Dr. Escott grew up in Yakima, Washington, and discovered as a young man that he wanted to pursue a career in healthcare, finding his passion in dentistry. He graduated from Central Washington University in 2007 with a BA in biology, minoring in chemistry. He then attended Nova Southeastern University for dental school, where he focused on orthodontics and was awarded membership to the exclusive Omicron Kappa Upsilon society, graduating with honors in 2011.

After dental school, Dr. Escott completed a three-year orthodontic residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, becoming a certified specialist in orthodontics and earning a Master’s of Science degree. During his residency, he also worked nights and weekends as a general dentist at CentroMed, a non-profit community health center, serving the underserved population in San Antonio.

In 2014, Dr. Escott moved to Central Florida and acquired Principe Orthodontics in Mount Dora, as Dr. Gilbert Principe prepared for retirement. Under Dr. Escott’s leadership, the practice has thrived and continues to be a cornerstone in the Lake County community, just as it has since the 1970s when it was founded by Dr. Principe. In 2016, Dr. Escott expanded by merging with College Park Orthodontics, founded by Dr. Noelle Williams, allowing Dr. Williams to transition out for family commitments. In 2024, Dr. Escott continued to expand by merging with Martin Orthodontics in Baldwin Park, as Dr. Jeffrey Martin retired after serving the Orlando community for over 30 years. Each practice expansion has furthered our goal at Escott Orthodontics to provide exceptional clinical care and experiences to our patients by building our team of highly-trained team members and establishing the facilities needed to operate from convenient Central Florida locations.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Escott loves tennis, SCUBA diving, and underwater photography. His original photography is displayed in his office, and he enjoys sharing his dive pictures with patients.
