Meet Dr. Li-Ping Chew, Your New GO Orthodontist in Starkville and Columbus
We’re thrilled to officially welcome Dr. Li-Ping Chew, a board-certified orthodontist who is now actively caring for patients at our Starkville and Columbus, MS offices.
Dr. Chew earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania before being selected for the Mayo Clinic’s prestigious three-year orthodontic program, as the only dentist in the nation chosen for this highly competitive honor.
Her advanced training shaped a precise, research-driven approach that translates into beautifully personalized treatment plans for every patient she serves.
From Dr. Chew herself:
“My passion for serving communities, both abroad and right here at home, has shown me how connection and care can transform lives. I’m grateful to bring that same spirit to GO Orthodontics and help patients achieve the beautiful smiles they deserve.”
Her dedication to excellence doesn’t stop there. To maintain her board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics, Dr. Chew completes ongoing continuing education and recertification, staying at the forefront of modern orthodontic innovation.
Her passion for service extends globally as well, with humanitarian work in Kenya and Rwanda, where she trained local dentists in orthodontic techniques to help expand access to specialized care.
Exceptional GO Orthodontists at Every Location
Dr. Chew joins a trusted team of highly-experienced GO Orthodontics doctors, including Dr. Gililland, Dr. O’Bannon, Dr. Gonder, and Dr. Radford, each dedicated to providing the same elevated level of care, clinical precision, and patient-first approach our practice is known for.
Together, our orthodontists collaborate to ensure every patient benefits from decades of collective experience, innovative techniques, and a unified commitment to creating confident, healthy smiles.

Protecting Your Smile with the Retainer Assurance Program
Our commitment to creating beautiful smiles goes beyond active treatment with our Retainer Assurance Program.
Your smile deserves long-term protection. Teeth naturally shift over time, which is why consistent retainer wear is essential after treatment.
Our Retainer Assurance Program allows patients to order replacement retainers at significantly reduced fees for up to five years after treatment, without the stress of full-price replacements.
It’s one more way we GO above and beyond for lasting results.
