Patient Reviews
“Love the orthodontist, I drive 2 hours just for that reason. Now that it is getting to the end of my daughter’s time with braces the teeth are started to Shift and hurt quite a bit. Went in on Friday for an appointment and called Monday because she was in pain, I was told sorry we can’t give a note for school unless she was here today….. I really think that is a policy that needs changed because of how schools are nowadays, but I do plan finishing it out there because it’s not much longer…. I hope others have a better experience if they come across this situation because mine was not so great!”
“All staff always amazing! Yes including the Dr”
