Meet Our Orthodontists

Dr. André Haerian completed his DDS degree at McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1993. While at McGill, he was honored with numerous prizes and awards for achievements in academics, practical skills, and overall excellence in treatment. In 1995, Dr. Haerian received his MS in Orthodontics from the University of Detroit Mercy. He then attended the University of Michigan, School of Dentistry where he earned his PhD in Oral Health Sciences.

Fluent in English, French and Farsi, Dr. Haerian loves what he does and gives back to his community as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. As he puts it, "Teaching gives me an opportunity not only to share what I've learned, but also the chance to elicit enthusiasm and excitement about orthodontics. Dr. Haerian works hard but he plays hard, too. For exercise, he hits the road with his running partner, Lexie, a rescued greyhound. He also enjoys snowboarding on some of the highest mountains in the world and also rock climbing. He is attaining "new heights" as he is currently working on getting his pilot license.

Dr. Jennifer R. Ludwig went to Ohio State University where she earned her DDS degree. She completed her general practice residency at the Medical College of Ohio. She holds a MS in Orthodontics from the University of Detroit Mercy.

Dr. Ludwig is a native of Toledo, OH and loves to stay connected to her community. She is involved with the Sylvania Chamber of Commerce and Bedford Business Association. Dr. Ludwig is currently serving as Major in the Ohio Air National Guard. In her free time, she enjoys a wide array of outdoor activities — rollerblading, biking, boating, and skiing — plus, any other activities her three young nieces talk her into.

Dr. Eugene S. Simon has over 30 years of experience in dental specialties. After a pediatric dental residency, he started a pediatric dental practice in Toledo that grew into Sylvania Pediatric Dentistry. From 1979-1981 he returned to the University of Detroit to obtain his certificate in orthodontics and Masters of Science.

Over the years, he has had articles published in the Journal of Clinical Orthodontists and has also given professional lectures for the Great Lakes Association of Orthodontics and the American Association of Orthodontics. For 10 years, he also served as a Clinical Assistant Professor for the University of Detroit Orthodontic Graduate Program. He is still looking for new ideas and techniques to constantly improve our orthodontic results. It is too bad he can't improve his golf game as easily! Dr. Simon and his wife Carol have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. They enjoy traveling, vacationing in Florida, and spending time with family and friends.
