Education Matters

“Education was my ticket to getting where I am today. So, if there is any way I can assist others to achieve their dreams, I would like to help.” 
— Dr. Haeger

Scholarship Programs

Education changes lives. Paired with hard work and grit, it has opened doors for Dr. Haeger to become a top orthodontist. Furthermore, his success has allowed him to humbly assist his bright patients in achieving their academic goals.

Every year, Dr. Haeger awards $10,000 in scholarships of $1,000 or $2,000 each. This has amounted to over $100,000 since this initiative began.

Getting to know the brilliant patients that come to Haeger Orthodontics is the inspiration behind this program. A college education can change your life, but it can be very costly. We hope to ease the financial burden to uplift and propel our patients toward success.

Scholarship

From 2000 – 2023 Dr. Haeger has awarded over $100,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors. I have truly enjoyed learning about and supporting the successful endeavors of our Haeger Orthodontic patients over the years.

In April, 2023 we opted to give over $5,500 to four top-notch local non-profits that have impressive community outreach and support literally thousands of people. They include Conservation Northwest, Relay for Life, Maple Valley Creative Arts Council, and Kent Youth and Family Services.

Thank you for supporting my orthodontic practice, for choosing Haeger Orthodontics to treat you and your family with personalized orthodontic care, and for your continued referral of your friends and neighbors so they too can have a beautiful smile! I look forward to treating each and every one of them, so please keep referring!

Giving Back to First Responders

It is an honor to bring our patients together in support of the courageous first responders in our local community. Dr. Haeger has partnered with local schools for the annual Halloween Candy Buyback. This program encourages children to trade their excess candy for cash and prizes. The collected candy is then delivered to local first responders, with the hope of bringing a moment of joy and sweetness to their day!
