At LoCo Ortho, we believe that exceptional customer service and a unique patient experience are key to our success. I’m truly passionate about making our patients feel like family the moment they step through our doors. Every detail of our office has been thoughtfully designed with our patients in mind. From a calming waiting area and a coffee bar featuring fresh baked treats and specialty drinks, to a comfort menu and private treatment rooms filled with natural light, we strive to create a welcoming environment.
I grew up in Northern Virginia, and for the past six years, Leesburg has been home for my husband and our two amazing kids.

Susie Silva
Treatment Coordinator/Senior Consultant
As a proud co-owner of Loco Ortho, I have dedicated over 30 years to the dental and orthodontic field, and every moment has been rewarding. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work is witnessing the transformations of patients who initially feel shy or reserved—sometimes even uncomfortable in their own skin. Seeing their newfound confidence is what fuels my passion; it’s incredibly gratifying.
At Loco Ortho, we are committed to providing a red-carpet experience from the moment you walk through our doors. Our goal is for every patient to leave feeling better than when they arrived. We truly appreciate the trust you place in us, and we strive to show our gratitude by making you feel valued at every step of your journey. Our board-certified doctors focus on delivering personalized, expert care, ensuring exceptional and tailored results for each patient.
Fun fact: I’m an avid baker! From wedding cakes to holiday cookies and my famous banana bread (freshly baked for our patients), there’s always a sweet treat waiting for you at Loco Ortho!

The Experts Behind Your Results
Dr. Ashley Larson
Hello! My name is Ashley Larson. Helping people see their true potential and providing a new sense of confidence guided me to dentistry, but in the end it was the desire to provide a strong foundation for healthy growth and natural beauty that led me to orthodontics.
I attended University of Wisconsin-Madison for my undergraduate degree, and then ventured closer to the east coast and completed my dental degree at University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. I completed my residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at Seton Hill University and have been fortunate enough to share my knowledge with my patients for the past 7 years. I have completed both Aligner Intensive Fellowships 1 & 2 and have become a top 1% provider of Invisalign clear aligners including Invisalign First for our younger smiles.
When I am not crafting confident smiles, I enjoy reading, socializing with family and friends and the occasional travel adventure. My fur baby, Zoe, a 12 year old Golden Retriever, makes sure I get plenty of fresh air as she greatly enjoys resting outside. I cannot wait to meet you and look forward to your future smile!
Dr. David Cole
Hello, I’m Dr. David Cole, a third-generation orthodontist. From a young age, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the profound impact that dentistry and orthodontics can have on people’s lives. As a teenager, I worked in my family’s practice, creating appliances and assisting with patients. I also accompanied my family on multiple trips to the Dominican Republic, where we provided essential dental care to hundreds of individuals without access to the services we often take for granted. These experiences opened my eyes to how dentistry can make a tangible difference in people’s lives. I saw firsthand how transforming a smile could boost a person’s self-esteem and, in many cases, shape their future.
I graduated at the top of my class from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, following my undergraduate studies at Grove City College—where I also met and married my wife, Cassie. I pursued my specialization in Orthodontics at the highly regarded Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. Afterward, I completed the rigorous board certification process and am proud to be among the select orthodontists certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. For the past several years, I’ve practiced in Northern Virginia, with a focus on smile aesthetics and clear aligner therapy.
