Recently, in an effort to better serve the communities of North San Diego County, Dr. Flores bought the practice of Dr. Robert Reznichek in Escondido in 2015. So now, there are two convenient Flores Orthodontics locations, Fallbrook and Escondido.
Locally, Dr. Flores enjoys staying involved and giving back the community by participating in membership with the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce and the Bonsall Chamber of Commerce and by actively supporting the local schools, local sports teams and other local organizations.

Smiles Change Lives, a national nonprofit organization, was founded in 1997 to provide access to affordable orthodontic care to children from low-income families. Since the program’s inception, SCL and its partner orthodontists have treated more than 1500 children nationwide.
With an approach that treats the whole patient, Dr. Flores is working with San Diego State University and The Healthy Smiles Program to promote physical activity, healthy eating, healthy lifestyles and habits among teens and pre-teens. The program provides positive reinforcement to patients in an effort to increase healthy eating and physical activity.
