Meet Dr. Wayne Hane

My practice philosophy is to provide the highest quality of orthodontic care in a comfortable and caring environment.  I find fulfillment in knowing that I can truly make a positive difference in some aspect of each of my patients’ lives.  The ability to improve one’s smile, health and outlook on life is very rewarding.

Personal Life

I was born and raised here in the Santa Clara Valley.  During my childhood years, I lived in San Jose and spent my summers working on my parents’ vegetable farm in Mountain View.  During high school, I played the alto sax and was on the basketball and track teams.

After graduating from San Jose High School, I spent the next four years at UCLA, where I earned my Bachelor of Science.  Although I enjoyed Southern California, I really wanted to return home to the Bay Area.  The next 6 years were spent at the UCSF School of Dentistry for my dental and orthodontic training.  I met my lovely wife Jeannie while I was in dental school.  We were married in 1992, and soon after, we adopted our first puppy, Kobi, from the Santa Clara Humane Society. 

I have always enjoyed staying physically active.  During lunch, I can often be found working out at a nearby gym.  I also love golf and playing an occasional pick-up game of basketball.
