Corus Orthodontists is proud to welcome Baby & Rojas Certified Orthodontic Specialists to its expanding North American partnership network. With three locations in Ontario, Baby & Rojas Certified Orthodontic Specialists is Corus’ eighteenth Canadian-based practice.
Founded in London, ON in 2000 by Drs. Paula Baby and Jaime Rojas, a husband and wife team, the practice has built a reputation for creating beautiful smiles and providing high-quality orthodontic treatment. Both orthodontic specialists are known for their professional, exceptional patient care and work with their talented team to create a comfortable, stress-free and rewarding experience for patients.
For Dr. Rojas, learning about the process of transitioning a practice to another orthodontist was what motivated him to explore options for their future. Knowing how long a transition could take, they wanted to get ahead and prepare for this eventual need. Many conversations pointed them in the same direction – Corus.
They were immediately interested in Corus after speaking with CEO, Dr. Paul Helpard, and learning about how the partnership model’s values aligned with their own patient-first approach. Drs. Rojas and Baby felt reassured that they’d be able to continue treating their patients with the best care as well as providing ongoing leadership to their staff. Another unique differentiator that made them feel like it was the right fit for them was the fact that they’d be able to maintain their brand and autonomy.
“Drs. Paula Baby and Jaime Rojas are both dedicated to the enhancement of the specialty of orthodontics, which makes them a natural fit for Corus. Jaime was once an academic and both he and Paula have been examiners in orthodontics with the Royal College of Dentists of Canada,” says Dr. Paul Helpard. “Partners in practice and partners in life, they are our third husband and wife team at Corus. We welcome them and their exceptional team to the Corus family.”
What Drs. Rojas and Baby are looking forward to the most is being a part of a network with a culture of collaboration. For both of them, the realities of being business owners during the COVID-19 pandemic really highlighted the need for support and a strong network to lean on.
“Knowing that there are others around us that are part of the network is huge,” says Dr. Rojas. Dr. Baby adds, “We’re looking forward to the sub-committees and being able to share our skills and experiences on a bigger scale to help Corus. It’s nice to have something else to do outside of running our business. We’re excited to pitch in and participate in something bigger.”
