Our Name Is Our Compass: The Seven Values Behind Every Smile
We’re big on values around here
Long before Compass Orthodontics opened its doors in Medina, Dr. Sperl and his wife, Stephanie, a pediatric nurse practitioner, knew the kind of care they wanted to offer. Seven values inspired the practice they dreamed of building, and they are a big part of why the two chose to open a practice of their own. Today, those values spell our name.
Compassion, Ownership, Mastery, Personalization, Alignment, Service, and Success. They guide how we answer the phone, plan treatment, and celebrate every finished smile. As a family-owned practice, they’re also how we take care of one another as a team.
The seven values behind every smile
C — Compassion
Putting people first in every interaction.
We treat every patient, family, and team member with genuine care, empathy, and respect. That means listening closely, answering questions thoughtfully, and making sure a nervous first-timer feels at ease.
O — Ownership
Responsibility and integrity guide our work.
We take pride in our work and responsibility for our decisions, actions, and relationships. Every team member is empowered to do what’s right for our patients and our practice.
M — Mastery
Delivering expert care with skill and confidence.
Orthodontics is a specialty, and we’re proud to practice it at the highest level. We pursue clinical and service excellence through continuing education, close attention to detail, and advanced orthodontic techniques and technology, like comfortable digital scans in place of messy impressions.
P — Personalization
Personalized treatment for every patient.
Every smile is unique, so every plan is too. Whether braces, Angel Aligners, or Clarity Aligners fit you best, we tailor treatment, communication, and care to your goals, your schedule, and your family.
A — Alignment
Aligned in purpose, action, and care.
We work with shared purpose, honesty, clear communication, and mutual respect. When our team, values, and actions move in the same direction, you get consistent, high-quality care and a seamless experience from visit to visit.
S — Service
Serving patients and our community.
We serve our patients and our community with integrity and generosity. You’ll find us in local classrooms teaching young students about healthy smiles, and cheering on the teams and events that make the West Metro home.
S — Success
Meaningful outcomes that last.
We measure success by the trust we earn, the care we deliver, and the confidence we help create. We celebrate meaningful outcomes for our patients, our team, and our community, and we love sharing the moment you see your new smile.
