My main goal is to build trust early with my patients, so they feel comfortable and confident in my chair throughout their treatment. I always strive to create a supportive, welcoming environment to help foster that trust. Since moving back home, I have looked forward to finding common ground with my patients, sharing familiar experiences and connections that make our relationships even more meaningful.
A native of Baton Rouge, I graduated from St. Joseph’s Academy in 2014. Following my bachelor’s degree in Biological Science at Louisiana State University, I attended Louisiana State University School of Dentistry, where I graduated with honors, including membership in the C. Edmund Kells Honor Society and Omicron Kappa Upsilon. I continued my education at LSUSD, earning my Masters of Science degree and certification in orthodontics.
Orthodontics is constantly evolving, and I believe my patients deserve care that reflects the very best our specialty has to offer. I stay current by actively participating in continuing education courses, attending national and regional orthodontic meetings, and engaging in study clubs with colleagues to discuss emerging techniques. I am also a recent published author in the American Journal of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics.
Orthodontics combines my love for building relationships with my patients and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on their lives. I find it incredibly rewarding to help people feel more confident in their smile – watching them go from hiding their smile to proudly showing it off is one of the best parts of what I do. Growing up in Baton Rouge, I knew of the outstanding reputation of Frugé Orthodontics. It is truly an honor to now be part of this team. I am grateful to have been welcomed into the Frugé family, and I am committed to upholding their values by treating every patient with the same care, respect, and compassion as we would family.
I have always been a Louisiana girl through and through, and I have been fortunate to stay so close to home to achieve my dreams. Outside of orthodontics, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Ben, and our daughter, Josie. A fun fact about myself is that I grew up competitively dancing and I served as Captain of the LSU Golden Girls three of my four years on the team, so we never miss an opportunity to cook and cheer on the Tigers!
Dr. Hope and Brenda were amazing! They made sure I was comfortable and were both so kind and patient and answered all of my questions that I had.
Dr. Hope and the rest of the team are lovely! I was seen at three of their offices and had an amazing experience at each one! I’m so happy with my smile for the first time ever, and Dr. Hope really cares and is really supportive. It was a journey, but I’m so happy I chose to do it with these guys!
Great services, very friendly staff, communication skills are great. Very informative and explained all care after visit with us along with demonstrations. Sent us home with goodies to start off with to maintain care of braces! Dr Hope and staff member assisting with placement of braces get a 10/10 across the board.
Very kind and friendly staff! Dr. Hope is amazing!!
Thank you so much to Dr. Brad,Dr. Hope and team at Frugè orthodontics, they made my daughter’s first set of braces experience and removal such a smooth process. She is starting her second set and it’s been an easy transition back. Everyone we encountered at the office in Gonzales were so kind and professional. Would highly recommend!
