Bio to come

Sampson

Mascot

Sampson was Dr. McConville’s sweet boxer and the inspiration behind our practice slogan: “Need a Better Bite?” His lovable disposition, combined with the irony of being an orthodontist’s fur baby with an extreme underbite, earned Sampson the role of our beloved mascot. While he enjoyed his role here at Sandhills Ortho, he never let the fame go to his head. Although we deeply miss Sampson, his legacy lives on as our cherished mascot.
