Opening Frazier Orthodontics is a dream come true for Dr. Frazier. She loves being an orthodontist and considers it a privilege to serve her patients each day. From the moment you meet her, you’ll notice her energy, warmth, and excitement for helping people transform their smiles and improve their lives.
Originally from Illinois, Dr. Frazier attended the University of Illinois before moving to Chicago for dental school, where she graduated at the top of her class and received multiple awards for leadership and character. She then pursued her Master’s degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the University of Iowa, one of the top orthodontic programs in the country. While there, she met her now husband, Dr. Chad Ward.
After completing 10 years of advanced education, Dr. Frazier returned to the Chicago suburbs to work in a busy private practice. When she and Dr. Ward began thinking about where to plant roots and raise a family, they fell in love with the Greenville area. After Chad accepted a position with Prisma Health, they made the move and never looked back. Today, they feel incredibly fortunate to call the Upstate home and to be part of such a vibrant, welcoming community.
Outside the office, Drs. Frazier and Ward enjoy exploring the outdoors with their children and their rescue dog, Brutus. You’ll often find them biking or running the Swamp Rabbit Trail, trying new coffee shops, shopping at local farmers markets, hiking nearby trails, or cheering on their favorite sports teams. Though they’re proud to support local sports, their Midwest roots still run deep—go Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, and all of the colleges they attended through their dental and medical training (Iowa Hawkeyes, Illini, Indiana Hoosiers, and Ohio State Buckeyes)!
As a busy mom herself, Dr. Frazier understands the importance of compassionate, personalized care. She treats every patient the way she would want her own family treated—with empathy, transparency, and excellence. She uses the latest technology and innovative treatment techniques to make orthodontic care as efficient, comfortable, and convenient as possible.
Dr. Frazier believes orthodontics is about more than just straightening teeth—it’s about building relationships and empowering patients. She takes the time to get to know each patient personally, explains treatment options clearly, and works collaboratively to ensure you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
She is incredibly proud of the practice she has built and the incredible team of women working alongside her. Together, they have designed an orthodontic practice where patients feel like family. The office motto, “Be the Light,” reflects her commitment to bringing positivity, joy, and kindness into every interaction.

I have worked in orthodontics since 2009, so I have been caring for patients longer than some of our patients have been alive! I even get to care for some of my previous patients’ kids.
When not at the office, I love traveling and have been to 5 different countries.
I’m a natural redhead who loves all kinds of music. I love to travel - Scotland is on my bucket list!
I love Taylor Swift and can name all of the albums by color. I love all of her albums, but Reputation is my favorite
I am an enthusiastic traveler who enjoys the journey. Road trips are better from the passenger seat!
I love my dogs, Bubba and Frank. I bring them everywhere with me and plan my weekend activities around spending time with them.
