"Our daughter had a consultation and we scheduled her for her phase 1 braces the same week. From a friendly greeting at the beginning to a “see ya next time” from all the staff. They all cheered for her and clapped when they brought her back to welcome her! The orthodontist explained things to me in a way I could understand and ways to help her. The staff that helped her was so kind and helped calm this mama’s nerves. They came and made sure I understood everything in the brochure and made sure my daughter did too. Very thankful for our positive experience. Lyndsay"

“Haven’t even been there yet and been on phone all day trying to find who to go to and they just made my first call experience the best. Been there and it was great and very helpful. Everyone was so polite and they had a nice set up. I recommend making the beautiful drive up there. They have some really high tech equipment as well.”

“My son broke a bracket and was so scared to get it fixed. When we got there Ms. Kayla took him back and made him feel so much better about having it replaced. Kaiden has never really liked the dentist or drills as he calls them but Kayla was so patient and so supportive during his visit! She is by far one of our favorite’s! Kaiden said she always makes me feel better!”
