The Story
Orthodontics has always been a fascinating blend of biomechanics, art, and healthcare for Dr. Santucci.
When coupled with the ability to work with people of all ages, helping to shape their confidence, it was a profession that he knew from early on that he would pursue.
In fact, Dr. Santucci’s first orthodontic training program was at Hullings Orthodontics, where he studied under Dr. Jon Hullings and worked alongside the team as an intern. It was always the plan to come home to Wichita and join what he considers the best practice in town.
The Life
Dr. Santucci’s journey began in the vibrant landscapes of California and New York, but it was in Wichita, Kansas, where he truly found his footing. It was here, at the age of twelve, that he first crossed paths with Stephanie, the girl who would eventually become his lifelong partner and wife.
After graduating from Wichita Heights High School, their enduring friendship turned into a deep love, culminating in their marriage in 2017. Together, they are raising two beautiful children, Ariana and Alexander, who are the heart and joy of their lives.
Family is Dr. Santucci’s top priority, and he is deeply committed to providing a loving and supportive environment at home. His dedication extends beyond his personal life into his commitment to self-care, particularly through fitness. For Dr. Santucci, staying active is not just about physical health; it’s about maintaining mental wellness too.
Away from work and family duties, Dr. Santucci enjoys golf — a sport he values for its discipline and the tranquility it offers. He’s also known among family and friends for his light-hearted spirit and readiness to share a dad joke, which never fails to elicit smiles.
His go-to joke? “How did the dad introduce the hamburger to his family? Meet Patty.”
In all aspects of his life, Dr. Santucci embodies humility, warmth, and a genuine care for others, making him a respected and cherished member of his community.
