Patient Reviews
“The entire staff here is so nice and friendly. Everyone greets you with a hello. Dr. Forrest is amazing and very detailed in the way that he speaks to you. My son is just getting started with his treatment but I can already tell it’s going to be a pleasant experience!”
“Dr. Forrest is fabulous!! He is very humble and down to earth. Katie is thoughtful, sweet hearted and a pure joy!!”
“got my first set of top braces my first time ever being at the clinic I was surprise it’s really beautiful and nice staff are so sweet and for gods sake they have a movie theater in the clinic to entertain for family and children it’s a really beautiful place honestly you feel right at home This is the first place that was willing to work with me on a down payment for my braces and I was able to get them the same day best orthodontist that I’ve been to by far hands down 🙌🏾”
“Every adjustment my daughter has is an amazing experience. From our welcome to the care, you can feel the warmth and human connection that’s rare this days. It’s a family there”
“From the very first encounter with Jackie and Dr. Forrest in February 2017, to the personal warm smiling faces at the front desk each and everytime we go in, to the awesome techs in the back! Everyone in the office has a great attitude and you know everyone is working together to give your kiddo the best possible smile! I have to say my oldest son had an extremely difficult case and we weren’t even sure if it was even possible to bring down his adult canine teeth. Dr. Forrest gave us a 25% chance for one canine and 50% chance for the other. He had to have an oral surgery and 2 phases of braces. Which I appreciate the two phases because that year between the phases they still monitored him but it gave his teeth a break without brackets. AMAZINGLY Dr.Forrest was able to successfully get both his adult canines down to the correct place! The office has always been extremely helpful, courteous and very easy to work with even when our insurance changed midway through treatment, they worked with us. My second son (who just started his orthodontic journey Jan. 2022 with Dr. Forrest) was excited to go because he has seen his brother go for years! Melissa and Dr.Forrest helped get him started and we now have about 5 or 6 months with 2 kids in braces. I’m so glad we chose to put our kiddos future smile in Dr.Forrest hands!!!”
