“Both of our kiddos went to TDR! We had a great experience and they both have beautiful smiles!”

“Dr. Niles and his staff of very caring professionals have always treated my granddaughter, Jenna, with respect. She was very fearful of the whole process at first and they took the time to patiently explain every single step taken to correct her profound overbite. Lynette was especially kind and made the effort to see her almost every visit so that she had continuity. Finally she was able to go back to the treatment area on her own, confident that they would do their utmost to make her comfortable. We had the best experience, and Jenna’s teeth are beautiful! Thank you to everyone at TDR. We highly recommend TDR to anyone needing orthodontic treatment!!!”

“We have been seeing Dr. Fraser for a couple years now. I enjoy his honesty and I trust his professional opinion. He worked wit us to make a plan for our son, and he was not there to rob my wallet. However, the TRUE star of the office is, Lynette!! I cannot say enough good things about Lynette! Lynette goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is nonetheless the best! She made my son feel comfortable about getting his braces on, during our visit she heard my concerns and used outside the box solutions to help our family. I will forever be grateful to her and the rest of the staff at TDR Howell! 5 stars, 10/10 recommend.”
