About John K Neubert

Dr. Neubert graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara (1990) and received his D.D.S. (1994) from the University of California Los Angles (UCLA). He has earned specialty certificates in both Orofacial Pain Management from UCLA (1996) and Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from the University of Florida (2013). Dr. Neubert continues to treat both patients in need of orthodontics and those with orofacial pain. Dr. Neubert has been a faculty member at the University of Florida since 2003 and currently serves as the Director of pre-doctoral orthodontic education. Dr. Neubert is also an established translational researcher and his work is recognized worldwide.
