“We have two daughters going to KC Orthodontics with very different needs but the care and attention they receive is still exemplary! The staff at KC Orthodontics is top notch. They’re friendly, professional, caring and quick to respond to questions both in person and remotely. We’ve had a couple of speed bumps along the way and the KC team was quick to respond and help us course correct and continue towards the goal! I don’t think we could be any happier with an Orthodontist experience.”

“Dr. Chen is a Godsend to this business and I love her sweet and sincere care for her clients. I’m thankful for the expedient timely transition. Personally I was already done and quite dissatisfied and displeased with that whole setup including the majority of the rude and disrespectful (Office staff) except for the older adult Lady that book your appt 😁 Which brings me to my pt. I agree with the rude & insensitive young staff receptionist on phone calls. It’s so disrespectful and just happened again today. (Several times) Being so angry after sharing my Flight from Chicago to KZO was over 4 hrs late but I would still try to make it if Im going to be about mins late which was already very stressful. Incidentally I call after 7 and was told it’ll be okay but Thank God I called back to verify the late apt. Talk to “Jen” had to ask her name because the voice was quite familiar. She needs personal training on how to treat and respect your clientele! Especially the upmost respect for older adults. You usually get that from your home upbringing 🤔 So DR Chen I don’t feel justified in not giving you full praise but please speak on this! Happy New Year’s to the Entire Staff Family at KC’s🙏🏽🥳🎊😇”
