From my first day (consultation) to current, they have made me feel welcomed! They have tended to every need, very professional, clean, very sanitized, caring, extremely detailed, very forthcoming with information and/or changes, and feels like a family atmosphere. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for Orthodontia treatment! You won't regret it!

Everyone was so incredibly kind. My 8 year old was quite nervous and tearful about having to get some hardware, however the staff was amazing and she felt at ease from the moment we crossed the threshold. I cannot say enough positive words about our experience. Literally every person we encountered had nothing but reassuring words and smiles for us. Now my child is actually looking forward to going back, I would call that a huge win!

The orthodontia itself is great, the office is fabulous the personal interaction is also great. They are, however, completely insensitive to the fact that many people work. Their scheduling hours seem to cater to people who don't have jobs and who don't mind having their kids miss school. Very frustrating.

I visited their office and was blown away at how beautiful it was. The receptionist, the hygienists and the orthodontists were so nice, friendly, knowledgeable and were absolutely WONDERFUL. It was an amazing experience. They run a great office. If you need orthodontist work, this is where you need to go.
