"This is an exceptional office. Everyone is always so kind and friendly and they have been very accommodating anytime we have needed a quick adjustment. I have boys age 9 and 10 both in braces with them right now and it has been a very pleasant experience. All staff and Dr. Rasmussen have been very patient with one of mine who has a lot of energy and asks a lot of questions due to anxiety. They always take their time with him and explain what they are doing."

Michael Rasmussen
Dr. Michael Rasmussen

Dr. Rasmussen, known by his patients as Dr. Razz, grew up in Midland, Texas. He competed in Taekwondo and golf at state and national levels throughout his childhood, which taught him the importance of hard work and personal effort. He’s grateful for the chance to help you discover your beautiful, healthy new smile, and can’t wait to get to know you and your family.

Dr. Razz was in the top 15 of his graduating class from the University of Texas at Austin. He went on to UT’s prestigious School of Dentistry at Houston, where he graduated top of his class, served as president of the student body, and won the school’s first nationally-recognized Hinman Research Symposium President’s Award for his work on researching Craniosynostosis. Dr. Razz then earned his Master’s Degree at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis where he completed his orthodontic residency.

Finally, Dr. Razz passed the rigorous American Board of Orthodontics certification process to become Board certified, which involved demonstrating his orthodontic knowledge in front of 18 nationally-recognized orthodontists and researchers. Dr. Razz continues to attend seminars and conferences around the country in order to provide you with the latest and most up-to-date care.

Dr. Razz has been happily married to his wife, Danielle, since 2019. They recently welcomed a beautiful baby boy to their family! In his free time, Dr. Razz likes to play guitar and travel with Danielle. When he’s not dishing up stunning, healthy smiles, Dr. Razz dishes up delicious meals—he and his dental school friends won a local BBQ competition with their buffalo and caramelized onion sliders!

“The staff here is phenomenal! They are all very friendly and professional! Dr.Rasmussen is so amazing with our girl! He explains everything to her step by step and makes sure she is comfortable. If he notices something off in her dental hygiene he brings it to our attention and gives us pointers on how we can help her with it! Our kiddo is flying through this treatment and has made such amazing progress in a much shorter time than anticipated! They do excellent work here and we are very pleased that they are our ortho! Thank you guys!”

“It has been a real pleasure coming to Shaw Orthodontics! Dr Rasmussen hands down is the best ortho I’ve encountered . He makes sure to explain the process of your treatment in a way you understand not just medical terms. 10/10 highly recommend . The energy from the receptionist to the staff in the back is energetic & inviting. I will be recommending everyone I know to Shaw orthodontics.”

“I would give 100 stars if I could!!! The experience I have had so far with my daughters braces have been outstanding. My oldest daughter had braces ( from different place) brackets were constantly needing replaced. This time around we have not had to replace any, everything is going fantastic!!!!❤️ Watauga”
