting Betsy and Pet Rescue of Maryland that she cofounded many years ago. This group specializes in abandoned animals, re-socializing them in foster homes – especially the Isaacs' home – and eventually finding their "forever" home. The Isaacs' are finding it more and more challenging to name these fosters as the number of placed dogs alone approaches 500.

Scott Nawy, DDS, MA*

Dr. Scott Nawy has been providing orthodontic care in the Baltimore area since 1997, combining extensive clinical experience with a commitment to staying at the forefront of orthodontic treatment. Originally from Queens, New York, he grew up in Marlboro, New Jersey, and earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biology from SUNY Binghamton before attending Columbia University’s School of Dental and Oral Surgery. At Columbia, he received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery and was recognized for clinical excellence in Orthodontics. He remained at Columbia to complete a three-year advanced training program in orthodontics, earning his Certificate in Orthodontics and a Master of Arts degree for his research on the effects of estrogen on root resorption.

Dr. Nawy is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a member of the Dean’s Faculty at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. He maintains active memberships in several professional organizations, including the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association. Recognized by his peers as one of Baltimore’s top orthodontists, he is committed to providing thoughtful, high-quality care tailored to each patient’s needs. He regularly participates in advanced study clubs and has completed additional training at the Dawson Academy and the Spear Institute. Believing that excellent care begins with continued learning, Dr. Nawy completes more than 100 hours of continuing education each year to remain current with the latest developments in orthodontics. He is also a Diamond Invisalign® Provider.

For Dr. Nawy, excellent orthodontic care goes beyond achieving a healthy, beautiful smile. He believes it also means creating an experience in which patients feel comfortable, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. This philosophy is at the heart of the practice’s identity as “Baltimore’s Friendliest Orthodontists.” Dr. Nawy feels fortunate to have been surrounded over the years by a warm, personable staff who share his commitment to making every patient’s experience a positive one.

As he reflects on almost 30 years in practice, Dr. Nawy considers the trust placed in him and his team one of the most rewarding aspects of his career. Referrals from fellow dentists have long been an important part of the practice, particularly when those dentists entrust him with the care of their own family members. Just as meaningful are the patients who recommend the practice to their friends, neighbors, and family. To Dr. Nawy, these recommendations reflect not only confidence in the quality of care provided, but also the relationships built and the positive experiences shared along the way.

Outside the office, Dr. Nawy enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, and being with family. He and his wife, Melissa, who is originally from Annapolis, have made Lutherville their home. They have four children and recently welcomed their first grandchild. Dr. Nawy is also an enthusiastic sports fan who enjoys cheering on the Baltimore Ravens, the Florida Gators, and UC Davis women’s lacrosse.
