Meet Dr. Dan Kratzer – Orthodontist In Shawnee, Midwest City & Norman, OK
I was born and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I am married to Kristin Kratzer, who is a general dentist. Kristin grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We have 3 kids, Eliza, Luke, and Evan. My kids are young, but I can already tell they will all need braces. They are popcorn maniacs, and Luke really loves candy – so I’m no different than you when it comes to some of the future challenges of life with braces!

Orthodontist With A Passion For Orthodontics & Learning

I went to college and dental school in PA before moving to Oklahoma in 2008 to attend an orthodontic residency at the University of Oklahoma. After 11 years of school, my proudest academic achievement came in 2012, when I became board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a designation that only 30% of orthodontic specialists achieve.

At OU, I met Dr. Behrmann and Dr. Kadioglu, who are the best partners anyone could ask for. Our common mission and vision for Orthodontic Specialists of Oklahoma is to improve the quality or orthodontic care and access to orthodontic care in the state of Oklahoma. We love what we do.

Outside The Orthodontics Office

My family and I love to travel, and our favorite place to relax is the Bahamas or the Mountains. I spend most of my free time playing with my kids, taking them fishing, going biking with them, and playing cards and other games. Luke is only 4, but he always tries to stack the deck when we play – but I’ve caught on to him! Recently we have been learning magic tricks and doing artwork. If I ever have any time to myself, I like to ride my bike or visit the YMCA.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Raving Review for Orthodontic Specialists of Oklahoma (Now in Yukon!)I can’t say enough good things about Orthodontic Specialists of Oklahoma our entire experience was incredible from start to finish!They didn’t just help with our primary insurance, they went the extra mile guiding me through secondary insurance, which saved us over $1,000 out of pocket on my daughter’s extractions. On top of that, they honored an additional discount and gifted us a brand-new pair of AirPods Pro Max. 🩷 Seriously, who does that anymore?!From the moment we walked in, the facility itself blew me away, it’s absolutely beautiful, clean, and modern, with a calm, welcoming energy that instantly puts you (and your nerves) at ease. My daughter felt comfortable right away, and as a mom, that made all the difference.Special shoutouts where they’re due:✨ Iromi was so kind and patient, helping us with scheduling and payments and making everything a breeze.✨ Johnathan worked his magic with insurance approvals and our consultation, breaking everything down so clearly that I never once felt lost or stressed.✨ And Dr. Romero — truly a rockstar. He was compassionate, thorough, and genuinely invested in my daughter’s comfort and understanding.Everyone on the team was incredibly kind, and bonus ✨ B I L I N G U A L ✨ for my Spanish-speaking friends!My daughter left feeling confident, informed, and so excited to start her orthodontic journey that she nearly cried happy tears. 🥹We have Cigna and SoonerCare, and OSO worked seamlessly with both, which is no small task.If you’re in Yukon or nearby and looking for orthodontic care for yourself or your family or just want a trustworthy place to recommend I highly suggest Orthodontic Specialists of Oklahoma (OSO). They’ve set a whole new standard for comfort, communication, and care. 💫

I started my treatment in 2022 at the beginning of the year and I am currently almost done with my treatment December 18th I will be getting my braces off. The staff has always been so nice, supportive, and accommodating. These three years have been long but so worth it because I am in love with my smile and my teeth, and i seriously wouldn’t have wanted to go through any other Orthodontist except this place. I am so happy to be done with my treatment but I will miss the staff and the joy they would bring to every appointment. Also, they allow payment plans and as a young adult that helped me out so much and I appreciated that because a lot of places don’t offer that.

The staff is awesome. They are always willing to answer any questions or concerns we may have. Making appointments is always so easy. Love the new building. They have a lot more space and it feels more personal.
