"Smile Doctors Orthodontics is simply the best. They have friendly, respectful, competent, and wonderful staff, and they provide excellent service. For instance, my son had an appointment on Saturday, June 24th. We arrived there early. I thought that he was going to have to wait until the scheduled time. However, the young lady at the front took care of him right away. I would recommend Smile Doctors Orthodontics to anyone because they are simply the best."
