Dr. Orr graduated from Winnetonka High School in 2004 before attending college at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana to play Division I men’s college volleyball. Following this, he returned to Kansas City in 2008 to attend dental school at the University of Missouri – Kansas City. Upon graduation in 2012, he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy.
During his time in the Navy, he completed a GPR residency in Bethesda, MD, was stationed in Iwakuni, Japan with the Marine Corps, served as the Dental Division Officer aboard the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) aircraft carrier during Operation Inherent Resolve in the fight against ISIS, and finally wrapped up his seven year Navy career as the Administrative Assistant to the Chief of the Navy Dental Corps. He was then accepted to the Orthodontics residency program at the University of Pennsylvania where he served as chief resident and received his certificate in 2021.
Dr. Orr is married to his wife, Dr. Brittany Oliver, a dermatologist at University Health in downtown Kansas City. They have three adorable and quirky Italian Greyhounds named Josie, Enzo and Gia. When not in the office, Dr. Orr enjoys volleyball, photography, cooking, guitar, sailing, and traveling (especially to Germany to visit his wife’s family!) and is always up for a glass of wine and some stellar Kansas City barbecue!
