Kathleen Pale, DMD

“I love the relationships the most. It really takes something special to get to know your patients and their lives and more than just their teeth. It’s a whole person that we’re treating.”

– Dr. Pale

Dr. Kathleen Pale was born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia. She attended high school at Saint Basil Academy and college at Saint Joseph’s University. Dr. Pale then relocated to beautiful Arizona where she attended Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine. After receiving her doctoral degree in dental medicine, Dr. Pale returned home to Philadelphia to complete a three-year residency specializing in Orthodontics at Albert Einstein Medical Center.

Dr. Pale is so grateful to be part of a profession that is a gorgeous blend of art and science. She is passionate about working one-on-one with her patients to create their ideal smile. There is nothing more exciting to Dr. Pale than the moment a patient first glances at their new smile!

Dr. Pale became interested in orthodontics after she received her first set of braces and an expander in fourth grade. Dr. Middleberg was her orthodontist! She was so fascinated by the process that she continued to tag along to her sister’s orthodontic appointments. At the young age of sixteen, Dr. Pale started an after-school job with Drs. Gemmi and Middleberg. She continued to work with them as an orthodontic assistant while attending college until the day she left for dental school. Dr. Pale is so excited to be reunited with her orthodontic family!

Dr. Pale is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Greater Philadelphia Society of Orthodontists, the Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists, and the American Dental Association. She is also part of the teaching staff at Einstein Medical Center, where she helps educate future orthodontists!

Dr. Pale and her husband are PA natives but met in the Tucson Airport when their college vacations crossed paths – and the rest is history! She has three fur babies: a black lab named Walker Texas Ranger and two cats, Rhonda and Leo. In her free time, Dr. Pale enjoys gardening, baking, hiking, going to the beach, and chasing her two children around the playground!
